AIM This study aimed to analyze the effect of ticagrelor pretreatment on the prevention of lung and heart injury induced by abdominal aorta ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) and also to determine the effective dose. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 350-400 g were randomized into five groups. The animals received ticagrelor at doses of 7.5 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg and 25...

We read with interest and surprise the article by Suibhne et al., ‘High prevalence of overweight and obesity in adults with Crohn's disease (CD): associations with disease and lifestyle factors’.1 Their prospective study was conducted in Ireland, comprising 100 CD outpatients and 100 matched healthy controls. The study was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in patients with C...

Two trials were initiated to determine if slaframine (SF) can be used to alter fluid digesta flow and fermentation patterns in the rumen. In trial 1, a preliminary experiment, four Dorset X Barbados Black-belly ruminal-cannulated wethers (avg weight 41.6 8.7 kg) given ad libitum access to a pelleted concentrate/hay diet were injected intramuscularly with 0, 12, 24 or 48 micrograms SF/kg body we...

Effects of the investigational methane (CH 4 ) inhibitor 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) on animal performance, health and enteric CH production beef cattle were evaluated in a commercial feedlot. Two concurrent studies conducted: large pen study (4,048 cattle, eight replicates per experimental group) to measure performance small (a subset 50 from study, n = 25 emissions. Within animals (body weight...

isovanillin and iso-acetovanillon are two phenolic components isolated from a number of plants including pycnocycla spinosa . p. spinosa extract has antispasmodic and antidiarrheal activities. however, no comparative study has been done on antidiarrheal action of isovanillin and iso- acetovanillon, so far. the aim of this study was to investigate antidiarrheal action of isovanillin and iso-acet...

Background & Aim: This experiment was conducted to examine the effect of different levels of Echinacea purpurea (EP) in comparison with an antibiotic (flavofosfolipol) on total antioxidant activity (AOA) in serum of broiler chicks. Experimental: In this trial 240 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were weighed and randomly assigned to the 5 treatment groups, each with 4 re...

-1. In Caiman crocodilus, the pH of the gastric secretions during digestion may reach 1.2 in specimens kept between 20 and 30°C. C. crocodilus feeds and digests at 15°C, but the pH of gastric secretions did not drop below 1-8. 2. The gastric secretion increased in rate and hydrochloric acid concentration after injections of histamine (400 t~g/kg body weight, given in four hourly doses). The rat...
