In order to compare the acute effects of three kinds of antithyroid agents of iodide (I-), propylthiouracil (PTU) and PTU combined with iodide (PTU+I-) on thyroid function in hyperthyroid patients with diffuse goiter, serum concentrations of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), T3-resin sponge uptake (T3-RU) and free thyroxine index (FT4I) were employed as thyroid function parameters. In the ...

2-n-Butyl-3-(4'-diethylaminoethoxy-3',5'-diiodobenzoyl)-benzofurane (amiodarone), a drug used in arrythmias and angina pectoris, contains 75 mg of organic iodine/200 mg active substance. Four studies were performed to test its effect on thyroid hormone metabolism: (a) nine male subjects were treated with 400 mg of amiodarone for 28 days; (b) five male subjects received, for the same period of t...

In order to compare the effect of propylthiouracil (PTU) of Iran Hormone Co. and that of Dr. Herbrand KG, Germany, 28 patients with toxic goiter entered this study. Each patient received 200 mg PTU daily for the first 4 weeks and 50 mg daily thereafter. 17 patients received PTU from Iran Hormone (group 1) and 111 took PTU from Germany (group 2). T4, T3 and TSH by RIA and resine T3, uptake were ...

Present study was planned to screen locally available tanniferous tree leaves for their chemical composition, presence of condensed tannins (CT), potential source of CT and suitable leaf meal mixture (LMM) was formulated for incorporation in the densified complete feed blocks (DCF). Two types of blocks (with and without CT; CT-DCF and DCF, respectively) were formulated and prepared. Twelve adul...

Liver microsomal cytochrome P4502E1-dependent p-nitrophenol (PNP) hydroxylation and expression of cytochrome P4502E1 were studied in rats subjected to gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCCH) or L-3,3,5-triiodothyronine (T3) administration as a possible mechanism contributing to superoxide radical (O2.-) generation. HCCH treatment (a single dose of 40 mg/kg body wt) produced a 43% increase in the con...

This study is aimed to produce economical and high quality orange nectar by partial replacement of sucrose with an equivalent sweetness from the safe artificial sweetener sucralose. Using different ratios from sucrose and sucralose at concentrations equivalent to sucrose sweetness in the final orange nectar affect significantly (p<0.05) the total soluble solids (Brix) and viscosity (cp) but doe...

A study was carried out on the optimal dose of inorganic fertilizer used in carp polyculture system over a period of 10 months. Three treatments were assigned: without inorganic fertilizer, with the application of 100 kg/ha/month inorganic fertilizer and 150 kg/ha/month inorganic fertilizer as T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Each treatment had three replications. The selected indigenous carp speci...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of adding biochar diet and litter on growth performance, gas concentration, hock burning dermatitis in foot pads broilers. In experiment, 300 One day old chicks were randomly distributed 5 treatments 3 replicates each treatment , with (20) birds .T1: as control treatment. T2: (2) kg / 100 feed). T3: (4 l T4: (2 litter). T5: litter) . The r...

In the present study, the effects of natural zeolite clinoptilolite on absorption of immunoglobulins from colostrum and incidence of enteric diseases were evaluated. In a completely randomised design, thirty Holstein calves were fed pooled colostrum and then milk containing zero (control), 0.5 (T1), 1.0 (T2), 1.5 (T3) and 2.0 (T4) g clinoptilolite per kg body weight per day through day 45.
