background: the dramatic increase in the incidence of diabetes and its associated complications require a natural and safe solution to control and delay such complications. the present study tested the hypothesis that probiotics may affect biochemical indices of diabetic patients methods: thirty four types 2 diabetic patients aged between 25 to 65 years, and diagnosed with diabetes for less tha...

a total of 1440 arian chicks were used in this study to determine the effects of diet formulation methods on performance and blood parameters of arian chicks. eight diets were arranged in a 2×2×2 factorial design with 2 methods of energy expression (apparent (amen) and true (tmen) metabolizable energy corrected to n equilibrium), 2 methods of amino acids content of feeds (total (taaf) and diges...

Soybean and its isoflavones have been shown to have beneficial effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and on renal function. Probiotics may potentiate the beneficial effects of isoflavones by converting the inactive isoflavone glycoside to aglycones, which are biologically active, thereby producing a synergistic effect. We therefore studied the effects of soybean isoflavones in the presen...

an experiment was conducted on eight weak and anaemic goats revealed pale conjunctivae, increased heart rate, rough hair coat, dullness and depression. the haematology showed significantly decreased haemoglobin (7.37±0.16 g %), packed cell volume (pcv)(23.37±0.56%),total erythrocyte count (tec)(8.12±0.18 million/cumm), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (mch) (9.10±0.30 pg) and mean corpuscular volum...

Objective(s): Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in commercial food additives and cosmetics worldwide. Uptake of these nanoparticulate into humans by different routes and may exhibit potential side effects, lags behind the rapid development of nanotechnology. Thus, the present study designed to evaluate the toxic effect of mixed rutile and anatase TiO2 NPs on serum bioc...
