Material and Methods. Total of 48 female Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Control group was given saline daily, intra-muscularly, and the other three groups MPA in doses of 7.5, 15.0 and 75.0 mg/kg bw during 30 days. Paraffin sections from adrenal glands were stained according the following methods: hematoxylin-eosin, Azan modified by Heidenhein, Van-Gieson, Kossa-Goldner, Masson and ...

Transition from sow's milk to solid feed is associated with intestinal atrophy and diarrhea. We hypothesized that the intestinotrophic hormone glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) would induce a dose- and health status-dependent effect on gut adaptation. In Exp. 1, weaned pigs (average BW at weaning 4.98 ± 0.18 kg) were kept in a high-sanitary environment and injected with saline or short-acting GLP...

Material and Methods: A total of 24 female Wistar rats were divided into two groups. The control group received saline, and the second group was administered medroxyprogesterone acetate in the therapeutic dose of 30 mg/kg bw. The substances were applied daily, intramuscularly for a period of 7 days. Paraffin sections of thymus were dyed with the following methods: hematoxylin eosin and elastica...

To evaluate treatments purportedly beneficial for livestock grazing locoweeds (LW), growing rats were fed diets containing 10 or 20% whole-plant Oxytropis sericea (LW) with and without Silent Herder mineral mix (1.5% of diet) or bentonite clay (1.5% of diet). Pregnant female rats fed 10% LW were treated i.m. with Banamine (a prostaglandins suppressor) or saline. The LW contained swainsonine (43...

Gynura procumbens is a plant that contains flavonoid compounds as antioxidants and has hepatoprotective effect. A hepatoprotector compound can protect the liver from damage. One way to determine function measure enzyme activity of Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) Pyruvic (SGPT). This study aimed effect extract ethanol on induced by paracetamol toxic dose. used 20 white male rats d...

objective(s):gingivitis is an inflammatory disease that affects tooth-supporting tissues and is caused by a microbe-immune response. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on immune system regulation and the prevention and treatment of gingivitis using an animal model. materials and methods: gingival inflammation was induced by lipopolysaccharide (lps) injectio...

Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been proposed to be an endogenous neuromodulator of the baroreceptor reflex at the level of the brain stem solitary-vagal area. Elevated activity of the brain Ang II system has been implicated in the development and maintenance of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats and deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt hypertensive rats. In the present study, we sought to...
