this study was conducted because of influence of prebiotics (alphamune) and symbiotic (biomin) on histometrical development of small intestine and lymphatic tissue of caecal tonsil have been not reported on broiler chicken. in this study, different parts of small intestine and caecal tonsil, which is a major area of gut associated lymphatic tissue (galt) in chicken were selected. one hundred an...

OBJECTIVES Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is often associated with cryoglobulinaemia (CG). Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a comparatively common complication of CG associated with HCV infection and it is thought to be attributable to nerve ischaemia. Only few HCV CG patients with PN have been reported. The recent finding of HCV RNA in nerve biopsy specimens has suggested a possible direct rol...

BACKGROUND: Considering widely administration of methylphenidate and also its immunosuppressive effects on different organs, importance of related microscopic studies is obvious. OBJECTIVES: Determining histological effects of methylphenidate on adrenal glands and lymphatic organs in mice. METHODS: A total number of 30 adult male Balb/C mice were provided, weighed and divided into one control a...

ylin, aldehyde thionin-PAS-luxol fast blue, alcian blue-orange G and azan. There was a tendency that thyrotrophs began to decrease in number between the 90th and 300th day after operation. Histometrically, the hypertrophied gonadotrophs, whether or not they became signet-ring cells, were found to increase gradually in number. The cell-height of thyroid follicles increased about twice as much as...

Dietary supplementations with L-glutamine and/or nucleotides were screened for their effects on intestinal mucosa in 16 female weaning piglets. The animals were transported to the university's facilities 24 hours after weaning. They were grouped four to a pen in controlled environmental conditions and fed one of the following four diets for 28 days: control diet (C); C+0.5% L-glutamine (G); C+0...

Background: Histological and histometrical effects of Fennel Essential Oil (FEO) on ovary structure were studied during postnatal development in female wistar rats. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the female rats, after parturition divided in control, sham and experimental groups with equal number of female pups for each mother at random. Sham 1 and experimental 1 groups consisted of m...

Background: Rat prostate gland which is used in various investigation has considerable morphological differences with other mammals. There are few reports about its structure. So, this study was carried on for determining of histomorphological structure of rat prostate. Materials and Methods: Five healthy adult male rats with average weight 20 ± 180 g and approximately 3 - 3.5 months age were s...
