The histopathological studies of earthworm (Aporrectodea longa) exposed to cadmium was investigated. 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg for 30 days in the laboratory. procedure exposure according Organisation Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) #207 recommended method testing chemicals. There were three replicates per treatment 5 earthworms jar soil spiked with cadmium. Control groups also prepare...

This study aimed to determine the best percentage of A. microphylla flour on carcass weight, abdominal fat percentage, gizzard weight and intestine length broiler. research was conducted in March--April 2021 at PT. Sinar Ternak Sejahtera farm 5 Wonodadi Village, South Lampung Regency, Province. Carcass processing carried out Livestock Production Laboratory Department Animal Husbandry, Faculty A...

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive method of evaluating embryonic development. Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging, which is based on the measuring the directional diffusivity of water molecules, is an established method of evaluating tissue structure. Prolonged imaging times have precluded the use of embryonic diffusion tensor imaging due to motion artifact. Using t...

Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) is a devastating disease of chickens caused by Fowl adenovirus (FAdV) and molecular studies hexon gene important for classification FAdV isolates, epidemiology IBH infection development effective control strategy. The objective the study was to molecularly characterize isolates obtained from field outbreaks in broiler chicken 2017 2019. Liver gizzard samples named...

The expression of a gene encoding an embryonic chick pepsinogen was investigated in developing avian gut. Expression is restricted to the epithelial layer of the embryonic proventriculus (glandular stomach). We can therefore regard this gene as a marker gene for proventricular epithelial differentiation. There is some considerable evidence in favour of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions being ...

The concentrations of iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr) in chicken meat, chicken gizzard and turkey meat consumed in southern Nigeria were determined after nitric acid/perchloric acid digestion using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The order of the elements in the chicken meat, chicken gizzard and turk...

Astaxanthin (ASX) is a xanthophyll pigment isolated from crustaceans and salmonids. Owing to its powerful antioxidant activity, ASX has been reported to have the potential to protect against gastric ulcers and a variety of other illnesses. Histamine (His) is a dietary factor that causes gastric erosion and ulceration in young chicks. In this study, we examined whether ASX had protective effects...

Blebbistatin is a myosin II-specific inhibitor. However, the mechanism and tissue specificity of the drug are not well understood. Blebbistatin blocked the chemotaxis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) toward sphingosylphosphorylcholine (IC(50) = 26.1 +/- 0.2 and 27.5 +/- 0.5 microM for GbaSM-4 and A7r5 cells, respectively) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (IC(50) = 32.3 +/- 0.9 and 3...

Vinculin from chicken gizzard and from pig heart may be separated by twodimensional gel electrophoresis into several isoelectrophoretic forms. Peptide map analysis and immunochemical comparison of the different isovinculins indicated that all the isoforms are closely interrelated at the molecular level. Moreover, it was shown that avian and mammalian vinculins have similar molecular structures....
