The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary vitamin E on reproductive and productive parameters in Japanese quails. A total number of 240 female and 80 male Japanese quail were divided into five treatments with four replications in a completely randomized design.

Background: Oily fish and their extracted oils may be a source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) which can induce toxic effects on the consumers. The main aim of this survey was estimation of PCBs intake through fish oil-derived dietary supplements and prescription drugs in the Japanese population. Methods: PCBs levels were determined in 20 fish oil-derived dietary supplements and 6 oil-deri...

brachiocephalic arteries in quails are large arteries which are arising separately from the aortic arch. the aim of the present study was to determine the histomorphometric aspects of brachiocephalic arteries in the japanese quail. the different layers of the brachiocephalic artery were studied quantitatively in 10, 20 and 60 days-old japanese quail; (n = 6) and both sexes. luminal diameter, th...
