The maturation of male fish is a problematic aspect Clarias macrocephalus and probably one the causes population’s disappearance in usual places where they once abound. present study aimed to explore feed additives enhance its from puberty. Vitamin E (VE) essential reproduction animals, including fish. A growth trial was conducted which groups C. were fed experimental diets containing graded le...

The suitability of five maturity group (MG) III and five MG IV soybean, Glycine max, cultivars as hosts for Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria was evaluated in a greenhouse. 'Forrest', a MG V cultivar, was used as the standard of comparison for M. incognita resistance. With M. incognita, root-gall and egg-mass indices and reproductive factors for 'Asgrow 3307', 'FFR 398', and 'Pioneer 9442' ...

Water level monitoring is important for understanding the global hydrological cycle. Remotely-sensed indices that capture localized instantaneous responses have been extensively explored for water level reconstruction during the past two decades. However, the potential usage of the Palmer’s Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indices for water level reconstruct...

The vulnerability to trawling on a species level is determined by species' individual combination of biological traits that related the ecosystem functions. Trait-based indices physical resistance RI and reproductive potential RPI were developed combined into an overall index level, RRI or Resistance Reproductive Potential Index. are used explore how potentia change over gradient. allows for di...

The evolution of handedness in human populations has intrigued scientists for decades. However, whether handedness really affects Darwinian fitness is unclear and not yet studied in a non-industrial society where selection pressures on health and handedness are likely to be similar to the situation in which handedness has evolved. We measured both hand preference and asymmetry of hand skill (sp...

DOI: 10.5812/atr.7245 Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: The role of trauma in the modern society has a vital importance and significance role that resorting to any facilities and strategies to handle the dilemma seems worthful for all researchers in this s...

Some reproductive parameters of the Nigerian local bitches were studied at the kennel of the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Reproduction, University of Ibadan using 6 bitches and 1 stud aged between 2 and 3 years, weighing 10 to 12kg. The bitches were mated naturally by the stud at the second day of cytological oestrus and allowed to carry the pregnancy to term. The bitches and puppies we...

Background: Cadmium toxicity is an environmental health menace in developing countries, which can result damage to the male reproductive system. The mechanisms of cadmium include increase lipid peroxidation, depletion glutathione, reduction protein-bound sulfhydryl groups, and oxidative stress. Agnus castus has been differently reported for its strong antioxidant potential reproductive-enhancin...

background: phytoestrogens are some plant compounds with estrogenic biological effects which are found in many nutritional sources as soybean, flaxseed and sesame. vitex agnus-castus, also called vitex, owns phytoestrogenic properties. studies have showed that phytoestrogens have different impacts on the gestation process and reproduction indices. the present study is aimed at investigating the...

Over the past decades, particularly in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, oil and gas flared and/or oil-spilled microscopic pathogens are continually introduced into the environment and the immediate or short term impact on humans (as well as wildlife) can hardly be noticed except when damage has been done. This study therefore investigated the potentially dangerous adverse reproductive fertili...
