Abstract
Evidence supports the role of exercise training and probiotics on reducing obesity. Considering the relationship between obesity and high-fat diet with anxiety indices, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of probiotic supplementation and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on anxiety-like behaviors, corticosterone and obesity indices in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity mice. Thirty male adult C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups: (1) Control with normal diet (CON), (2) High-fat diet (HFD), (3) HFD + exercise training (HT), (4) HFD + probiotics supplement (HP) and (5) HFD + exercise training +probiotics (HTP). Exercise training consisted of 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs. Probiotics supplement included 0.2 mL Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Anxiety-like behaviors were measured by open field (OF) and Elevated plus maze (EPM). OF and EPM tests, visceral fat mass (VFM) measurement, and blood sampling for corticosterone were performed after the intervention. Bodyweight was measured at different stages during the intervention. HFD regime in C57BL/6 mice increased bodyweight, VFM, and serum corticosterone levels and anxiety-like behaviors (p < 0.05). HIIT, probiotic and their combination, decreased bodyweight, VFM, and serum corticosterone levels and improved anxiety-like behavior in the HFD mice (p < 0.05). The effect of a combination of HIIT and probiotic on most of the anxiety indices was more than each one separately (p < 0.5). HIIT and probiotic supplements separately or above all in combination, may have beneficial effects in reducing obesity and anxiety indices.

Abstract
Methyl jasmonate (MJ), a plant-derived stress hormone, has been shown to be a promising anti-cancer agent with high selectivity toward cancerous cells. The aim of the present study was to design a MJ loaded nanoemulsion (NE) to overcome the low MJ water solubility and also improve its anti-cancer efficiency. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed to optimize the composition effect of three independent manufacturing variables on two responses including average droplet size and poly dispersity index (PDI). ANOVA analysis indicated that both of the studied responses were well fitted by resultant quadratic models with the coefficient of determinations (R2) 0.994 and 0.975, respectively. The actual average droplet size 75.06 nm and PDI 0.017 obtained for the optimum MJNE was in good agreement with those values predicted with numerical optimization. Physicochemical characterization indicated that the optimum MJNE was transparent, isotropic, spherical and sterically stabilized. MTT assay indicated that MJNE was more efficacious in killing cancer cells than MJ solution. Cell cycle analysis revealed that MJNE induced a stronger sub-G1 arrest than MJ solution. A considerable absence of toxicity was achieved for MJNE and blank NE in HUVEC normal cells. These results may provide strong support to develop a NE delivery system as a promising carrier for improving the safety and anti-cancer efficacy of MJ.

Abstract
The effect of nucleotides on single chloride channels derived from rat hepatocyte rough endoplasmic reticulum vesicles incorporated into bilayer lipid membrane was investigated. The single chloride channel currents were measured in 200/50 mmol/l KCl cis/trans solutions. Adding 2.5 mM adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) did not influence channel activity. However, MgATP addition inhibited the chloride channels by decreasing the channel open probability (Po) and current amplitude, whereas mixture of Mg(2+) and ADP activated the chloride channel by increasing the Po and unitary current amplitude. According to the results, there is a novel regulation mechanism for rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) Cl(-) channel activity by intracellular MgATP and mixture of Mg(2+) and ADP that would result in significant inhibition by MgATP and activation by mixture of Mg(2+) and ADP. These modulatory effects of nucleotide-Mg(2+) complexes on chloride channels may be dependent on their chemical structure configuration. It seems that Mg-nucleotide-ion channel interactions are involved to produce a regulatory response for RER chloride channels.

Abstract
This study deals with effects of different salinities on the survival, growth, reproductive and lifespan characteristics of three Artemia populations from Urmia Lake and small lagoons at the vicinity of the lake under laboratory conditions. Experimental salinities ranged from 75 to 175 g L(-1). Salinity was proved to have significant impact on the majority of the characters studied in this survey. Growth and survival in bisexual A. urmiana and parthenogenetic Artemia from Lake Urmia were significantly higher with respect to the parthenogenetic Artemia from lagoons at most of the salinities tested. Reproductive characteristics such as total number of broods, total offspring number of offspring in each brood and number of offspring at each day of reproductive period reduced with increasing salinity. Moreover higher salinity prolonged the prereproductive period but shortened the total reproductive period. Higher salinities also affected the percentage of encystment and post-reproductive period, showing significantly higher values in parthenogenetic populations in comparison to bisexual A. urmiana.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of MEHP on in vitro maturation of mouse oocytes and resulting embryo development. Denuded oocytes (DO) were cultured in maturation medium supplemented with 0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 microM levels of MEHP for 24 h. The matured oocytes then were fertilized and cultured for 4 days. The percentage of Germinal Vesicle (GV) stage oocytes were significantly higher in 200 and 400 microM MEHP treatment comparing to the control (P < 0.05). The proportion of oocytes that progressed to the metaphase II (MII) stage was significantly decreased by adding of MEHP in a dose related pattern. The 2-cell embryo formation was significantly decreased with 400 microM treatments than the control. Moreover with further culture in experimental groups none of the embryos comparing to that of the control group were developed to morulla stage (P < 0.05). These results indicate that MEHP could negatively modulate mouse oocyte meiotic maturation in vitro and embryo development, suggesting possible risks for human and other mammalians reproductive health.

Abstract
In the present study, the effects of intraperitoneal, intra-accumbal and intra-ventral tegmental area administration of L-arginine and N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl-ester (L-NAME) on conditioned place preference behavior were studied. Intraperitoneal (i.p.; 0.5, 1 and 5 mg/kg) and intra-accumbal (intra-NAc; 0.3, 1 and 3 microg/rat), but not intra-ventral tegmental area (intra-VTA; 0.3, 1 and 3 microg/rat) administrations of L-arginine produced a significant place conditioning. Similar injections of L-NAME did not produce any response. However, intraperitoneal pretreatment of the animals with L-NAME (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg), 30 min before L-arginine administration, significantly abolished the acquisition of place conditioning induced by either intraperitoneal or intra-accumbal injection of L-arginine. Moreover, injection of L-NAME (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) on the test day did not alter the L-arginine response. The results may indicate that L-arginine induces conditioned place preference via an increase in nitric oxide (NO) in the nucleus accumbens.

Abstract
Prometaphase and metaphase chromosome analyses performed on 70 consecutive men with primary infertility (for a period of at least 2 years) revealed 8 (11.42%) men with some kind of chromosomal abnormality. The highest frequency of abnormal karyotypes (10%) was found among patients with azpospennia and the most frequent anomaly was 47, XXY chromosomal constitution, found in 6 (8.57%) patients. All the chromosomal aberrations found in this study was sex chromosomal type and we did not find any autosomal aberration. All patients with numerical chromosomal anomalies had azoospermia. The incidence of structural aberration in our study was 1.42%. Fifteen patients had different chromosomal variants (21.38%). We suggest that men with azoospermia should be considered for cytogenetic investigation and we report that "variants of the Y chromosome" have no influence on the sperm count (million/ml) and fertility of men.

Abstract
Various diester analogues of nifedipine, in which the orthonitrophenyl group at position 4 is replaced by 1-methyl-2-methylthio-5-imidazolyl substituent, were synthesized and evaluated as calcium channel antagonists on guinea-pig ileal smooth muscle. Nifedipine was used as standard. Comparison of the activities of symmetrical esters (3a-e) indicate that increasing the length of alkyl chain in C3 and C5 ester substituents increases the antagonist activity and the n-propyl ester being preferred (IC50= 2.66 x 10(-9) M). In asymmetrical series (6a-g), compound 6g having ethyl and n-butyl ester at C3 and C5 positions of basic dihydropyridine structure was found to be the most active (IC50= 1.32 x 10(-9) M).

Abstract
PROBLEM Previous studies showed that some infertilities are caused by antisperm antibodies (ASAs). It was shown that some major complement (C) components are present in seminal fluid. Due to the role of C in the pathogenesis of ASAs, the existence and amount of two key C components (C3 and C4) were investigated in seminal plasma (SP). METHOD OF STUDY Single radial immunodiffusion assay and a sandwich-type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used for C3 and/or C4 quantification, respectively, in serum and SP, and the tray agglutination test was used for ASA detection in 12 fertile and 53 infertile men (18 ASA-positive [ASA+] and 35 ASA-negative [ASA-] men). RESULTS Of the 18 ASA + infertile men, 61.11% had positive C3, whereas 27.77% showed positive C4 levels. ASA + infertile men showed significant differences in seminal plasma C3 mean values compared with ASA- infertile (P < 0.01) and fertile (P < 0.05) men, but the seminal plasma C4 values only showed differences compared with ASA- infertile men (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in serum C3 and/or C4 levels of ASA+ infertile men compared with other groups. No significant correlation was found between ASA titer and C3 and C4 levels in SP. A significant correlation existed between SP and serum C3 levels of ASA+ (r = 0.522, P < 0.01) and ASA- (r = 0.451, P < 0.01) infertile men, but no correlation was observed between C4 levels. CONCLUSIONS In the presence of ASAs, the C system has no definitive activity in blood serum or outside the male genital tract. In SP, and in association with ASAs, C has no lytic activity by the classical pathway. The excess of C3 in SP of ASA+ infertile men may participate in other C-mediated activities in the male reproductive tract.

Abstract
C3 and C4 components of the complement are normally present in human colostrum. These compounds are natural antibacterial agents. Pectin-rich plant extracts have been shown to induce prolactin release and milk synthesis when administered by the oral route in rat. In the present work, extract from a plant rich in pectin, Gossypium herbaceum was given orally to women 2 days after parturition. The extract enhanced concentration of C3 and C4 in colostrum but did not modify the total hemolytic complement activity (TCH50). No change in the concentration of the three compounds was observed in serum of the treated women. Control experiments showed that a treatment by placebo had no effect on colostrum composition. These data suggest that pectin-rich plant extracts favour transfer of C3 and C4 from blood to colostrum by an unknown mechanism. This observation suggests that some plant extracts might be used to reinforce the antibacterial activity of human colostrum.

Abstract
Previous work has shown that various plant extracts administered to animals stimulate milk protein synthesis through the secretion of prolactin. It has also been shown that beta-glucan and pectin are the active molecules capable of stimulating prolactin release in vivo after intravenous injections. In this work, it is shown that beta-glucan and several pectin derivatives are able to stimulate prolactin secretion from hypophysis fragments incubated for 2 hr in a synthetic medium.

Abstract
Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotrophin enhanced potassium level in immature rat ovaries in comparison with controls, three hours after intravenous injection. In vivo 42K uptake was also 36% higher (p less than or equal to 0,01) in PMSG primed rat ovaries. This response was specific to the ovary. Experiments are carried out to determine correlation between K+ level and macromolecule biosynthesis.
