the study was carried out to evaluate the effects of complete replacement of maize with two varieties of guinea corn and two varieties of millets on the growth performance and nutrient retention in broiler chickens. five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets for the broiler starter (23.5% cp; 2800 kcal/me) and finisher (21.5% cp; 2900 kcal/me) phases were formulated. diet 1 consisted on a maize b...

flavonoids could serve as potent inhibitors of xanthine oxidase (xo). in the present study, the effects of ruta graveolens l. extract and its major isolated flavonoids, quercetin and rutin, on guinea pig liver xo have been investigated. the inhibitory effects of r. graveolens, quercetin and its glycoside form, rutin, were assayed spectrophotometrically. r. graveolens extract showed moderate inh...

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severely contagious viral disease that mainly affects cloven-hoofedlivestock and wildlife. This study quantifies the cytokines mRNA expression of vaccinated guinea pigs withFMD type O inactivated vaccine. Blood samples were collected from eight guinea pigs at 7 and 28 days after thefirst vaccination. Extracted mRNAs were reverse-transcribed into cDNA and analyz...

In this study granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF) was prepared from rabbit and guinea pig lung tissues. The biological activity of these CSFs was measured on semisolid agar culture and compared with those of mouse and rat. Weight of animals, incubation time and cross-reactivity of CSFs with different bone marrow sources were also investigated. The results showed that both...

On 28th September 2009, 157 protesters were killed, at ...

clinical asthma and airway responsiveness appear to be less severe when diabetes is superimposed. the aim of the present study was to determine the possible role of nitric oxide (no) in the airway reactivity under diabetic and diabetic-allergic conditions. twenty-five male guinea-pigs were divided into five groups of five each as follows: diabetic, antigen sensitized, diabetic- antigen sensitiz...

in the previous studies the relaxant, anti-cholinergic (functional antagonism) and anti-histaminic effects of nigella sativa have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. to elucidate the main substance responsible for the relaxant effect of this plant, the effect of thymoquinone, one of the main constituent of nigella sativa was examined in this study. the bronchodilatory effects of th...

sodium valproate (sv), an antiepileptic drug has several mechanism of action. it inhibits voltage sensitive na+ channels and reduces intracellular na accumulation. these actions are similar to that of both phenytoin and carbamazepine. we have investigated the direct cardiac action of sv and its effects on ouabain-induced arrhythmia in isolated guinea-pig atria. the guinea-pig atrium was dissect...

weed pollen grains belonging to  the  asteraceae  family contain  a variety of  allergens inducing type i  and iv allergies in susceptible people. the  aim of this research was to compare  the  allergenic properties  of  immature  and  mature  shasta  daisy pollen  grains (chrysanthemum maximum ramond) to define the potential role of the maturation process on the allergenicity of asteraceae pol...

since, the most susceptible laboratory animal to foot–and–mouth disease virus (fmdv) is guinea pig, and then one milliliter of fmdv type (o) concentrations of 106-106.5 tcid50was inoculated intradermally (id) to 10 plantar surface of guinea pig (right side). guinea pig adapted virus has been prepared after generalization phase, and then one milliliter of virus was inoculated intradermally to 30...
