Effects of photoperiod on growth, eating patterns and clearance rate, secretion rate and half-life of growth hormone in serum were assessed in Holstein heifers. Sixty-four prepubertal heifers (avg body wt 102 kg) were blocked by weight into four groups of 16. Within block, each animal was randomly assigned to one of four photoperiod treatments: 16 h of cool-white fluorescent light:8 h dark (CW-...

The purpose of the present research was to study the effects of Ceolus KG-802 on the dissolution behavior of fenofibrate liquisolid tablets. The fenofibrate liquisolid tablets were formulated using the mathematical model described by Spireas et al. In the present research, Ceolus KG-802, a different form of microcrystalline cellulose (PH 102 grade), was used as a carrier material. The developed...
