background: active immunization with gonadotropin releasing hormone conjugate (gnrh-bsa) manipulates the fertility axis and thus alters the reproductive cyclicity serum estradiol and progesterone levels. while the application of kamdhenu ark increases the efficacy of gnrh-bsa. objective: this experimental investigation is aimed to evaluate the modulatory effects on estrous cycle serum estradiol...

the supercapacitive behavior of polyaniline/mno2-carbon black (pani/mno2-cb), mno2-cb nanocompositesand cb was studied. mno2-cb made by the in situ direct coating method to deposit mno2 onto cb; then pani coating was coated on it. morphology of the nanocomposite was studied by x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the el...

humans suffer transient or persistent starvation due to a lack of food intake, either because of fasting, voluntary dieting, or due to the scarcity of available food. at the cellular level it is possible to possess pathological starvation during ischemia and solid tumors. blood provides many nutrients to our cells, and researchers provide these nutrients to cells in culture in the form of enric...

in this paper, we investigate a problem of finding natural condition to assure the product of two graphs to be hamilton-connected. we present some sufficient and necessary conditions for $gbox h$ being hamilton-connected when $g$ is a hamilton-connected graph and $h$ is a tree or $g$ is a hamiltonian graph and $h$ is $k_2$.

conclusions the most comfortable postoperative women were those in luteal phase without history of pms group. results patients with pms presented higher pain sensation and analgesia request (p = 0.003). patients in luteal phase showed less pain and analgesia request in two out of five studied outcomes (p = 0.075). patients and methods a total of 140 women in in postoperative period were assigne...

plants are naturally exposed to frequent changes in environmental conditions such as salt stress affecting their growth and development, and consequently a considerable reduction in total productivity. monodehydroascorbate reductase (mdhar), a key enzyme in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, serves as an important antioxidative enzyme in scavenging of reactive oxygen spices (ros). in this study, mdha...

escalating development of tourism and petroleum industries in small islands such as lavan-iranrequires sound solid waste management. in the present investigation, three scenarios which consist of thecombination of landfill, recycling, incineration and composting and their environmental impacts have beenevaluated for 7514 kg/day of waste generation in lavan island. for this purpose, life cycle a...

the present study was designed to investigate the impact of exogenous administration of gnrh (receptal vet®, intervet pharmaceuticals ltd., india) on serum progesterone profile and conception rates during mid luteal phase of estrous cycle in buffaloes. estrus was induced using cyclix 2 ml. i/m. (intervet india pvt. ltd., india) and animals were bred naturally during observed estrus. the buffalo...

mancozeb, a fungicide of a manganese-zinc ethylenebisdithio-carbamate (ebdc), was administered by gavage at doses of 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg/kg/day to female virgin mice for 30 days. the mice were autopsied on 31st day. mice were also treated with similar doses for a period of 30 days and the treatment was withdrawn for a further period of 30 days for reversible study. the mice were autopsied ...

melanocortin- 4 receptor (mc4r) and agouti- related peptide (agrp) are involved in energy homeostasis in rats. according to mc4r and agrp effects on luteinizing hormone (lh) secretion, they may influence the estrous cycle of rats. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of mc4r and agrp mrnas at different stages of estrous cycle in the rat’s hypothalamus. the estrous ...
