This investigation aimed to assess genetics of body conformation and feed efficiency traits in a control line of Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicken taking single hatched out pedigreed 100 chicks at Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar, India. Data was analyzed by least squares analysis of variance. Least squares means of chick weight (CW), body weight (BW), shank length (SL), keel length (KL...

OBJECTIVES Bradykinin is a part of the kinin-kallikrein system which is involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury via B1 and B2 receptors. Noscapine is a non-competitive antagonist of bradykinin receptors. Noscapine has been reported to to be able to protect some organs against ischemia-reperfusion injury but its effect on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIR) in rats is unknown. Therefore, the...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate an ethanolic extract of seeds of Linum usitatissimum (Linn.) (EELU) for its renoprotective role in rats through its antihypertensive effect and conservation of biological oxidation enzymes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Wistar rats (200-250 g) underwent uninephrectomy on day 0; after 2 weeks of recovery, the nephrectomised rats were divided into four groups of eight each: (...

Introduction: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (RIR) may disturb renin-angiotensin system components. In this study, the effects of Mas receptor (A779) and AT2 receptor (PD123319) antagonists were examined in RIR rats. Methods: Total 60 male and female Wistar rats were assigned into 10 groups (n=6 in each group), including sham-operated group, RIR groups treated with the vehicle, A779, PD123319, ...

This study aimed to characterize production and reproduction performances in Rhode Island Red-White strain chicken developed and maintained at the Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar. Three hundred and forty six fertile eggs were set in automated electric incubation and 234 chicks were investigated in three hatches. The performance data was analyzed by least squares analysis of variance...

Background and aimsResidual inflammatory risk (RIR) after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) may identify patients likely to benefit from anti-inflammatory therapies.MethodsPatients the Special Program University Medicine ACS cohort were divided into four groups according level of hsCRP at baseline 12 months: persistently high RIR, increased RIR (first low, then hsCRP), attenuated high, low or RIR....

conclusions il-33 may be a potential new agent to attenuate rir injury by reducing inflammatory cell infiltration and preventing apoptosis. results our data revealed that il-33 pretreatment maintained a better retinal structure, inhibited leukocyte infiltration (il-33 vs. mg with p < 0.01 and il-33 vs. pbs group with p < 0.01), and reduced the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells (il-33 vs. mg w...

introduction: this study was designed to evaluate the effects of treatment with flaxseed oil (fso) on renal ischemia-reperfusion (rir) injuries in rats. materials and methods: in this study, 32 wistar rats were randomly studied in four groups: co+ns (control group with normal saline administration), sh+ns (sham group with normal saline administration), rir+ns and rir+fso. fso (0.2 ml) was admin...
