background: paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide, widely used to control weeds in agriculture farms and aquatic plants in surface waters. paraquat can have adverse effects on the health of aquatic organisms. the aim of this study was to detect the alterations in the blood biochemical parameters of common carp exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of commercial formulations of paraquat. ...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of exogenous enzymes supplementation (es) on performance, carcass traits and some blood parameters of broilers chickens. one hundred and eighty day old chicks with 40 ± 2 g initial body weight in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 4 replications were fed experimental diets included, 1) basal diet no enzymes (control), 2) bas...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary melatonin supplementation (10 mg/kg body wt. for 4 weeks) on some erythrocytic antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation as well as some plasma biochemical parameters in common carp. the results showed that the activities of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were increased significantly (p < 0.05) after melatonin suppleme...

chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate pesticide, is widely used to control pests in agriculture farms and orchards of fruit trees. in this study, the fish were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos which were determined based on numerical value of 96 h lc 50 . blood was sampled after 10, 20 and 30 days and biochemical parameters including glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, tri...

the present study investigated the possible protective effect of helicteres isora (sterculiaceae) bark extracts on certain biochemical markers in streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetes in rats. stz treatment (60 mg/kg/i.p) caused a hyperglycemic state that led to various physiological and biochemical alterations. blood levels of glucose, urea, uric acid and creatinine, plasma levels of albumin a...
