Introduction: Hydatid cyst is among parasitic diseases common between man and domestic animals, as well as domestic and non domestic carnivorous animals. This disease causes organ damage and injuries in human, and sometimes leads to death. This study aims at assessment of secondary hydatid cyst growth in laboratory animals and determination of their sensitivity. Materials and Methods: The Pr...

introduction: in this study we examined the effect of ampullary and isthmic epithelial cell of golden hamster oviduct on n-mary mouse embryo development during 4-days in vitro co - culture, and the effect of injected gonadotropins on the quality of co-culture. materials and methods: golden hamster oviducts were isolated 18-24h after treating the hamster with hcg. they were flushed with dmem / h...

ABSTRACT Hamster breeding is becoming increasingly popular, mainly because of the simplicity breeding, low cost, and characteristics these animals: they are small, quiet, do not require a large space. Because this ease keeping, some people choose to keep more than one animal same species in single enclosure. In cases, sociability can lead fights, hamsters extremely territorial animals, which ca...

Objective(s): Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) with more potent immunomodulatory effects, greater proliferative potential and secretion of growth factors and cytokines in comparison with bone marrow derived MSCs are more appropriate for cell therapy. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the histomorphometric effect of AT-MSCs allotransplantation on regeneration ...

the objective of this study was to investigate fungal flora of the hair coat of domestic golden hamsterswith and without skin lesions. sixty hamsters were examined in the small animal teaching hospitalof the faculty of veterinary medicine, ferdowsi university of mashhad, and mashhad, iran. asteriletoothbrush was used for sample collection, from the entire body of the hamsters, all skin lesions ...

Idiopathic cardiomyopathy in hamsters can cause death due to cardiac failure. The current case study investigated the capability of imaging reveal possible a dead hamster. To this end, cadaver 6-month-old male Roborovski dwarf hamster, which showed acute respiratory symptoms few days before its death, was examined by virtopsy discover death. Postmortem radiography not efficient enough evaluate ...

The conversion of isopentenyl pyrophosphate to phytoene in Neurospora crassa requires both a soluble and a particulate fraction. Soluble and particulate enzyme fractions obtained from light-treated and dark-grown wild type, albino-1, albino-2, albino-3, and white collar-1 strains were mixed in various combinations, and the activity for conversion of [1-(14)C]isopentenyl pyrophosphate to phytoen...

Previous comparative studies of green, albino, and variegated plants have shown higher levels of soluble nitrogenous compounds and lower levels of protein nitrogen in albino or in variegated than in green tissues (6, 14). The soluble nitrogen level was reduced and the protein level was increased when carbohydrates were supplied to albino tissues and plants. Groner (6), on the basis of such find...

Behavioral measurements on the water maze show night blindness in albino mice but cortical recordings show no difference between pigmented and congenic albino mice. Consequently we have measured the absolute threshold in albino and pigmented mice using an operant method. The estimated threshold value is -5.3 log cd/m2 for albino mice and -5.5 log cd/m2 for the pigmented mice. We conclude that t...
