A 3 × 2 factorial arrangements with completely randomized design, with a total of 72 Leghorn Hy-line (W-36) laying hens in the second cycle (98 wk old) of production were randomly assigned to 24 wire cages (45.7×30×30 cm3) and fed with diets containing three levels of guar meal (GM; 0, 4 and 8%) and two levels of β-mannanase (Hemicell®) enzyme (0.00 and 0.05%) for 12 wk period. There...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of subacute administration of propylthiouracil (ptu) on gentamicin (gm)-induced nephrotoxicity in male rats.   materials and methods: male wistar rats were divided into 4 experimental groups as follow: (1) control group: isotonic saline (1 ml/kg, ip. for 18 d), (2) gm group: 100 mg/kg, ip for 8 d, (3) ptu group: ptu (10 mg/kg, ip fo...

allergic airway inflammation is characterized by elaboration of cytokines and chemokines leading to recruitment of inflammatory leukocytes, predominantly eosinophils, to the airways. granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (gm-csf) is generated in the lungs of human subjects with asthma in response to allergen challenge and is necessary for the development of allergen-induced bronchial...
