Platelet activation in response to dual stimulation with collagen and thrombin results in the formation of a subpopulation of activated platelets known as coated platelets. Coated platelets are characterized by high surface levels of -granule proteins and phosphatidylserine, which support the assembly of procoagulant protein complexes. Using murine models, we tested the hypothesis that the coll...

Laying records on 1,534 F2 hens, derived from a reciprocal cross between White Leghorns and Dongxiang blue-shelled chickens, were used to estimate genetic parameters for residual feed intake (RFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), daily feed intake (FI), metabolic BW (MBW), BW gain (BWG), and daily egg mass (EM) at 37 to 40 (T1) and 57 to 60 wk age (T2), respectively. Genetic analysis was subsequen...

The purpose of the study was to determine combined efficacy feed additives on growing pigs, performance and digestive tract parameters. experiment conducted for 28 days with 48 male piglets allocated six dietary treatments. Group 1 offered a diet without eubiotic; 2 – acids mixture; 3 phytobiotic, medium-chain fatty (MCFA) yeast; 4 probiotic, MCFA, 5 mixture, sodium butyrate; 6 butyrate. averag...

Monthly samples of six fish farms from January 2010 to December 2010 in the northern Iran, Haraz River, were used to determine relationship between chemical parameters of main water, inlet and outlet and their effects on fish growth and production. Results revealed that concentration of nutrients in outlet was more than that of inlet of farms and statistical analysis showed that there were sig...

The phenotypical and functional properties of circulating neutrophils from ten patients suffering from intermediate- and high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma were investigated before and after rhG-CSF administration (5 micrograms/kg/day subcutaneously for 5 days). The following parameters were studied: flow cytometry evaluation of surface CD32, CD16, CD11b and CD18 by means of a whole blood method; ...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of phytase superdoses alone or in combination with citric acid (ca) in canola meal-based diets severely limited in available phosphorus (pa) on growth performance, plasma phosphorus (p), and tibia ash (ta) in broilers from 22 to 42 d of age. two hundreds and eighty 21-d-old male broilers were used in 28 pens of 10 birds per each. the exper...

the aim of the present study was to determine the appropriate standardized ileal digestible lysine requirement to 49 day of olds in male but,6 turkey poults. experiment 1 and 2 were used  from 8-28 and 28-49 d-old respectively. one hundred sixty male but,6 turkeys in each experiment were used in a completely randomized design with eight treatments (8 levels of standardized ileal digestible lysi...
