Indomethacin (2 mg/100 g body weight), induces haemorrhagic gastric ulcers in albino rats. The incidence and severity of ulceration increased with starvation period. Indomethacin caused little or no effect on the cellular and the nuclear diameter of parietal and chief cells while reduction was observed in mucus and endocrine cells. The effect was enhanced with increased duration of starvation. ...

Four bed bug strains (Cimex lectularius) with different levels of pyrethroid resistance were evaluated to determine their ability to survive extended periods of starvation. First instar bed bugs of all strains were the most vulnerable to starvation (13.8-36.3 days mean survival time). Fifth instars and adults survived the longest during starvation (41.5-142.6 days). Significant differences in s...

1. The purpose of this study was to determine the nature of the metabolic changes associated with carbohydrate and fat metabolism that occurred in the blood and liver of lactating dairy cows during starvation for 6 days. 2. During starvation, the blood concentrations of the free fatty acids and ketone bodies increased, whereas that of citrate decreased. After an initial increase, the blood conc...
