A New Sub-Lethal Factor in Hens

Lethal and sub-lethal impacts of lead on some hematological, biochemical and immunological indices in Caspian roach (Rutilus rutilus)

The present study has been conducted on Caspian Roach (Rutilus rutilus) so that the impact of different concentrations lead on blood hematological, biochemical, and immunological indicators could be investigated. The roach (Rutilus rutilus), used in this study, was 3.3±0.3 g heavy and 4±0.80 cm long in average. The fish were exposed to a low concentration of 10% LC50 and high concentration of 5...

Sub-lethal ammonia toxicity in largemouth bass.

Guidelines for ammonia toxicity in fish are often determined using static exposure tests with immature fish over a 96-h period. These results may not be relevant to aquaculture, hauling or angling tournament scenarios where mature fish can be exposed to ammonia for shorter durations, often following additional stressors such as handling. The current study sought to quantify (1) the impact of am...

A growth factor for hepatocytes is inactivated by sub-lethal gamma-irradiation in vivo or in vitro.

Serum from partially hepatectomized rats promoted DNA synthesis in primary adult rat hepatocyte cultures. If the rats had been exposed to sub-lethal gamma-irradiation immediately following operation or if their serum, collected at 3 h, was exposed to irradiation in vitro, the growth-promoting activity was destroyed. Prostaglandin E2 also stimulated DNA synthesis in the cultures; if PGE2 was irr...
