Down Regulation of Osteocalcin Gene in Chickens Treated with Cadmium

Background: Cadmium is one of the heavy metals with harmful effects on different body organs and systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the harmful effects of cadmium, as a heavy metal, on the histological structure of bone and the expression of osteocalcin gene. Methods: Forty chickens were obtained, anesthetized and their femurs were surgically removed. The real time polymerase ch...

coordination of protective schemes in distribution and subtransmission systems including distributed generation

نصب منابع پراکنده در سیستم های توزیع و فوق توزیع علاوه بر مزیت های فراوان، مشکلاتی را هم به همراه دارد. یکی از این مشکلات تأثیر این منابع روی اندازه جریان های اتصال کوتاه است. به طور معمول از حفاظت های مبتنی بر اصل جریان زیاد در سیستم های توزیع و فوق توزیع استفاده می شود. از مهمترین طرح های حفاظتی استفاده شده در فیدرهای توزیع، حفاظت فیوز- ریکلوزر است. همچنین از طرح های حفاظتی جریان زیاد جهتی در...

Effects of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) Extract on Performance, Antioxidant Ability and Blood Gas Indices of Broiler Chickens Treated with Sodium Nitrate in Drinking Water

A total of 220 broiler chicks in five groups were used to reveal the effects of different levels of 0.0, 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 mL/L rosemary extract along with sodium nitrate (27.4 mg/L) in drinking water as compared to the control (without any supplement in water) on performance and antioxidant potential of treated broiler chickens. Body weight gain and feed conversion ratio were negatively affecte...

Distribution of uranium in rats implanted with depleted uranium pellets.

During the Persian Gulf War, soldiers were injured with depleted uranium (DU) fragments. To assess the potential health risks associated with chronic exposure to DU, Sprague Dawley rats were surgically implanted with DU pellets at 3 dose levels (low, medium and high). Biologically inert tantalum (Ta) pellets were used as controls. At 1 day and 6, 12, and 18 months after implantation, the rats w...
