This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of zinc sulfate and chromium picolinate on performance, body temperature, carcass characteristics, tibia ash and serum biochemical parameters of Japanese quails under heat stress condition. The birds (n = 540; 7-d-old) were randomly assigned to 9 treatment groups consisting of 3 replicates of 20 birds each in a 3 × 3 factor...

to evaluate the effects of physically processed flaxseed [ground flaxseed (gfs) and whole flaxseed(wfs)] as a replacement for extruded soybeans on feed intake, milk production, milk composition, milk fatty acid (fa) composition and blood biochemical parameters, nine primiparus holstein dairy lactating cowsaveraging 495 ± 34.5 kg of body weight (bw) and 70 ± 5 days in milk (dim) were assigned in...

Enicostemma axillare is used in Indian traditional medicine as a liver tonic. Its ethyl acetate extract has shown potent in vitro antioxidant activity and found to contain 7.26% of a bitter secoiridoid glycoside, swertiamarin. Hence, in the present study the ethyl acetate extract was screened for hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties against CCl4 induced hepatic injury in rats. The hepato...

INTRODUCTION Among the inflammatory mediators involved in the pathogenesis of obesity, the cell adhesion molecules P-selectin, E-selectin, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and the chemokine MCP-1 stand out. They play a crucial role in adherence of cells to endothelial surfaces, in the integrity of the vascular wall and can be modulated by body composition and dietary pattern. OBJETIVES To describe and discuss ...

The most common cause for menstrual abnormality and virilization in children and adolescents would be congenital adrenal hyperplasia. An elevated 17(OH) progesterone is invariably seen in this condition. Aromatase deficiency can also lead to a similar presentation but differs in several aspects. The age of onset of the clinical manifestations, the phenotype, biochemical abnormalities and karyot...

Hibernators are unique among mammals in their ability to attain, withstand, and reverse low body temperatures. Hibernators repeatedly cycle between body temperatures near zero during torpor and 37 degrees C during euthermy. How do these mammals maintain cardiac function, cell integrity, blood fluidity, and energetic balance during their prolonged periods at low body temperature and avoid damage...

van Breukelen, Frank, and Sandra L. Martin. Invited Review: Molecular adaptations in mammalian hibernators: unique adaptations or generalized responses? J Appl Physiol 92: 2640–2647, 2002; 10.1152/ japplphysiol.01007.2001.—Hibernators are unique among mammals in their ability to attain, withstand, and reverse low body temperatures. Hibernators repeatedly cycle between body temperatures near zer...

The importance of ascorbic acid for the metabolism of connective tissue substances, especially collagen, has been established by numerous investigators, using morphologic criteria (1). However, there have been few biochemical studies of this function of ascorbic acid with the exception of the recent analyses of Elster (2) and Robertson (3), which demonstrated that the maintenance of preformed c...
