vampirolepis nana is the most common cestode in humans especially children. domestic mice and rats can serve as definitive hosts for v. nana. confusion exists over the species status and host-specificity of this tapeworm. in a previous study done by the same authors it was found that the egyptian human isolates of v. nana could be used to infect mice for experimental work. eggs in human feces a...

background: this study was carried out to observe the radioprotective effects of rosemarinus officinalis leaves extract (roe) against radiation-induced histopathological alterations in liver of mice. materials and methods: adult swiss albino mice were exposed to 6 gy gamma radiation in the presence (experimental) or absence (control) of roe to study the qualitative and quantitative alterations ...

background: from the time immemorial man has been exposed to ionizing radiation from the environment in which he lives. radiation protection concepts and philosophy have been evolving over the past several decades. materials and methods: the radioprotective of effect of aloe vera leaf extract (1000 mg /kg b.wt. orally for 15 consecutive days) has been studied against 6 gy of gamma radiation in ...

Behavioral measurements on the water maze show night blindness in albino mice but cortical recordings show no difference between pigmented and congenic albino mice. Consequently we have measured the absolute threshold in albino and pigmented mice using an operant method. The estimated threshold value is -5.3 log cd/m2 for albino mice and -5.5 log cd/m2 for the pigmented mice. We conclude that t...

Biochemical study in the effect of alcoholic extract Thymus vulgaris lowering incluced toxicity liver and kidney Albino Mice mice. The am this is to investigate ethanolic on levels enzymes Thirty albino mice average weight (25-30)gm were divided into 5 groups as follow:group1; has given normal diet control group.
 group2; (injected with carbon tetrachloride CCl4), group3 CCl4 + 0.5mg/ml sa...

To study the effect of CGP 35348 on learning and memory in albino mice following hypoxia ischemia insult, 10 days old albino mice were subjected to right common carotid artery ligation followed by 8% hypoxia for 25 minutes. Following brain damage, mice were fed on normal rodent diet till they were 13 week old. At this time point, mice were divided into two groups. Group 1 received saline and gr...

Regarding the fast development of nanotechnology and its various applications, present study was carried out to estimate potential toxic effect silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on fertility male albino mice. Thirty-five adult mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (7 per group) as following: first group (GP

background: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the radioprotective effect of grewia asiatica fruit pulp extract (gae) on swiss albino mice exposed to gamma radiation. in the present study radioprotective efficacy of grewia asiatica (rich in anthocyanin, carotenes, vitamin c, etc.) was studied against radiation induced biochemical alterations in mice cerebrum. materials and methods: fo...

Albino-beige mice were produced in order to combine two experimentally useful characteristics, albinism and lysosomal dysfunction, in the same animal. The retinal pigment epithelium of albino-beige mice formed giant intracellular granules. Exposure of albino-beige mice to white light of 150 foot-candles for 3 to 10 hr induced marked phagocytosis of rod outer segment fragments by the retinal pig...
