In this study, we investigate the immunostimulatory effects of alcoholic extract of the coffee seed on cell-mediated immune response andcyclophosphamide-induced (CP) immunosuppressed mice. The assessment of cellular immune function was carried out by the measurement of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response. According to the literature survey, cyclophosphamide has only suppressing effect ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the heamato-biochemical, relative organ weight and bacteria count of broiler chicken given different levels of Luffa aegyptiaca leaf extract (LUF). A total of 250 day old Ross 308 broiler chicks of mixed sex were divided into five treatments, each group was further divided into five replicates each of ten (10) birds in a completely randomized design. ...

The Society of Toxicologic Pathology convened a working group to evaluate current practices regarding organ weights in toxicology studies. A survey was distributed to pharmaceutical, veterinary, chemical, food/nutritional and consumer product companies in Europe, North America, and Japan. Responses were compiled to identify organs routinely weighed for various study types in rodent and non-rode...

studies have demonstrated that plant extracts possess various biological characteristics, including immunomodulatory activity. heracleum persicum desf. (apiaceae), a medicinal plant native to iran, was studied for its immunomodulatory activity. immunomodulatory activity of different doses of an aqueous extract of h. persicum, was evaluated in female swiss albino mice. mice were treated with thr...

Studies comparing relative organ weight (per gram of body weight) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and their normotensive controls, Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), have shown that the heart and kidney of SHR are enlarged at birth. In addition, higher DNA concentrations in these organs provide evidence of cardiac and renal cellular hyperplasia in newborn SHR. The rate of DNA synthesis was estim...

We studied the effects of weight loss and non-weight-bearing exercise (swimming) on blood and organ lead and essential metal concentrations in rats with prior lead exposure. Nine-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 37) received lead acetate in their drinking water for 2 weeks, followed by a 4-day latency period without lead exposure. Rats were then randomly assigned to one of six treatment...
