BACKGROUND: Depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is one of the most effective contraceptive methods currently widely used. Injectable contraceptives, including DMPA, are growing in popularity because their ease use, effectiveness and affordability. The use DMPA also has advantages such as not interfering with sexual relations, does need male participation, require storage space, easy to obtai...

Obesity is a condition of weight excess above average weight. can happen due to calories continuing into the body without being offset by physical activity. This study aims determine effectiveness water extract Ulva Lactuca against loss in obese mice. type research used laboratory experiments using design posttest only control group research. we grouped 7 groups, namely: normal Control, Positiv...

This article presents the results of a study on susceptibility laboratory animals to lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). Mice weighing 15–20 g, hamsters 40–60 guinea pigs 600–1200 and rabbits 2.5–3 kg were used in this study. Nodules observed at sites inoculation. The was isolated from affected areas cell culture examined using real-time PCR, indicating its tropism for animal skin. production anti...

Nano-sized drugs have better distribution than their identical forms. Magnesium is the cofactor of various enzymes in lipid and glucose metabolism. In this study the effect of nano-magnesium oxide (nano-MgO) on glucose concentration and lipid profile in diabetes induced mice was evaluated in 21 laboratory mice. Mice were divided randomly into three equal groups (control, treatment and placebo)....

Vasectomy in laboratory animals is a crucial step in the production of surrogate female mice. The surrogate mothers play a key role in successful embryo transfer, most important steps for the production of transgenic animal models, investigation of the preimplantation embryo development, and revitalization of cryopreserved strains. Abdominal and scrotal surgeries are common surgical proce...

Conventional tests of behavioral phenotyping frequently have difficulties differentiating certain genotypes and replicating these differences across laboratories and protocol conditions. This study explores the hypothesis that automated tests can be designed to quantify ethologically relevant behavior patterns that more readily characterize heritable and replicable phenotypes. It used SEE (Stra...

introduction: the most common mode of rabies virus transmission is through a bite wound or contact of broken skin with saliva of a rabid animal. various other routes of virus transmission include exposure of mucous membranes (i.e. eyes, nose, and mouth) to infected saliva of a rabid animal, aerosol transmission, and corneal transplantation. laboratory workers during work with rabies virus and v...

The environment in which a laboratory animal is housed can significantly influence its behaviour and welfare, acting as a potential confounding factor for those studies in which it is utilised. This study investigated the impact of two Individually Ventilated Cage (IVC) housing systems on anxiety-related behaviour and welfare indicators in two common strains of laboratory mice. Subjects were ju...

Background Spermatogenesis is a process in which the gametes are produced. Dysfunction in any of part of the process could result in infertility. Tribulus terrestris is a flowering plant which traditionally is used to sexual instinct. Reports indicate that this plant could elevate blood levels testosterone and enhance libido. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, twenty six mature inb...

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to model Cryptosporidiosis in laboratory animals. The parasites were inoculated into animalsand thenmultiplied. The process of proliferation was compared to controlCryptosporidiosis in humans. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five laboratory mice (4-7 days of age) and twenty-five laboratory rats (5 days of age) were assigned to the category I while the cat...
