The study aimed to investigate the effects of FSH and eCG on the ovarian and follicular development, expression levels of FSHR and caspase-9 of ovaries in vivo. One hundred and five prepuberty mice were allocated into FSH-1, FSH-2, FSH-3, eCG-1, eCG-2, eCG-3 groups and control group (CG). Mice in FSH-1, FSH-2 and FSH-3 were intramuscularly injected with 5, 10 and 20 IU FSH twice (on day 0 and 4...

one way to confront chemical warfare in order to reduce their harmful effects, is to use the body's defense mechanisms. in order to do so firstly mustard gas (hd) was injected in an animal model in the form of an immunogen and the induced humoral immune response was investigated by two different immunological methods such as the ouchterlony test and a new liquid phase fluoroimmunoassay. 7l...

Myeloma proteins (1) and antibodies of a given specificity (2, 3) produced in an individual animal possess individually specific or "idiotypic" (4) antigenic determinants. 1 Idiotypic cross-reactions among antibodies of the same specificity from different individual rabbits or humans are infrequent (2, 3, 5, 6) and are generally weak when they do occur (7). Eichmann and Kindt (8), however, rece...

electrocardiographic (ecg) parameters and cardiac rhythms have been evaluated and published in different breeds of beef and dairy cattle but there is limited information regarding these parameters in healthy sheep. this study is aimed to investigate the ecg parameters in balouchi sheep. the ecg parameters including the amplitudes of p, q, r, s and t waves, duration of p, qrs and t waves and p-r...
