The present study aimed to determine haemato-biochemical constituents and corticosterone level of synthetic coloured broiler male line affected with heat stress. We hypothesized that haemoglobin (Hb), Packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocyte count (TEC), lymphocyte eosinophil values were significantly higher in control whereas leucocyte (TLC), heterophil basophil stress group. Additionally, ...

Blood viscosity (shear rate 100/s) and its major determinants (packed cell volume, plasma fibrinogen concentration, and plasma viscosity) were measured before coronary angiography in 50 men aged 30-55 and related to the extent of coronary artery disease. Twenty-six men had extensive disease (stenosis of two or three major coronary vessels), and 24 had either stenosis of one vessel or no stenosi...

The concentrations of adenine nucleotides (AMP, ADP, ATP) were determined in coelomic cells (eleocytes) of the polychaete Nereis virens. In cells of immature and male animals, total ADP and AMP contents (each 10­15 µmol ml-1 packed cell volume) greatly exceeded that of ATP (0.8 µmol ml-1 packed cell volume). 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of living eleocytes showed...

trypanosoma are extra-erythrocytic, protozoan parasites of domestic and wild animals. it is transmitted by biting flies and a cause of fever, anemia, myocarditis and corneal opacity. in the present study, trypanosoma infection is reported in a male bull dog of two years age at lahore, pakistan. clinical signs and symptoms of infection are re­corded. confirmation of case was done by microscopic ...

To analyze the resistance against Theileria sergenti infection in Holstein and Japanese Black cattle under field conditions, clinical, hematological and parasitological findings in these breeds of cattle that were grazed in the same pasture were examined during the grazing period. Holstein cattle showed a higher level of parasitemia than Japanese Black. With the progression of parasitemia, pack...

Data on haemoglobin concentration, red cell count, packed cell volume, mean cell volume, mean cell haemoglobin and mean cell haemoglobin concentration for 'normal' children aged 1-4 years living on the Highveld (altitude 1400-1800 m) are presented in yearly age groups. The children were defined as normal on the basis of having growth attainment and iron, folate and vitamin B12 nutrition within ...

We present a new approach for biomass assessment in cell culture using a disposable microcentrifuge tube. The specially designed tube is fitted with an upper chamber for sample loading and a lower 5 microL capillary for cell collection during centrifugation. The resulting packed cell volume (PCV) can be quantitatively expressed as the percentage of the total volume of the sample. The present st...
