A digestion study with 28 yearling heifers (428 +/- 9.9 kg; Exp. 1) and a 2-yr winter grazing trial with 60 crossbred cows (552 +/- 6.9 kg; Exp. 2) were used to determine the effects of level of nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) supplementation on intake and digestibility of low-quality forage. Treatments were as follows: 1) control, no supplement; 2) 0.32 kg of NSC (1.8 kg/d of soybean hulls an...

the aim of this study was to evaluate an enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the detection of anti - helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) specific igg antibodies in specimens of oral fluid. all subjects over the age 18 years undergoing endoscopy for any reason were asked to participate in the study. two groups of 44 patients in each were selected as hp+ and hp-. at the same time, 5 milli...

conclusions genome instability in addicted patients was demonstrated in this study. controversially, considering incoherent results of previous studies and our data, more studies in longer duration of methadone use are needed to elucidate the consequence. results the mutagenicity index in addicted group was robustly higher than healthy volunteers. fortunately, this significant difference was lo...

Lignocellulolytic white-rot fungi allow the bioconversion of agricultural wastes into value-added products that are used in a myriad applications. The aim this work was to use corn residues (Zea mays L.) produce valuable under solid-state fermentation (SSF) with Pleurotus ostreatus. White-rot fungus P. ostreatus isolated from maize silage (MS) and thereafter it inoculated on MS as substrate com...

Enhancing Streptomyces cellulase production by supplying lignocellulose biomasses has been poorly investigated so far. In this research the biosynthesis of roseochromogenes ATCC13400 cellulases was increased for first time addition a cellulose fraction (2.5 g·L−1) to growth medium, isolated from marine origin Posidonia oceanica sea balls, generally called egagropili.. shake flasks 4.3 folds, co...

b a ckground: anoph eles culicifacies, a major malarial vector has been recognized as a complex of five sibling species, a, b, c, d and e. these sibling species exhibit varied vectorial capacity, host specificity and susceptibility to malarial parasites/ insecticides. in this study, a pcr assay developed earlier for distinguishing the five individual species was validated on samples of a n . cu...

objectives the current study aimed to investigate the immunostimulatory effects of the aqueous extract of heracleum persicum on mouse peritoneal macrophages. background the immune system provides protection against infectious diseases that are caused by various microorganisms, in particular pathogenic fungi. utilization of herbal immunostimulants is one solution to improve the immunity of human...
