the effects of chromium methionine supplementation on performance and serummetaboliteswere evaluated in broiler chickens.two experiments were conducted at22 oc, thermoneutral, (tn) and33±2 oc, heat stressed (hs) conditions. two hundred and eighty eight male broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to four treatments in a completely randomized design. treatments with 0 (control), 200, 400 or 800...

Thirty-six wild-caught woodchucks (Marmota monax) were charac terized according to sex, weight, trapping locality, liver pathology, and serum or hepatic markers of woodchuck hepatitis virus. Liver subcellular fractions were assayed for microsomal cytochromes P-450, aryl hydro carbon hydroxylase, glutathione, cytosolic enzymes involved in its metab olism (glutathione S-transferase, glutathione p...

hydrochloride (10 mg three times a day for as long as 20 days) did not affect values for 17-hydroxycorticosteroids. In vitro data do show that there is a small increase in the apparent value for urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids when chlordiazepoxide or its lactam or N-despiethyl metabolite is added to urine. However, this increase does not appear to be large enough to be of significance. The f...

BACKGROUND We previously reported that serum N1-methylnicotinamide (me-Nam), an indicator of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase activity, is associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus in Chinese patients. However, whether nicotinamide N-methyltransferase plays a role in human coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be elucidated. We aim to investigate the associations of serum me-Nam with CAD...

background: acantholimon gilliati turril(plumbaginaceae) is used in variety of diseases including hepatic ailments in the west region of iran. aim of the study: to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of methanoilc extract (me) of a. gilliati on formaldehyde (fa) induced liver injury in adult male mice.materials and methods: fifty six adult male mice were divided into 8 groups. in control gr...

Immunological dysregulation is present in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), with recent studies also highlighting the importance of examining symptom severity. This research addressed this relationship between CFS/ME severity subgroups, assessing serum immunoglobulins and serum cytokines in severe and moderate CFS/ME patients. Participants included healthy controls (n...

We developed a sensitive and accurate analytical method for quantifying methyleugenol (ME) in human serum. Our method uses a simple solid-phase extraction followed by a highly specific analysis using isotope dilution gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry. Our method is very accurate; its limit of detection is 3.1 pg/g and its average coefficient of variation is 14% over a 200-pg/...

At 50 d prior to predicted calving, 37 multiparous Angus cows were grouped by sire of mating, age and weight of cow and placed on either a high energy (HE, n = 19) diet or a moderate energy (ME, n = 18) diet. Objectives were to determine the effect of prepartum nutrition on: prepartum serum concentrations of estrone (E1), estrone sulfate (E1SO4) and progesterone (P4); pre- and postpartum cow bo...
