The purpose of this project is the investigation of LHRHa2 integrated effect with carp pituitary extract (CPE) in three stages injection on sexual indexes (fecundity, fertilization, hatch and larval survival) in artificial propagation of Barbusxanthopterus. 20 fish were divided in to 4 treatment and injected interpritoneal as follows 4mgkg-1b.w.of CPE as positive control, 4 µg/kg +4 mgkg-1b.w. ...

This study aims at determining the level of pollution heavy metals (Cr, Cu and Hg) in soils illegal mining sites Atiwa East District Ghana. The concentrations Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), Mercury (Hg) were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). extent metal risk assessment was analyzed site. Thirty (30) soil samples collected from three (3) within district. average levels Cu, Cr,...

Effects of some selective serotonergic (5-HT) antagonists on methamphetamine-induced anorexia were investigated in male mice. The least possible dose of methamphetamine alone that caused significant anorectic activity was 11 micromolkg(-1), i.p. (2 mgkg(-1)). Various doses of some selective serotonergic receptor antagonists were administered half an hour before the above mentioned dose of metha...

The pharmacokinetic studies of enrofloxacin were investigated in yak (Bos grunniens L.) after administration of enrofloxacin by intramuscular route at 5 mgkg-1 body weight. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein at predetermined time intervals after drug administration. Plasma was separated and analysed for enrofloxacin by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Variou...

The effects of three premedication regimens were compared in 45 healthy patients in whom anaesthesia was induced with diprivan 2 mgkg" I.V Premedication with diazepam 10 mg orally and droperidol 2.5-5 Omg and piritramide 7.5-15.0 mg i.m. resulted in less pain on injection and a more profound sleep from dipnvan than premedicanon with diazepam 10 mg orally or no premedication. No differences in s...

Daily intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CPA) (50 mgkg(-1) of body weight) for 5 days resulted in reduced levels of marrow and blood cellularity, which was most pronounced in 18 days post-treatment (pt). On day 18 after CPA treatment the enhancedlevels of nitric oxide (NO) precursors and metabolites (L-arginine, L-citrulline, reactive nitrogen species (RNS)) of marrow and blood cell...

The dietary iron requirement for normal growth and optimum hematological values and bioavailability was determined for channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus fingerlings using eggwhite based diets supplemented with 0,5,10,20,60, and 180-mg ironkg from iron methionine or 20, 60, and 180-mg ironkg from iron sulfate. The basal diet which contained 9.2-mg ironkg, 34% crude protein and 3.1 kcal of dige...

Animal work on the behavioral effects of antipsychotic treatment suggests that different dosing regimens could affect drug sensitivity differently, with an intermittent treatment regimen tending to cause a sensitization effect, while a continuous treatment causing a tolerance. In this study, we explored how haloperidol (HAL) sensitization induced throughout adolescence and tested in adulthood w...
