Objectives: The aim of study was to investigate the relationship between aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and brain edema following status epilepticus (SE) via observing the changes of AQP4 expression in brain edema formation following SE in the developing rats, We also observed the effects of Monosialote-trahexosylganglioside (GM1) on the expression of AQP4 and brain edema following SE, contributing to lear...

the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of vitamin e and selenium (se) supplementation on the performance, egg quality and hatchability of eggs from japanese breeding quails. the experiment was conducted over a 60 day period using 135 quails in a completely randomized design (crd) with two levels of vitamin e and two levels of selenium (80 mg/kg of vitamin e+0.2 mg/kg organi...

background : selenium-73 (t 1/2 =7.1h) and selenium-75 (t 1/2 =119.8d) are useful radioisotopes in many research fields. the wide ranges of applications of these radioisotopes arose great interest for their production. simultaneous production of 73 se and 75 se is more cost-effective and less time-consuming. materials and methods : 73 as (p, 3n) 73 se and 75 as (p,n) 75 se reactions were determ...

selenium (se) is considered as an essential element for human body. selenized probiotic fermented milk drink (doogh) as a functional beverage to increase se available in body. the predominate sugar, protein and mineral ion of iranian yoghurt drink (doogh) are lactose, casein and calcium, respectively. different levels of  selenium (2.5 – 3- 3,5-  4 and 4.5) is prepared and its suitability based...

Se bioavailability in commercial pet foods has been shown to be highly variable. The aim of the present study was to identify dietary factors associated with in vitro accessibility of Se (Se Aiv) in pet foods. Se Aiv is defined as the percentage of Se from the diet that is potentially available for absorption after in vitro digestion. Sixty-two diets (dog, n 52; cat, n 10) were in vitro enzymat...

Energy expenditure was estimated using the doubly-labelled water (DLW) method in summer in five free-living adult, non-pregnant, non-lactating, red deer (Cervus elaphus) hinds (weight 107.3 (SE 0.9) kg; age 6 (SE 1) years) on lowland pasture under typical farming conditions. Climatic conditions were monitored throughout the experiment. Errors due to 2H losses in CH4 and faeces were calculated f...

Background: The aim of present study was to estimate the levels of some minerals ( Zn, Se , Ca , Mg , Na and K ).Also relationships between mentioned components and some sperm parameters and the infertility period were studied as well. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on human semen specimens obtained from Asthenospermic patients (101 specimens) and Normospermic males (61 specime...

• Certain plant species hyperaccumulate selenium (Se) to 1000 mg kg − 1 d. wt, even from low-Se soils. It is not known whether Se hyperaccumulation offers these plants any advantage. In this study the hypothesis was tested that Se can protect plants from phloem-feeding herbivores. • Indian mustard ( Brassica juncea ) grown with or without Se was subjected to colonization by green peach aphids (...
