a 90 day study was conducted on twenty four indigenous non-descript goats allocated into four groups. they were fed ad libitum basal complete feed constituted rice straw: rhea (60:40) grass hay and concentrate mixture @ 250/animal/day. basal complete feed contain 11.07% dcp and 54.21% tdn. groups were control (t0) basal diet without polyherbal supplementation, treatment 1 (t1) diet with ruchama...

Elevated glucagon is associated with fasting hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes. We assessed the effects of the glucagon receptor antagonist (2R)-N-[4-({4-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl)[(3,5-dichloroanilino)carbonyl]anilino}methyl)benzoyl]-2-hydroxy-b-alanine (NNC 25-0926) on hepatic glucose production (HPG) in vivo, using arteriovenous difference and tracer techniques in conscious dogs. The experiments con...

Monoclonal antibodies that block immune regulatory proteins such as programmed death-1 (PD-1) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in controlling the growth of multiple tumor types. Unresectable or metastatic basal cell carcinoma, however, has largely gone untested. Because PD-Ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression in other tumor types has been associated with response to anti-PD-1, we investigated the e...

Weekend treatment with 20 mg omeprazole reduces ulcer relapse rates but the results may improve with a higher dose regimen. We have evaluated three day weekend treatment with 20 and 40 mg doses of omeprazole in eight healthy subjects in a double blind crossover study. Twenty four hour ambulatory intragastric pH and basal and meal stimulated serum gastrin and serum pepsinogens A and C values wer...

Introduction: Recently, hydrogen sulfide has been introduced as the third gas that acts as a transmitter. It has many physiological and pharmacological roles in the human body. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of exogenously administered and endogenously produced H2S on the basal and distention-induced gastric acid secretion in rats. Methods: Forty-nine male Wistar...

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) infects many plant species, being the only potyvirus able to infect brassicas. TuMV isolates have been classified into 12 pathotypes according symptoms induced in lines of Brassica napus, and molecularly clustered six lineages (basal-B, basal-BR, Asian-BR, world-B, Iranian OMs). Despite considered one most important viruses infecting brassicas worldwide, there is litt...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of zinc on the performance and humoral immunity response in broiler chickens with 250 ross broiler chickens with five experimental treatments consisted of five replicates in a completely randomized design. treatments were diets containing: basal diet (control) and basal diet plus 40, 80, 120 and 160 mg zn/kg. results of t...

In the present study, thirty-five Nellore bulls were used to determine the effects of two levels and two sources (organic and inorganic) of Cu supplementation on the oxidative stability of lipids, measured by the thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) test, meat colour and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) enzyme activities. The following treatments were use...
