in this study the optimal amount of enriching artemia franciscana with a synbiotic combination of pediococcus acidilactici and fructooligosaccharide (fos( was investigated. the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in ten treatments: multi-level probiotics p. acidilactici (1×109, 1×108 and 1× 107 cfu per l) and multi-level enriched prebiotic fos (1, 2 and 5) g per l of solu...

Introduction: Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation is the main cause of acute kidney damage. Nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis and oxidative stress are closely related to the pathogenesis of renal I/R injury. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of L-arginine (L-arg) as NO donor and aerobic exercise (EX) and also the combination of L-...

In this study the effects of salinity on the electrocardiogram and some of blood serum minerals in grass carp were investigated.
