Objective: Perinatal nicotine exposure induces malformations and imbalances the prooxidant/antioxidant status. The present study aimed to investigate the possible protective effects of green tea extract against perinatal nicotine-induced alterations in mice newborns. Materials and methods: Pregnant mice received 0.25 mg/kg nicotine on gestational day 12 to postnatal day 15. A control group received an equal volume of saline.

The present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro effect of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) addition to the culture medium on the development of the bovine secondary preantral follicles. Bovine secondary preantral follicles were collected and divided into two groups depending on their size (80-100 μm and 100-110 μm). They were cultured in vitro for 15 days (D) using different media including at three different doses of ALA.

A novel and selective nitrite sensor based on non-covalent interaction of Schiff base copper complex [Cu(sal-ala)(phen)] with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was developed by simple eco-friendly approach. The morphology of the prepared RGO/[Cu(sal-ala)(phen)] nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction studies and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

A novel electrochemical sensor based on the functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (f-MWCNT)
was successfully developed for the sensitive and selective determination of non-steroidal prostate
anti-cancer drug nilutamide in tablet and blood serum samples. The f-MWCNT was prepared by the simple
reflux method and characterized by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy (EDX), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared
