This work studied the antioxidant activity of extract of germinated pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Germination was carried out in a dark chamber under room temperature (28°C). The total phenolic, 1,1,diphenyl-2-picrylhy-drazyl free radical (DPPH) scavenging, the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase were done in vitro and blood glucose levels of the animal were...

A study on a population of pigeons on the University of South Africa's Muckleneuk campus was conducted over 2 years. Counts were conducted during a baseline year (March 2013-February 2014) to establish the pigeon population index inhabiting the campus buildings, and again in the management year (August 2014-August 2015) once Eagle Eyes™, Fire (Flash) Flags, bird spikes and a combination thereof...

This review describes theories of human atherogenesis and experimental results evaluating gene or protein expression in the pigeon model for spontaneous atherosclerosis. The spontane‐ ous disease in the pigeon differentiates from other animal models that require manipulation (genetic, nutritional, environmental) to induce the disease state. Both susceptible and resistant pigeons have been studi...

Walter, Jinks E. (University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa.), and Robert W. Atchison. Epidemiological and immunological studies of Cryptococcus neoformans. J. Bacteriol. 92:82-87. 1966.-The complement-fixation fluorescent-antibody test provided a means of differentiating between antibodies of Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans. The test was applied to the sera of 134 pigeon fanciers f...

background and objectives: diagnosis of avian tuberculosis by conventional culture method is still considered as the “gold standard” technique. the main objective of this study was to compare growth of mycobacterium avium subsp. avium on four specific mycobacterial cultures such as glycerinated lowenstein-jensen medium, pyruvate-enriched lowenstein- jensen medium, mycobactin j-supplemented herr...

Haken proved that every resolution refutation of the pigeon hole formula has at least exponential size. Groote and Zantema proved that a particular OBDD computation of the pigeon hole formula has an exponential size. Here we show that any arbitrary OBDD refutation of the pigeon hole formula has an exponential size, too: we prove that the size of one of the intermediate OBDDs is at least Ω(1.025).

In the domestic hen phenylacetic acid is excreted conjugated mainly with ornithine (Totani, 1910), but in the pigeon it is excreted conjugated with taurine and glycine (James et al., 1972). This difference between the hen and pigeon has now been further investigated with several arylacetic acids. The compounds used were 14C-carboxy-labelled phenylacetic acid, 4-chloroand 4-nitrophenylacetic aci...

three adult pigeons (columbia livia) belonging to a pigeon farm in mashhad area were submitted topoultry clinic of school of veterinary medicine for post-mortem inspection. the farm had 150 adult pigeonsand a number of them suffered from a chronic disease with body weight loss, diarrhoea and weakness. atnecropsy, slight to extreme enlargement with distortion were observed in gizzards of all car...
