The present study was aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of Cystone syrup in an experimental model of glycerol-induced acute renal failure (ARF) in rats. Biochemical parameters, kidney weight and histopathological evaluation were performed to conclude the beneficial effect of Cystone syrup. Administration of single dose of 50% v/v glycerol (8ml/kg.i.m) caused severe renal dysfunction assoc...

Aim of this work was to evaluate if long-term dietary supplementation of potassium iodide (KI) to dairy goats can influence metabolic and hormonal parameters. Thirty Sarda crossbred dairy goats were divided into three groups, which were orally administered 0 (control group; CON), 0.45 (low iodine group; LI) or 0.90 (high iodine group; HI) mg of KI/day, respectively. The daily dose of KI (76.5% ...

High blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration is linked to low fertility in cows and ewes; however, this relationship has not been reported mares. The study characterized the between BUN follicular fluid (FUN) during follicle growth (Experiment 1) impact of from embryo donors on pregnancy outcome recipient mares 2). In experiment one, samples were collected diestrus with growing follicles estrus...

Gentamicin and vitamin C have been proposed as nephrotoxic and antioxidant, respectively. This study involved biochemical and histopathologic investigation showing protection and treatment of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rabbits using vitamin C for 26 days hypothesizing that whether vitamin C would inhibit or decrease the raised serum urea and creatinine levels. This study was conducted...

Material & Methods: An experimental laboratory study with a post-test only control design, using male (Rattus norwegicus). Rats were randomized simple sampling method. Samples treated cisplatin 5 mg/kg (positive group), 100 mg/kg, body, combination ...

Six Angus heifer calves (234 kg) were assigned to either a high (HP; 126.1 g N/d) or low (LP; 66.5 g N/d) protein intake to evaluate ruminal criteria associated with movement of blood urea-N (BUN)-derived NH3-N from the rumen wall into interior ruminal digesta. Calves received 4.8 kg DM/d of diets containing 30% cottonseed hulls and 70% cornsoybean meal in equal portions at 4-h intervals. Follo...

Abstract Very low-protein (VLP) diets are beneficial for reducing the nitrogen excretion from swine production, but these depress performance of pigs while supplemented with first four limiting amino acids (FFL; i.e. Lys, Met, Thr and Trp). The objective this study was to investigate effect supplementation Val Ile above NRC (2012) levels on performance, thermal radiation blood metabolites fed V...

Department of Electrical Engineering, Bayero University, PMB 3011 Kano, Nigeria. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The human mouth contains many kinds of substances both in liquid and gaseous form. The individual concentrations of each of these substances could provide useful insight to the health condition of the entire body. Am...

Aim. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of febuxostat, a novel inhibitor of xanthine oxidase (XO), on renal damage in streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic rats. Methods. Diabetes was induced by the intraperitoneal injection of STZ in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Sham-injected rats served as controls. The control and diabetic rats were treated with and without febuxostat for 8 we...

INTRODUCTION Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, has high mortality, particularly in its septicemic form. Data on the factors associated with mortality from melioidosis are still limited. METHODOLOGY All patients (≥ 15 years of age) who were positive for melioidosis by blood culture in the year 2009 were enrolled. The study was conducted at Khon Kaen Hospital, Thailand. Patients...
