The purpose of the study is to investigate whether there is any relationship between mean argyrophilic nucleolar organizing regions (AgNOR) number and total AgNOR area/total nuclear area (TAA/TNA) ratio and the levels of brain hypoxia after exposure to different acute doses of carbon monoxide (CO) gas. ⋯ AgNOR proteins may be used for early detection of the duration, intensity, and damage of brain injury caused by CO poisoning. Thus, effective treatment strategies can be developed for the prevention of hypoxic conditions.

Estrogens that are used as contraceptives or in replacement therapy are associated with an increase in the risk for developing thrombosis, mainly during the first year of treatment and in women with associated risk factors. ⋯ Tyrame reduces platelet aggregation and microvesicle formation, which emphasizes its potential therapeutic utility as an estrogen free of thrombotic effects.
