Background: Since cellular membranes play key role in the physiological pathways of the cell, such as fertilization through almost every cellular function to cell division, it is very important to assess the structural and functional activity of the sperm membrane. In this study, a new method for measurement of sperm membrane stability measured the amount of zinc which liberated after being exp...

INTRODUCTION Zinc is an essential trace element for human nutrition, and its deficiency is associated with anorexia, poor food efficiency, growth retardation, and impaired neurological and immune systems. The zinc-deficiency rate is particularly high in many disease states, such as with end-stage renal disease patients undertaking hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to determine the effect ...

  Abstract   Objective: To determine the effect of oral zinc sulfate supplementation given with   coamoxiclav when compared with coamoxiclav alone for treatment of otitis media   with effusion (OME). The efficacy of the drug was assessed 3 and 6 weeks after administration .   Methods: In a double-blind, randomized trial 4 to 14 years old children with OME   who referred to ear, nose and throat ...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effect of different zinc (zn) sources on performance, bloodmineral and cell counts of zandi lambs. 18 male lambs at weaning were supplemented with two differentsources of zinc, 25 ppm znso4 and 25 ppm zinc-peptide added to the basal diet as control. live bodyweight, weight gain and feed efficiency improved with zn-peptide supplementation (p

the effect of different levels of zinc and copper organic supplements on performance, plasma copper plus zinc status, serum alkaline phosphatase (alp), ceruloplasmin (cp) activity as well as vitamin ¬a concentration was studied in 25 mehraban male lambs each of 5-6 months of age and 30/64±3/47kg of live weight. the following five dietary treatments were used: 1) control (base diet with no addit...

Introduction: Diarrheal diseases are a serious health problem and important causes of growth retardation and death in the developing world, especially those of prolonged duration. Since diarrhea is constantly found in children with zinc deficiency, very studies supported zinc supplements beneficial on the duration and severity of diarrhea among children. We review the impact of zinc effects on ...

Zinc supplementation has proven beneficial in the treatment of acute child diarrhea and appears to enhance linear growth. There is a theoretical risk of anemia in zinc-supplemented children due to inhibited iron transport via decreased copper absorption. Although many zinc supplementation trials have included hematological measures, the potential effect of zinc on these outcomes has not been qu...

effect of levels of zinc supplementation on footpad lesions, reproductive and blood parameters of broiler breeders with 300 hens and 40 roosters of ross 308 strain with four treatments, five replicates and 15 hens and two roosters in each for 12 weeks was evaluated in a completely randomized design. dietary treatments were 80, 110, 140 and 170 mg zinc/kg diet. increasing supplemental zinc level...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplement-ation of rosemary essential oils (REO) and zinc (as zinc sulfate) on performance, egg quality traits, and some serum biochemical metabolites of laying hens. A total of 144 44-weeks-old Lohmann LSL-Lite laying hens were randomly allocated into four treatments, each comprising six replicates of six birds. The first group was s...

UNLABELLED Alcoholic steatosis is a fundamental metabolic disorder in the progression of alcoholic liver disease. Zinc deficiency is one of the most consistently observed biochemical/nutritional manifestations of alcoholic liver disease. The purpose of this study is to determine whether dietary zinc supplementation to mice previously exposed to alcohol could reverse alcoholic steatosis. Male 12...
