Production of reactive oxygen species can positively contribute to immune responses Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can elicit extreme biological damage by modifyingDNA, proteins, and lipids. However, ROS also play diverse and beneficial roles, including involvement in the innate immune response. Mechanisms by which ROS affect innate immunity include direct killing of bacterial and fungal pathoge...

Abstract In the present study, effects of dietary supplementation low molecular weight sodium alginate on growth, body composition, antioxidant enzymes, digestive and immune response in yellowfin sea bream juvenile ( Acanthopagrus latus ) were investigated. Fish (n=180) divided into 3 groups with replicates received treatments including basal diet without (control treatment), containing 5 g per...

Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a newly emerging technique that uses active site-directed probes to monitor the functional status of enzymes. Serine hydrolases are one of the largest families of enzymes in mammals. More than 200 serine hydrolases have been identified, but little is known about their specific roles. Serine hydrolases are involved in a variety of physiological function...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects vegetable oils on antioxidant capacity, blood lipid components and immune responses in chickens raised hot climate. In a completely randomized design, 300 chicks were assigned four treatments five replicates with 15 per each. highest concentration malondialdehyde found broilers fed palm oil (p < 0.05). Chickens corn had lowest those flaxseed en...

Human and animal immune functions present sex dimorphism that seems to be mainly regulated by sex hormones. In the present study, the activities of the antioxidant enzymes total superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured in intraperitoneal resident macrophages from adult male and female rats. In addition to comparing males and females, we also ...

The target of one calf crop per year in dairy cattle and 13-14 months buffaloes could be achieved only when an animal normally calves, completes uterine involution timely with initiation post-partum ovarian activity. But, the postpartum infections pose a great hurdle achievement this due to economic losses owe cost treatment, disturbed calving conception period therefore prolonged inter-calving...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Curcuma zedoaria and Zingiber zerumbet on non-specific immune responses of grouper (Epinephelus coioides). Fish were fed an experimental diet containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 g/kg of C. zedoaria and Z. zerumbet mixed diets twice daily for two weeks. Non-specific immune parameters such as respiratory burst activity, reactive oxygen species, phago...

The aim of this study is whether oxidative stress markers, homocysteine (Hcy), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) alter following administration of different doses of sertraline. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups. Sertraline at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg / kg / day) were administered to three groups through gastric gavage for 90 days. The ...

 The aim of this study was to determine the activity of digestive enzymes during the fry development of Rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ), which has a remarkable role in food digestion and absorption in the first feeding. The assessment of digestive enzymes activity of gastric (pepsin), pancreatic (trypsin, chymotrypsin, α-amylase and lipase) and intestinal (alkaline phosphatase) revealed t...
