background: this study investigated the protective effects of aqueous extracts of anogeissus leiocarpus (dc) guill & perr (combretaceae) and terminalia avicennioides guill & perr (combretaceae) root barks, as well as their 1:1 (w/w) mixture on liver redox and haematological parameters of diethylnitrosamine-treated rats. methods: rats were orally administered distilled water, diethylnitrosamine ...

The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of root-knot nematode infection on the growth of kenaf. Seeds of sixteen (16) varieties of kenaf, comprising of eight from Australia, three local and five accessions from Bangladesh were planted under controlled condition and inoculated with four level of 0, 1000, 5000 and 10000 RKN eggs per plant. The growth parameters of height, sta...

Haematological parameters in Albino rats were altered after exposure to sodium fluoride. Static bioassay experiments were conducted to find out Lc50 with the administration of oral dose of 10.00ppm of Naf per kg of body weight to adult healthy albino rats. The experimental doses were set up for the three groups of animals each having 4 animals for 30, 60 & 90 days time interval. Blood samples w...

in the present study, the age- and sex-specific changes of various haematological and blood serum biochemical blood parameters of beluga ( huso huso ) were investigated. blood samples were collected from 4-, 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old beluga (n = 7 for each sex and age). the specimens were fed at a rate of 0.5-3% body weight per day. ast and ldh levels in 7- and 8-year-old fish of both sexes were s...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of soya bean supplement blood glucose levels and haematological parameters on alloxan-induced diabetes in Wistar rats. The animals were grouped into four groups of five rats in each group. Diabetes was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of Alloxan monohydrate at a dose of 150mg/kg body weight. The animals were fed with 25% and 50% of the...

AIM To determine whether iron metabolism influences the incidence of systemic fungal infection in patients with haematological malignancies. METHODS The study population comprised 74 patients who had undergone myeloablative chemotherapy. Systemic fungal infections were classified as confirmed (histological confirmation or characteristic septate hyphae) or possible (antibiotic resistant fever ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antidiabetic properties of aqueous extract of stem bark of Afzelia africana (A. africana) and its beneficial effect on haematological parameters in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. METHODS A total of 30 rats including 24 diabetic and 6 normal rats were used for this study. Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin...

Background: The harmful components of tobacco smoke nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide affect different haematological parameters. Heroin affects almost every system of the body including blood and its components. The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of cigarette smoking and heroin abuse on haematological parameters especially erythrocyte indices. Method: The present stu...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding fresh Gliricidia sepium leaves as supplement to basal diet of dried cassava peel on the haematological parameters of West African Dwarf sheep and goats in a completely randomized design experiment. Twelve each of WAD sheep and goat were randomly divided into three groups of four animals per group for both sheep and goats. The three ...
