An antiserum against human epidermal keratins was used to detect keratins in frozen sections of various rabbit and human tissues by indirect immunofluorescence. Strong staining was observed in all stratified squamous epithelia (epidermis, cornea, conjunctiva, tongue, esophagus, vagina, and anus), in epidermal appendages (hair follicle, sebaceous gland, ductal and myoepithelial cells of sweat gl...

Acute and subchronic toxicities of Chantaleela recipe were studied in both male and female rats. Oral administration of the extract at a single dose of 5,000 mg/kg body weight (5 females, 5 males) did not produce signs of toxicity, behavioral changes, mortality or differences on gross appearance of internal organs. The subchronic toxicity was determined by oral feeding the test substance at the...

1. A genome scan was performed to locate genomic regions associated with traits that are known to vary in birds (most commonly broilers) suffering from heart, lung or muscular dysfunction and for weight of the dressed carcass and some internal organs. 2. The F2 population studied was derived from a cross between a broiler and a layer line and consisted of over 460 birds that were genotyped for ...

Study was carried out to find out the effect of L-carnitine supplementation on carcass characteristics in Venncobb broiler chicks fed with diet containing animal fat. Eighty day old commercial broiler chicks were randomly allotted to two treatment groups (T1 and T2) with four replicates of ten chicks each. The birds were fed with standard broiler chicken ration (BIS, 1992) containing 5% animal ...

Selective breeding of rohu, Labeo rohita to Aeromonas hydrophila infection requires a challenge model to obtain LD50 dose and study of bacterial persistence in survivors’ tissues. Fish were bath challenged with various routes viz., only immersion, after scale removal (with and without high stocking), after skin abrasion (with and without high stocking), under only high stocking density and afte...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics carcass yields and internal external organs broilers fed diets containing fermented moringa leaf meal (FMOL) + yellow corn (YC), moringa-corn (MC) diet formulated replace parts commercial (CD). As many as 100 DOC broiler chicken strain CP 707 were reared for up 5 weeks feed experimental diets. A Block Randomized Design (BRD) with sub...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the ability of silybum marianum seeds (sms) on performance, carcass variables, and liver morphology of the broiler chickens contaminated with aflatoxin b1 (afb1). a total of 216 broiler chicks (ross 308) were used. birds were randomly assigned to nine treatment groups, with four replicates and six birds in each replicate. chickens were reared on litter ...

The Society of Toxicologic Pathology convened a working group to evaluate current practices regarding organ weights in toxicology studies. A survey was distributed to pharmaceutical, veterinary, chemical, food/nutritional and consumer product companies in Europe, North America, and Japan. Responses were compiled to identify organs routinely weighed for various study types in rodent and non-rode...

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) includes the quintessence of classical Chinese philosophy, culture, and science from ancient Chinese history [1] . The earliest description of viscus in TCM is found in the handbook Huangdi Neijing , which termed viscus as zangxiang (臟象). “ zang ” (臟) refers to internal organ in Chinese, “ xiang ” (象) means manifestation of image or phenomenon. When used toget...
