The effects of five different foods including: blood worm, artemia cyst, Artemia mass powder, gammarus mass powder and ordinary commercial food were studied on Siamese fighting fish (Bettasplendens) propagation efficiency during thirty days in a Randomize Totally Design with 4 repeats .Experimental plots had been consisted of twenty 30*30*40 (cm) aquarium which a pair of male and female brood s...

The immune responses of mice immunized with ovalbumin (OVA) together with killed L. major (KLM) promastigotes as adjuvant were studied. Three doses (5 × 107, 1 × 108 and 2 × 108) of KLM combined with OVA (100 mg) were injected into the groups of C57BL/6 mice. BCG and complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) were used as control adjuvants. Lymphocyte proliferation and antibody titers were determined, an...

Feeding rumen bypass polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) affects to Japanese Black cows affects their reproduction, though its influence on superovulatory response in donor cows and conception in recipient cattle has not been well studied. Here, we investigated the effects of feeding PUFA to Japanese Black cows on blood biochemistry, the numbers of ova and embryos or transferable embryos and pre...

Mature medaka (Oryzias latipes) were exposed to ethinylestradiol (EE2) at measured concentrations of 32.6, 63.9, 116, 261, and 488 ng/L for 21 d under flow-through conditions. Effects on reproductive success of the fish as well as on gonadal condition and vitellogenin (VTG) induction were assessed. A significant decrease in fecundity was observed only at the highest EE2 concentration, whereas h...

Two zooxanthellate, scleractinian species present in the equatorial eastern Pacific, Psammocora stellata and Psammocora profundacella, were examined in terms of their reproductive biology and ecology at four study sites, non-upwelling (Caño Island, Costa Rica, and Uva Island, Panamá), upwelling (Gulf of Panamá, Panamá), and seasonally varying thermal environments (Galápagos Islands). Both speci...

During 12 months of sampling, from 17 stations, 327 specimens of Soboor fish Tenualosa ilisha, including 120 females, 113 males and 86 immature were caught. Total length (TL) of the fishes was 120-500mm. Maximum diameters of soboor ova 0.795mm and the ova with diameter more than 0.7 mm released at one spawning round. Temporal and spatial distribution of ova diameter corresponding to GSI changes...

the immune responses of mice immunized with ovalbumin (ova) together with killed l. major (klm) promastigotes as adjuvant were studied. three doses (5 × 107, 1 × 108 and 2 × 108) of klm combined with ova (100 mg) were injected into the groups of c57bl/6 mice. bcg and complete freund’s adjuvant (cfa) were used as control adjuvants. lymphocyte proliferation and antibody titers were determined, an...

Objective(s): Tanshinone IIA (T. IIA), one of the most pharmacologically active components extracted from Salviae miltiorrhiza, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant features. The aim of the present study is to investigate the benefit of T. IIA on asthma using a murine model of asthma induced by ovalbumin (OVA). Materials and Methods: Male BALB/c mice were used in the present study. The mice we...
