The minimum dose of thiopentone required to induce anaesthesia was determined by giving thiopentone incrementally until verbal counting and eyelash reflexes were abolished. Males required 2.75 mg/kg (±0.11 SE) and females 2.16 mg/kg ( + 0.10 SE) to abolish verbal counting. Thiopentone requirement correlated positively with haemoglobin concentration (P<0.001) but not with plasma albumin, Ol glob...

In a recent paper (8) I showed that in the sera of leprosy patients the diffusible calcium level is well within the generallyaccepted range of normal variation, regardless of the degree of advancement of the disease or the presence of lepra reaction. On the other hand, it was found that in the lepra reaction cases the values of the other constituents were abnormal. Out of 12 such cases examined...

Abstract: Background Visceral fat is a more accurate predictor of metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk than body alone. Although the liver function associated with waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in studies, this correlation not well established young central obese individuals. In study, we examined between parameters obesity subjects. Methods Subjects among student staff community 18 40 years we...

AIM To investigate the effect of oral administration of camel milk on liver enzymes, total proteins and histology of poloxamer 407 induced hyperlipidaemic wistar rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty male wistar rats weighing between 150-200 g were randomly assigned into six groups of five each; group I: administered distilled water, group II: induced with P407, group III: induced with P407 and t...

Polychlorinated biphenyls exposure damages the rat liver cells. Hematological parameters such as hemoglobin, packed cell volume, red-blood cells, white-blood cells, neutrophils, platelet counts, and RBC indices were significantly decreased. Polymorphs, eosinophil counts, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were significantly increased. Serum liver enzymes such as aspartate transaminase, alanine ...

As part of ongoing studies on the blood profiles of the Nigerian avian species, haematological and plasma biochemical parameters were determined in the Nigerian laughing dove (Streptopelia senegalensis). There were no significant sex differences in all the parameters studied. However, when the values that were observed in the Nigerian laughing dove were compared with those of the Nigerian duck ...
