Male hamsters are very dependent on chemosensory cues for normal mating behavior. We have previously reported that central, vomeronasal pathways are intensely and selectively activated during mating or pheromonal stimulation. The contribution of main olfactory sensory input to the patterns of c-fos activation was investigated in this study. Sexually inexperienced male hamsters were either made ...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop a management proposal for biofortification oat crops with iron and zinc by foliar application validate the technology analyzing indicators yield industrial chemical quality grains. Method/design/approach: experiment carried out in Augusto Pestana, RS, 2020 2021. A randomized block experimental design four replications used, 3×5 factorial arran...

Objective: In this study, we evaluated zinc gluconate stabilized with glycine (GZ) and sulfate (SZ) in fermented milk as vehicle. Zinc bioavailability was evaluated in an animal model (Sprague Dawley rats) for both zinc sources in the vehicle with a probiotic (Lactobacillus casei DN114001). Results: For growth parameters, higher weight gain and femur weight values were observed when probiotic a...

To investigate the physiological responses of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., Alstar hybrid) to water stress under different levels of zinc fertilizer, an experiment was conducted at the Isfahan Agricultural Research Center, Isfahan, Iran, during 2008 and 2009 using a randomized complete block design within a split plot layout with three replications. Five irrigation treatments used in thi...

Sir: While writing my article for this journal titled ‘‘Zinc lozenges as cure for the common cold – a review and hypothesis” [1], I reflected upon the long 25-year history of zinc in treating colds, and also remembered that the history of use of zinc to treat croup in infants and young children was much longer. The first published use that I found for treating croup with zinc was in 1899; yes, ...

The present investigation was carried out entitled Effect of integrated nutrient managment on the growth, yield and quality in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) at Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during Kharif-2021-22 with a view to determine effect management growth,yield variety TMTH-22...

an experiment was conducted to optimize consumption of zinc and evaluate of zinc effects on quantitative and qualitative traits of winter wheat under saline soil condition. it was done by three replications in randomized complete block design. the experiment had four treatments as control without zn, 40 kg.ha-1 zn as znso4, 80 kg.ha-1 zn as znso4 in soil and 120 kg.ha-1 zn as znso4 in soil. ele...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic illness causing considerable morbidity and mortality. Enormous advances have been made in medical care but more people are still having tendency to use herbal or alternative remedies. This study is a randomized, controlled trial on type 2 diabetic patients. The subject consisted of 60 patients divided randomly into three groups and supple-mented daily with ...

background: since heavy metals can accumulate in the tissues of aquatic organisms, they can cause a range of hazardous effects which can become harmful to humans. the aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of some heavy metals as potential dangerous substances by assessing the mortality effects of mercuric chloride (hgcl2), lead chloride (pbcl2) and zinc sulfate (znso4) pollutan...

Background: The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the male reproductive tract has become an actual concern because of their probable noxious effects, at high levels, on physical properties of sperm quality. ROS are extremely reactive oxidizing agents, which a member of the class of free radicals. It was found that uric acid can act as an essential water soluble antioxidant and ther...
