A Coulometric Determination of Urea Nitrogen in Blood and Urine.

HYPERTONIC LACTATED RINGER\'S SOLUTION IN EXPERIMENTAL VASOGENIC BRAIN EDEMA IN RABBITS: EFFECT ON BLOOD PRESSURE, ELEC TROLYTES, BLOOD UREA NITROGEN , TOTAL PROTEIN CONCENTRATION, PLASMA OSMOLALITY, AND CEREBRAL WATER CONTENT

Hypertonic solutions play an important role in the treatment of tissue edema. Following the induction of experimental vasogenic brain edema by occlusion of the common carotid arteries in eight rabbits, the effect of hypertonic lactated Ringer's solution (subjects), vs. isotonic lactated Ringer's solution (control), was studied on blood pressure, electrolyte (sodium, potassium, and calcium) ...

Adaptation of the Berthelot Color Reaction for the Determination of Urea Nitrogen in Serum and Urine to an Ultramicro System.

A new colorimetric method for the determination of urea nitrogen in blood with diacetyl monoxime-glucuronolactone-glucosaccharodilactone reagent.

In a previous paper,3) a colorimetric method for the determination of urea nitrogen in blood and urine was presented on the basis of a color reaction of urea with diacetyl monoxime (DAM) in phosphoric acid solution in the presence of D-glucuronolactone (GL), which served to produce a photo-stable color and eliminate the sigmoidal nature of calibration curve observed usually in the DAM method.4)...

Elevated levels of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine in the last trimester of pregnancy of dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius)

Background: The knowledge of blood parameters is important for assessing the physiological status and health of animals. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to determine the effect of heavy pregnancy on some serum indices of dromedary camels. METHODS: Twenty clinically healthy female dromedary camels aged between 4-5 years were divided into two equal groups: I: pregnant camels in their last tr...

Aqueous extract of Berberis integerrima root improves renal dysfunction in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats

Objective: Barberry root extract contains various alkaloids that are considered as antioxidants. Beneficial effect of aqueous extract of Berberis integerrima root (AEBIR) was evaluated for renal function in diabetic rats induced by STZ. Material and Methods: Diabetes was induced by i.p. injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg bw) to rats, after 15 h of fasting. Diabetic rats were randomly grouped...
