The goal of this study was to investigate the reproductive profile male Senduro Goats as superior candidates based on data semen quality. experiment carried out ten kept at Singosari Animal Husbandry Service Unit in East Java, Indonesia. An artificial vagina used collect sperm. macroscopic and microscopic qualities fresh Goat sperm have been observed. Color, volume, smell, pH, viscosity were ex...

background: it is known that vanadyl compounds are capable of alleviating hyperglycemia in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.   objective: to examine the effect of vanadyl sulphate (vs) on spermatogenesis of male rats.   methods: male rats (n=10) were administered 32 mg/kg/day of vs orally and 50 meq/l nacl (as drinking water) for one month.  meanwhile, 11 male rats, the control group, recei...

Heat stress has long been recognised as a cause of subfertility in farm animals. The objectives of the present study were to elucidate the effect of heat stress on sperm function and involvement of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) 14 signalling pathway. Spermatozoa incubated for 4 h at a physiological temperature (38.5°C) exhibited significantly (P<0.05) reduced motility, plasma memb...

To determine the role of vagal nerves in initiation and modulation of the gastric migrating motor complex (MMC), motor activity was recorded in four dogs before and after total abdominal vagotomy during fasting, after exogenous intravenous motilin and insulin, and after feeding. After vagotomy, a temporally coordinated cyclic gastric and small bowel MMC persisted with an unchanged period. Durin...

It has been reported that mental stress causes abnormality of spermiogram parameters. We investigated the effect of psychological stress on the L-arginine-nitric oxide (NO) pathway. Semen samples were collected from 29 healthy fourth semester medical students just before (stress) and 3 months after (non-stress) the final examinations. Psychological stress was measured by the State Anxiety Inven...

opium is one of the oldest herbal medicines currently used as an analgesic, sedative and antidiarrheal treatment. the effects of opium are principally mediated by the μ -,κ- and δ-opioid receptors. opioid substances consist of all natural and synthetic alkaloids that are derived from opium. most of their effects on gastrointestinal motility and secretion result from suppression of neural activi...

reproductive parameters evaluation is considered as helpful tool for gene bank formation in ecological and economically important animals species. gloydius halys caucasicus is venomous, viviparous pit viper of northwest of iran. in this research, the spermatic reproductive parameters of this taxon were studied. twenty six male snakes were collected from takht-e-soleiman region between september...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nervous and humoral pathways involved in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-induced ileal brake in conscious pigs. The role of extrinsic ileal innervation was evaluated after SCFA infusion in innervated and denervated Babkin's ileal loops, and gastric motility was measured with strain gauges. Peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) concentration...

conclusions in this study we showed that eft, measured by echocardiography is higher in subjects with ai when compared to healthy controls. epicardial fat thickness had the best independent correlation with ai in multiple logistic regression analysis. incidentaloma is also associated with increased left ventricular mass index and cimt. adrenal incidentaloma patients may show early cardiac chang...
