Two fields experiments were achieved during the Nili season of 2017 and 2018 at Experimental Farm Faculty Agriculture, Fayoum University, Gornorate to investigate effect soil humic acid rates (0, 25, 50 75 kg fed-1 ), foliar zinc oxide nanoparticles concentrations (50 100 ppm) on tomato hybrid growth productivity. The interaction between kg/fad. spray with ppm increased leaf area / plant canopy...

Nicotine administration (2.5 mg/kg of body weight, sc, 5 days a week for 22 weeks) enhanced lipid peroxidative indices (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and hydroperoxides) accompanied by a significant increase in the marker enzymes alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase and elevated levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids...

Weight loss is prevalent in the elderly population, with deleterious health consequences, notably loss of lean body mass and subsequent functional decline. Protein intake below the current RDA [0.8 g/(kg · d)] is also common in older adults; however, the link between the 2 has received little attention. Our objective was to assess the relation between protein intake and incident 1-y weight loss...

“Morbid Obesity” (ICD 278.01 / BMI >40) is an entity distinct from “ o b e s i t y ” , the latter term encompassing the broad ra n ge of ove r we i g h t . Available treatment modalities as well as outcomes differ substantially over the spectrum of higher BMI. Representative data for behavior modification, diet and exercise show at best an average weight loss of 4-7 kg at 2 years, with decreasi...

The seizure sensitivities to pentylenetetrazol (Ptz, 25-100 mg/kg) and strychnine (S, 2 mg/kg) were tested in two mice lines selected for large (LB) and small (SB) brain weight (brain weight difference being approximately 75 mg). The selection was based on a regression line connecting body and brain weight. SB mice were more sensitive to both drugs-their seizure latencies were shorter and letha...

The impact of ribavirin (RBV) dosage on sustained virologic response (SVR) rates remains elusive in hepatitis C virus genotype 2 (HCV-2) rapid responders receiving 16 weeks of peginterferon (Peg-IFN) plus RBV. Treatment-naïve HCV-2 patients with rapid virologic response (RVR) received Peg-IFN alfa-2a 180 μg/week plus weight-based RBV (1,000 or 1,200 mg/day; cut-off body weight: 75 kg) for 6 wee...

The current study was performed to investigate the effect of oocyte donor status, including age and body weight, on metaphase II (MII) oocyte recovery using two superovulation methods in cynomolgus monkeys. The use of Method A [recombinant gonadotrophin (75 IU/kg, 3 ×, 3-day intervals) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)] led to great increases in ovary size and the mean number of MII oocyte...

Waste handling systems for confined swine production in the upper South (approximately 32-37 degrees N and 79-93 degrees W) depend mainly on anaerobic lagoons and application of the waste effluent to cropland. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of 'Coastal' bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] hay receiving effluent generated from a raw swine waste treatment syst...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation regimes and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield and yield components of chickpea (ilc482), a field experiment involving chickpea genotype ilc482 was conducted as factorial arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season o...
