Kanamycin, penicillin, and streptomycin were injected individually into air cells of newly set chicken and turkey hatching eggs, and assay was made throughout the incubation period to determine the location, potency, and duration of efficacy. By 24 hours, each antibiotic had diffused throughout the albumen. By six days, penicillin residues could not be detected, whereas kanamycin or streptomyci...

The extraembryonic membranes [5] that surround and originate from the embryos of vertebrates such as birds [6], reptiles, and mammals are crucial to their development. They are integral to increasing the surface area of the uterus [7], forming the chorion [8] (which in turn produces the placenta [9]) and the amnion [10], respectively. The amnion [10] will ultimately surround the embryo in a flu...

background: cadmium is an extremely toxic metal with ubiquitous environmental distribution. cadmium is a potent reproductive and developmental toxic agent, and intensive environmental exposure to this substance has been reported among the residents of tehran. in this study, we investigated the correlation between amniotic fluid cadmium levels and the risk of preeclampsia, prematurity and low bi...

In all phases of life, from conception to death, the human organism is using its body, in the same sense that F.M. Alexander considered the use in the post-natal period. When the human embryo is about eight weeks old, it has all its major organs and it is moving slowly inside the amniotic fluid. During these early weeks, it is remarkable how the embryo is using its self at each stage to create ...

Foetal fluids are important in preventing mechanical shock to the developing foetus during entire gestation. Amniotic and allantoic fluids are actively involved in constant exchange of biochemical substance between foetus and maternal circulation. Hence the knowledge regarding changes in the composition of the foetal fluid is important for understanding foetal metabolism and diagnosis of pathol...

objective: the objective of this study was to investigate the pathological alterations of methionine for chicken embryo.in recent years, amino acids are used in veterinary medicine for many purposes. they injected into hatching eggs to increase chick body weight and performance at hatch, but the adverse effects of amino acids have always been a major concern. there is scant information availabl...

These results show that primary chick embryo cells in culture release a particle bound RNA dependent DNA polymerase into the culture fluid. The enzyme is also found in the allantoic fluid of embryonated chicken eggs. This phenomenon is not restricted to the chicken system because primary quail embryo cells which are not known to express the so far known endogenous viruses release a particle bou...

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...

Rat liver cells in vitro were transformed with chicken sarcoma virus B77, giving RL(B77) cells, and with murine sarcoma virus (Harvey), giving RL(MSV) cells. Rat liver cells transformed spontaneously in vitro were designated RL cells. In addition, the RL(MSV) cell line was adapted for growth in culture fluid containing 25 mug of 5-bromodeoxyuridine per ml. All cell lines were tumorigenic in 1-w...
