BACKGROUND Thirteen red deer (Cervus elaphus), culled from the isolated population at the Mongstad Oil Refinery, Norway, were investigated for gastrointestinal helminths. These animals, enclosed by the refinery fence, do not have contact with other ruminants and have a high population density considering the available browsing area (1 km(2)) within the refinery site (3 km(2)). The population wa...

the aim of the study was to study the anti-ulcer activity of the methanolic extract of the leaves of capparis zeylanica linn on experimental animal models. the methanol extract of capparis zeylanica linn. leaves was investigated for anti-ulcer activity against aspirin plus pylorus ligation induced gastric ulcer in rats. hcl-ethanol induced ulcer in mice and indomethacin induced ulcer in rats at...

In the present study we investigated the anti-ulcer properties of Tamira Parpam (bio-copper) from earthworm against Aspirin plus pylorus ligation induced gastric ulcer in rats, HCl-Ethanol induced ulcer in mice and water immersion stress induced ulcer in rats. The number of lesions in HCI-Ethanol induced peptic ulcer model and mean score value of ulcer inhibition in water immersion stress induc...

Excretory/Secretory antigen was prepared by culturing live adult worms of Haemonchus contortus in RPMI 1640 medium at a concentration of 50 worms per mL in a culture-flask at 37 ˚C for 24 hr and the culture supernatant was used as antigen. The E/S antigen was purified by thiol-sepharose affinity chromatography. On western blot analysis, it was demonstrated that thiol-purified antigen showed a s...
