Effect of ethanolic extract of propolis, royal jelly, honey and bee pollen in comparison with virginiamycin (as growth promoter antibiotic) as regards the performance and immune system of Japanese quail were assessed. We used 256 mixed-sex quail chicks in a completely randomized design by eight treatments, including control, ethanolic extract of propolis 1000 (PE1) and 5000 (PE2) mg kg-1</...

Bluefin tuna are endothermic and have higher temperatures, heart rates, and cardiac outputs than tropical tuna. We hypothesized that the increased cardiovascular capacity to deliver oxygen in bluefin may be associated with the evolution of higher metabolic rates. This study measured the oxygen consumption of juvenile Pacific bluefin Thunnus orientalis and yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares swimmi...

colocasia esculenta linn (ce) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as high blood pressure, rheumatic pain, pulmonary congestion, etc. hence in present study, the effect of aqueous extract of ce leaves (aece) was evaluated for antihypertensive and acute diuretic activity in rats. preliminary phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrate, saponins, tan...

a study was performed in hybrid up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (huasb) and anaerobic filter (af) reactors to compare the start-up time and optimum hrt required for the treatment of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater under similar loading conditions. initially, the reactors were started at an olr of 0.77 kg cod/m3.d and hrt of 36 h. loading rates were increased by reducing hrt 24, 16, 12, 10 an...

Studies were performed on 670 male mice of Swiss strain. Cernilton (mixture of preparation Cernitin T-60-100 mg/kg and Cernitin GBX--20 mg/kg emulsified by using Imwitor 370) was intraperitoneally administered in a volume of 30 ml/kg of body mass. LD50 of paracetamol was fixed after intraperitoneal administration. Certimilton was given 1 h before or 1 h after paracetamol in a dose LD100 and LD5...

BACKGROUND Tramadol is potentially a very useful pain relief medication in neonates and infants. It is primarily metabolized into O-demethyl tramadol (M1) by CYP2D6. Data concerning tramadol disposition and CYP2D6 activity in young infants are not available. METHODS A population pharmacokinetic analysis of tramadol and M1 time-concentration profiles was undertaken using non-linear mixed-effec...

The hypoglycemic effect of ethanolic extract of Casearia esculenta was investigated on alloxan induced diabetic rats. The blood glucose levels were measured at 0, 1, 2 and 3 h after the treatment. The ethanolic extract of C. esculenta (250 mg/kg) reduced the blood glucose of normal rat from 85.50±1.22 to 64.67±3.27 mg/dl, 3 h after oral administration of the extract (P
