high concentration of heavy metals or long time exposure to low concentrations of these metals can usually decrease the hematological indices in fish. therefore the aim of this study was to indicate changes in hematology and serum chemistry of common carp (cyprinus carpio) after low cadmium concentration exposure. 60 apparently healthy common carp (mean weight of 700g) divided in two groups and...

In order to observe the effects of whey protein powder on hematological indexes of players majoring in physical education in the basketball training, the authors divided the players randomly into a control group and a nutrition group. Athletes complete the 30 minutes quantitative exercise using cycle ergometer respectively before the trial and after one month trial. Then we exsanguinated immedi...

Problem Statement. Thyroid disorders are prevalent in western Kenya, but the effects of disorders on thyroid hormones and hematological indices levels have not been documented. Study Population. Patients treated for thyroid disorders at the MTRH between January 2008 and December 2011. Objectives. To determine the thyroid hormones and hematological indices levels in thyroid disorders patients at...

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is related with cardiovascular risk factors. Non-dipping blood pressure pattern and high mean platelet volume, which is an indicator of increased platelet activation, are associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study is to determine circadian variation of blood pressure and to study the impact of hematological indices...

BACKGROUND Chronic opioid treatment in animal models has shown to alter hematological parameters. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological effects of opium on the number of peripheral blood cells and red blood cells (RBCs) indices in diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Peripheral blood samples were collected from diabetic, opium-addicted, diabetic opium-addicted and ...

Laboratory investigations often require centrifugation of blood samples for various erythrocyte tests. Although there is a lack of data about the effect of centrifugation at various g force levels on erythrocyte rheological properties. We aimed to investigate the effect of a 10-minute centrifugation at 500, 1000 or 1500 g at 15°C of rat, dog, pig and human venous (K3-EDTA, 1.5 mg/ml) blood samp...

the aim of this study was to examine the adverse effects of zinc nanoparticles on hematological indices of trout and investigate the improvement of these indices after vitamin c treatments. this study assesses the protective role of vitamin c in fish exposed to zno nps. two concentrations of zno-nps (40 and 80 mg l-1) and two doses of vitamin c (400 and 800 mg per kg of feed) were used to treat...

The effects of long-term administration of very large doses of Sn-protoporphyrin on hematological indices, histological changes, plasma bilirubin levels, tissue heme oxygenase activity, and activities of heme biosynthetic enzymes, were examined in genetically anemic mutant mice with hemolytic anemia (sphha/sphha). Long-term weekly treatment with Sn-protoporphyrin (100 mumol/kg body weight for 3...

OBJECTIVE The influence of hematological indices such as complete blood count on microcirculation is poorly understood. Retinal microvasculature can be directly visualized and vessel calibers are associated with a range of ocular and systemic diseases. We examined the association of complete blood count with retinal vessel calibers. METHODS Cross-sectional population-based Blue Mountains Eye ...
