biography

Hossam El-Din Mohamed Omar is a Professor (Animal Physiology), Dept. of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, Egypt. Since 1993, he is teaching several course; Physiology, Immunology, Toxicology, Biochemistry for post-graduate students and several courses for under-graduate students; Physiology (1) & (2), Immunology, Animal venoms, Healthy feeding, Physiology of reproduction, and general Zoology for Faculty of agriculture, Pharmacy, and dentary. Reviewer of many international Scientific Journals.

 

Area of Interest

1- Biosynthesis of prostaglandin from labeled polyunsaturated fatty acids as mediators of inflammation and cellular proliferation.
2-Bioactive compounds from natural source like venoms of snakes and scorpion, algae and its application in biology.
3- Drugs (cisplatin & cyclosporine) and pollutants (Nitrite, morpholine, Potassium Bromate, lithium, lead, acrylamide & mycotoxins) which induced adverse affects that mediated by oxidative stress in multiple organs.
4- Xenobiotics (estrradiol & endotoxins) biotransformation.
5- Applications of using antioxidants in ameliorating the oxidative stress that induced by some diseases like diabetes and hyperlipidemia that induced by high fat/high sucrose diet.
6- Prevention of diabetes complication by using antioxidants.
