Arapaima gigas, populary known as pirarucu is largest freshwater fish in Amazon river, with great, economic and ecological, interest. Despite being an air breather its gill structure is quite close to water breathers, especially in early stages of development [1]. However, in animals above 100g the pillar cell system are embedded into the filament being the gill, an ion regulation active site. ...

Despite the promise of hematological parameters and blood chemistry in monitoring the health of marine fishes, baseline data is often lacking for small fishes that comprise central roles in marine food webs. This study establishes blood chemistry and hematological baseline parameters for the pinfish Lagodon rhomboides, a small marine teleost that is among the most dominant members of near-shore...

Conventionally, the juice and extract of Alangium salvifolium leaves have been used for the treatment of diabetes, wound healing, dog bite, and as a poultice in rheumatism. To carry out the sub-chronic toxicity and thereafter safety evaluation of A. salvifolium leaves. The aqueous extract of A. salvifolium leaves was administered orally at the doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg/day for 90 days. A...

Blood profiling is a helpful tool in detecting the health status, metabolic diseases, nutritional deficiencies, and welfare of animals. Body weights, body temperatures, hematological and serum biochemical parameters, enzymes, and electrolytes in both sexes of farm emus at the beginning of their breeding season (November in Canada), were determined. The reference interval for each analyte was al...

Medical professionals involved at intraoperative fluoroscopy are exposed to low doses of the occupational radiation exposures. The biological effects of chronic low-dose radiation on human health are complex and have not been well established. The aim of the present study is to follow up hematological parameter changes during 2 years in medical professionals exposed to ionization radiation in o...

Plasmodium falciparum malaria is the most common infection in Yemen. The present study aims to investigate changes in hematological and hepatic function indices of P. falciparum infected individuals. This study included 67 suspected falciparum malarial patients attended in clinics and rural Abs Hospital (Tehama, Hajjah), Yemen, from October 2013 to April 2014. The diagnosis of malaria was confi...

The protective effects of propolis on biochemical and hematological parameters were appraised in the blood of Oncorhynchus mykiss exposed to cypermethrin (CYP). The fish were subjected to three sublethal concentrations of CYP (0.0041, 0.0082 and 0.0123 ppm) and propolis (10 ppm) for 96 h. The samples were analysed to changes in the biochemical parameters, such as the metabolits: glucose, total ...
