at present, a great deal of attention is being focused on the tortoise as a domestic pet. knowledge of the blood biochemical parameters in captivity of this animal would be helpful for evaluations of their health. in this regard, the serum biochemical values were measured in 12 asian tortoises (6 males and 6 females) before hibernation. serum values of total protein (top) 63.19 ± 7.57 g/l, albu...

objective(s): titanium dioxide (tio2) nanoparticles (nps) are widely used in commercial food additives and cosmetics worldwide. uptake of these nanoparticulate into humans by different routes and may exhibit potential side effects, lags behind the rapid development of nanotechnology. thus, the present study designed to evaluate the toxic effect of mixed rutile and anatase tio2 nps on serum bioc...

objective(s): the impact of fasting in ramadan as a unique type of nutritional regimen on biochemical and hematological parameters is still an issue of debate. almost very little is known regarding the regulatory role(s) of this nutritional status on immune responses or inflammation.   materials and methods:   the levels of biochemical parameters were determined using commercial diagnostic kits...

objective the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the ketogenic diet on the growth parameters of the children with resistant epilepsy. materials & methods a total of 36 children with resistant epilepsy who were 2 to 7 year old were put on the ketogenic diet. their growth and biochemical parameters were studied at the beginning of the study and after 3 months. results weight decrease...

The present study aimed to elucidate the impacts of dietary vegetable oil blends as alternative to fish oil on serum biochemical and haematological parameters in Heterobranchus longifilis fingerlings. Fish (4.65 ± 0.23g) were fed diets containing fish oil (FO), palm oil (PO), soybean oil (SO), blend of PO and SO (POSO) over a 12-week period. The experiment was carried out in 62-l circular tanks...

 Abstract Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism is autonomous production of parathyroid hormone. After removal of adenoma, one of the surgeons concern is postoperative hypocalcaemia. There is no precise method to determine if patients have hypocalcaemia postoperatively. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between parathyroid adenoma weights, postoperative serum calcium and...

This study aimed to detect changes in clinical parameters, biochemical and serum cytokine levels calves with sepsis. In the study, 34 diagnosed sepsis according laboratory results 7 deemed be healthy were used. The blood sample was taken from vena jugularis for determination of hematological, biochemical, levels. Significant observed parameters Serum concentrations IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IN...

background and aims: infectious bronchitis (ib), caused by infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), is an acute and highly contagious disease in chickens. ibv is considered mainly as a respiratory infection, other clinical manifestations, including renal, enteric and reproductive signs can be observed. since there has been no study on evaluation of changes in biochemical parameters during ib infectio...

Serum biochemical parameters can be utilized to evaluate the physiological status of an animal, and relate it to the animal's health. In order to accurately interpret individual animal biochemical results, species-specific reference intervals (RI) must be established. Reference intervals for biochemical parameters differ between species, and physiological differences including reproductive stat...

Theileriosis, caused by Theileria protozoa and infected by ticks, is a disease with high mortality rate. The most common species found in tropical and subtropical regions are T. annulata and T. parva. Theileriosis is often seen in cattle in the Eastern Anatolia Region, especially in the Van region. Clinical symptoms such as high fever, anaemia and haemoglobinuria are detected with this disease....
