BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a clinicopathological entity that is being recognized more frequently in recent years. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Metformin, with and without a probiotic supplement on liver aminotransferases in patients with NASH. METHODS Sixty four patients 18-75 years with NASH confirmed by biopsy and histological assessment were enrolled ...

in this research, we investigated the effects of medicinal plants, prebiotic and probiotic as alternatives to antibiotics on the growth performance, immune response and blood cholesterol in broilers. a total of 288 one- day-old broiler chicks (cobb 500) were randomly assigned to 6 treatments and replicated 4 times with 12 chicks per pen in a completely randomize design experiment in 6 wk. diet ...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the probiotic effects of different concentrations of four selected native Lactobacillus strains on laying performance and egg quality parameters of quails. To do this, a six-week farm trial was performed in completely randomized design with seven different probiotic treatments of four replicates each consisting of eight quails, resulti...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of medicinal plants, prebiotic and probiotic as alternatives to antibiotics on the growth performance, intestinal morphology and ileal digestibility of nutrients in broilers. a total of 288 one- day-old broiler chicks (cobb 500) were randomly assigned to 6 treatments and 4 replicates with 12 chicks per each replicate in a completely randomiz...

a 4 days study was conducted to determine the effects of different concentration of bioaugmentor bacterial strain bacillus licheniformisi, b. subtilis, b. polymyxa, b. laterosporus and b. circulans (protexin aquatech, uk) on adjustment of parameters of water quality as tan, no2-n, no3-n and turbidity from the effluent of common carp ponds. effects of time and concentration were studied as a com...

This study was carried out to determine the effect of different levels of clove essential oil, as a natural growth promoter and probiotic on performance,carcass traits and serum components of broiler chickens. A total of 240 straight run day-old commercial broiler chicks (Cobb 500) were distributed randomly into five groups. Each group was subdivided into four replicates with 12 chicks each. Th...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of humulus lupulus essential oils as an alternative to antibiotic and antioxidant on productive performance, lipids stability of meat and ileum microbial population in broiler chickens during days 1 to 42 of age. a total of 625 day-old arian broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five treatments (200 and 400 mg/kg hu...
