objective(s): silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) are one of the most widely used nanomaterials recently. despite the wide application of nanomaterials, there is limited information concerning their impact on human health and the environment. this study aimed to find the effects of ag-nps (40 nm) on blood serum, liver and kidney tissues of homing pigeons (columbia livia).materials and methods: columb...

 The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of natural products like propolis on biochemical and hematologic parameters in carp (Cyprinus carpio, Linnaeus 1758) exposed to arsenic. In this study fish were exposed to 0.01 mg/L arsenic and 10 mg/L propolis for seven days. Our results indicated that triglyceride, urea, total cholesterol, cobalt, ALT (alanine amino transfe...

Objective: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the leading causes of death, illness, and economic loss in the world. The present study was attempted to evaluate extract of Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) on lipid profile, lipid peroxidation and activities of amino transferase enzymes in streptozocin induced diabetic adult male rats. Materials and Methods: The effects of daily oral administration of...

Background: Margarine contain trans fatty acids as major sources of dietary free radicals, and oxidative stress. Effect of oral administration of margarine on hepatic enzyme was investigated in Wistar rats. Methods: Thirty six (36) adult Wistar rats were uniformly divided into three groups of control , margarine 15% and 20%, twelve rats in each groups (6males & 6 females). Margarine was add...

The aim of the present study was to investigate effect antihistamines(Chlorpheneramineand Fexofenadine) on (alkaline phosphatase, aspartate amino transpherase and alanine transferase) in tissue fertilized hens eggs embryos as indicator damage. injection hen's with antihistamines Fexofenadine at 12th day incubation doses (0,5,0,1mg/ egginto air sell)after 24 hour treatment induce significantly d...

in the present study, changes of values of serum 17ß-estradiol (e2), asparate amino teransferase (ast), alanine amino transferase (alt) and lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) following intraperitoneal (i.p) injection with the aromatase inhibitor (ai) letrozole were investigated in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss). forty- eight apparently healthy rainbow trout (mean weight of 845 g) divided in four ...

background & aim: marshmallow (althaea officinalis) is one of the most popular medicinal plants used in traditional medicine with antibacterial and antioxidant properties. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of marshmallow extract (althaea officinalis l.) administration on blood cells and biochemical parameters of carp liver. experimental: 150 carp (weighing 37.65 ± 4.40 g) wer...

the objective of this study was to investigate aspartate-amino-transferase (ast), γ-glutamyl-transferase(ggt), alkaline phosphatase (alp), lactate-dehydrogenase (ldh) and acid phosphatase (acp) activities andsemen parameters (volume, ph, concentration, total sperm number (tsn), progressive motility, dead sperm,total morphological defect (tmd) and hypo-osmotic swelling test (host)) in seminal pl...

The objective of this study was to investigate aspartate-amino-transferase (AST), γ-glutamyl-transferase(GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid phosphatase (AcP) activities andsemen parameters (volume, pH, concentration, total sperm number (TSN), progressive motility, dead sperm,total morphological defect (TMD) and hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST)) in seminal pl...
