IN an earlier publication (Deuchar & Dryland, 1964) it was reported that a-methyl-norvaline, an amino acid described by Ross et al. (1961), whose structure resembles that of both valine and leucine (see below), caused a visible reduction in the quantity of haemoglobin formed by explants of the area vasculosa of the 48-hr, chick embryo, as compared with controls explanted without the analogue pr...

background: the purpose of the study was to compare clinical pregnancy and delivery rates with fresh and frozen embryo transfer in patients admitted to shiraz- human assisted reproductive center with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). methods: ohss patients randomly divided in two groups, group a (n=50) with fresh embryo transfer and group b (n=50) with frozen embryo transfer. we used vi...

many investigators are interested in finding the new cultural systems that can support the in vitro development of pre-implantation embryos better. previous studies suggested that growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (egf) are important in pre-implantation embryo development and implantation process. on the other hand, it is very important to support post thaw development of frozen em...

nitroimidazole compounds have been traditionally used in the veterinary and human medicine, but their uses are sometimes associated with some side effects. toxicopathological effects of nitroimidazoles have always been a major concern. there is scant information available about the pathological alterations of nitroimidazole compounds in the embryo. the objective of this study was to determine t...

infectious agents cause disease in virtually any susceptible hosts. in the poultry production and medicine, pathogens were eliminated from a line of a breeder by injection of antibiotics into hatching eggs. there is little information available describing the safety of the folate antimetabolite/sulfonamide class of antibiotics on the game birds embryonated eggs. the objective of this study was ...
