Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug for the treatment of cancer. Chicken embryo amniotic fluid, vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 have anti-oxidant properties. Total of 70 adult female mice were selected and divided into seven groups. The first group that received 2 ml kg-1 of inactivated amniotic fluid subcutaneously. The second group treated with 75 mg kg-1of cyclophosphami...

the purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the effect of chicken amniotic fluid (af) on a cross section of rat sciatic nerves. thirty adult male sprague-dawley rats weighing 275 to 300 g, were randomized into three groups treated with (1) amniotic fluid or af (n=10), (2) normal saline or ns (n=10), and (3) sham surgery (n=10). the af was aspirated from the amniotic cavity of incubat...

In the literature, IGFs in the developing embryo are usually determined by blood serum concentrations. For this study, IGF-I/-II was quantified in the amniotic and allantoic fluids of fertile commercial broiler chicken (Gallus domesticus) (n=222), Pekin duck (Anas platyrhyncha) (n=250), and turkey (Meleagridis gallopavo) eggs (n= 200) during incubation. Amniotic and allantoic fluids were collec...

Applicability of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to detect Pasteurella multocida in experimentally infected embryonated chicken egg was assessed in the present study. PCR assay rapidly and specifically detected the genome of P. multocida in amniotic fluid, allantoic fluid and homogenates of infected embryo and its membranes. The sensitivity of detection was as low as 20 bacterial cells/ml...

introduction: today, investigators pay attention to natural fluids (such as follicular and amniotic fluid) to use them as a medium or a supplement. using human amniotic fluid (haf) in some researches, not only improved in vitro development of preimplantation embryos but also significantly increased percentage of pregnancy. on the contrary, gianaroli et al. have claimed there was no significant ...

The efficacy of various culture systems was studied for the development of in-vitro produced Caprine embryos . For this purpose, 2 to 4 cell stage caprine embryos matured and fertilized under in vitro conditions were cultured with four culture systems (cumulus cell monolayers, oviductal cell monolayers, chick embryo and rabbit peritoneal fluid) and a control system (TCM-199 + FCS) for about 5 d...

amniotic fluid volume (afv) is one of the important parameters in the assessment of fetal well-being. the ability of ultrasound measurements to represent the actual afv is unproven. this study was undertaken to compare correlation of conventional amniotic fluid index (afi) and radial amniotic fluid index (rafi) as a new method with actual fluid volume on phantom. as an experimental study, 10 to...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Prenatal exposure to asymptomatic doses of domoic acid (DA) causes learning and memory deficits later in life; therefore, we sought to measure distribution of DA in maternal plasma and brain, prenatal brain, and amniotic fluid 1 hr after exposure, a time frame that normally encompasses acute seizure behavior. METHODS Pregnant rats were given a single intravenous dose...
