An experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during November 2011 to March 2012 to evaluate the effect of integrated use of manures and fertilizers on the growth, yield and nutrient uptake by wheat. There were six treatments such as T0 (Control), T1 [STB-CF (HYG)], T2 [CD + STB-CF (HYG)], T3 [PM + STB-CF (HYG)], T4 [COM + STB...

The prophyalactic contributions of spirulina and thankuni on rats experimentally induced with arsenic toxicity were tested and the comparative efficacies of both spirulina and thankuni were determined. Sixty apparently healthy rats were received, divided into 5 groups (T0 for control, T1 for arsenic treated group, T2 for arsenic plus spirulina treated group, T3 for arsenic plus thankuni treated...

Experiment was conducted on 120 broiler chicks for six weeks and their weight gain was taken for consecutive six weeks to observe the effect of different levels of dietary selenium over growth and nutrient utilization of birds. There were three diets prepared with 0.125, 0.15 and 0.175 mg Se/Kg feed for group T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The FCR and st performance index at 1 week for T1 were 1.3...

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el extracto oleoso de la munida Pleuroncodes monodon en alimento balanceado sobre pigmentación músculo trucha arcoíris (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Los tratamientos fueron T1: formulado sin pigmento, T2 y T3: con 70 90 mg astaxantina natural/kg alimento, respectivamente y, T4 pigmento sintético (70 astaxantina/kg alimento). Se registraron cada 15 días dura...

PURPOSE To evaluate bladder histology in healing and biochemical analysis of rats with single kidney in ischemia/reperfusion, treated with tacrolimus. METHODS Fifty rats randomized into five groups. Three rats died in surgery, 47 rats divided in groups: Control (non-operated, n=10), Sham (operated without drugs, n=8), T1 (operated + tacrolimus 1mg/kg, n=10), T2 (operated + tacrolimus 0.1 mg/k...

The effects of various amounts of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) injected subcutaneously or intravenously (alone or in combination with growth hormone-releasing factor: GRF 1-44) on growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were studied in the plasma of 2-week, 2-month and 3-month old lambs. After subcutaneous TRH administration, incre...

Triiodothyronine (T3) regulates the expression of genes involved in muscle metabolism. Therefore, we examined the effects of a 7-day T3 treatment on the monocarboxylate transporters (MCT)1 and MCT4 in heart and in red (RG) and white gastrocnemius muscle (WG). We also examined rates of lactate transport into giant sarcolemmal vesicles and the plasmalemmal MCT1 and MCT4 in these vesicles. Ingesti...

Experiments were conducted to understand the effects of thyroid hormones and thiourea (TU) on otolith growth during metamorphosis of leptocephali. TU is an anti-thyroid hormone drug that inhibits the production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in the thyroid tissue. Fully grown leptocephali of tarpon Megalops cyprinoides collected at the mouth of the Gong-Shy-Tyan Brook, N Taiwan, we...

    Background & Objective:  Acetaminophen is known as the most common agent which causes hepatic and renal toxicity in human and experimental animals at supra-therapeutic doses. The current study investigated the protective effects of Descurainia sophia seed extract on the acetaminophen-induced nephrotoxicity markers in male mice.  Materials & Methods:  Experimental male mice (n=60, Swiss alb...
