salicylic acid is an important organic acid in plants rhizosphere soil exuded in the phosphorus (p) deficiency condition. to study the sorption behavior of p in the presence of salicylic acid, a batch experiment was conducted with different concentrations of salicylic acid (0, 2, 5 and 10mm) and p (0- 45 mg p/l) in a calcareous soil. the results showed that application salicylic acid decreased ...

Little is known about host immunodynamics during Brucellosis. We conducted immunohematological study in Brucellosis affected cattle for 3 months. Serum proteins and globulins were decreased very significantly (P<0.01) from zero day (0D) to 90D and significantly (P<0.05) from 0D to 30D. Globulins decreased significantly (P<0.05) from 0D to 75D. Titers of anti-Brucella antibodies by Standard Tube...

Background: Infertility is a complex medical problem. About 15% of couples are infertile, and male infertility being involved in roughly 50% of the cases. Among these, many cases are associated with a severe impairment of spermatogenesis. During the last stage of spermatogenesis (spermiogenesis), sperm chromatin endures complex modifications in which histones are lost and depositioned with tran...

Cuscuta australis (C. australis) seed and stem are commonly used as dietary supplements in a maize-meal, "Ogi", by the local population for the management of male and female reproductive dysfunctions. This study, as a part of on-going efforts, therefore, evaluated and compared the effects of Low Protein-energy (LP) and Normal Protein-energy (NP) diets on the sperm morphology and characteristics...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementing Lori ewes with rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) in late pregnancy on their performance and that of their lambs. Milk yield and blood metabolite profile were measured. Forty pregnant ewes were used in a completely randomized design trial with four treatments: 1) a basal diet (control); 2) with a supplement of 5% fishmeal; 3)...

Background & Aims: Hypertension, hyperuricaemia and nephrotoxicity are some common side-effects of Cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment in renal transplant recipients. Previous studies suggest that Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB) can increase serum level of CsA and may improve graft function in patients receiving CsA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Diltiazem and Amlodipine on cyc...
