Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the contributing factors for whole blood rheological status in female patients with hypercholesterolemia. Methods: A total of 257 untreated female patients with hypercholesterolemia and 100 normolipidemic subjects with no history of cardiovascular events were enrolled. Blood passage time (BPT) was used as a marker of whole blood rheology and was measured wit...

chinese jujube (ziziphus jujuba mill.) has long been widely used for human consumption and medicinal purposes in china. it has been reported to possess several vital biological activities. however, the systematic study on the chemical constituents absorbed into plasma and their metabolites is still insufficient. a high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector-electrospray ion...

Previous works on albinism form of Asinara white donkeys (Equus asinus) identified the mutation leading to the peculiar phenotype spread to all specimens of the breed. Inbreeding naturally occurred under geographic isolation, on Asinara Island, in the Mediterranean Sea. Albino individuals can be more susceptible to develop health problems when exposed to natural sun radiation. Alternative metab...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of antibiotic, organic acid, probiotic and prebiotic on quality traits of eggs, egg yolk lipids and blood metabolites of laying hens strain hy-line (w-36). the experiment was carried out as a completely randomized design from 32 to 42 weeks of age with 5 treatments, 4 replicates and 8 hens in each replicate. the experimental treatments con...

In drug invention and early disease prediction of lung cancer, metabolomic biomarker detection is very important. Mortality rate can be decreased, if cancer is predicted at the earlier stage. Recent diagnostic techniques for lung cancer are not prognosis diagnostic techniques. However, if we know the name of the metabolites, whose intensity levels are considerably changing between cancer subjec...

Medicinal plants have curative properties due to the presence of various complex chemical compositions, which are found as secondary plant metabolites in one or more parts of the plant. The aim of this study was to compute the antidiabetic activity of Holarrhena antidysenterica   seeds extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The experimental protocol designed as animals were divided i...

electrocardiography (ecg) may be used to recognize cardiac disorders. levels of milk production may change the serum electrolytes which its imbalance has a role in cardiac arrhythmia. fifty high yielding and fifty low yielding holstein dairy cows were used in this study. electrocardiography was recorded by base-apex lead and blood samples were collected from jugular vein for measurement of seru...

background: since the prohibition of antibiotic growth promoter in poultry ration by the european :union:, poultry producers have been  trying to replace them by other growth promoters like medicinal herbs. lipia citridora is a medicinal  herb enriched by several powerful phenolic compounds and with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties which lead to enhancing appetite and growth performance...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using different levels of red pepper powder (rp) and marigold flower powder (mf) on egg production, egg yolk color andsome blood metabolites in laying hens. ninety, 103-weeks old laying hens were divided into 5 treatments groups of 6 birds in each cage with 3 replicates in a completely randomized design. the birds were fed a corn-soybean...
