This study conducted in Kerala, evaluated the role of conservation tillage (zero (ZT), minimum (MT), and conventional (CT)) with five treatment combination potassium (12 kg/ha, 20 40 kg/ha) magnesium sulphate (60 kg/ha 80 on total DMP, physiology grain yield test variety Anaswara (cowpea). In pot culture study, application K: MgSO4, 10:80 resulted highest chlorophyll content. While higher a con...

WRAUN, ELDON J., ~%LLCAM 1% J)ANTZLER. Function of mamunalian-type and reptilian-type nephrons in kidney of desert quail. Am. J. Physiol. 222(3): 617-629. I972.---Bird kidneys have mammaliantype (MT) as well as reptilian-type (RT) nephrons. Wholekidney and individual nephron functions were studied in the desert quail during a control diuresis and during 6% NaCl infusion. Glomerular filtration r...

An experiment was conducted to estimate relative bioavailability of Zn in 3 organic zinc sources with different chelation strength (Q(f)) compared with ZnSO(4). A total of 1,092, 1-d-old male broiler chicks were assigned randomly to 6 replicate cages (14 chicks per cage) for each of 13 treatments. Dietary treatments included the basal corn-soybean meal diet (27.82 mg of Zn/kg of DM) supplemente...

Two experiments were conducted to study the efficacy of a low inclusion commercialHSCAS (Myco-Ad) in preventing the deleterious effects of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB) andOchratoxin A (OCA) in broiler chicks. Arbor Acres broiler males individually cagedwere used in both experiments. The feed was experimentally contaminated with syntheticAFB or OCA from Sigma Labs, USA. In Experiment 1, 96...

Purpose: The therapeutic benefit derived from the clinical use of tramadol (TD) has been characterized by hepatotoxicity due to misuse and abuse. The implications of drug-induced hepatotoxicity include socio-economic burden which makes the search for remedy highly imperative. The present study investigated the protective effects of melatonin (MT) and n-acetylcysteine (NAC) on TD-induced hepatot...

metallothionein (mt) manifests varying expression levels in carcinomas, and they may be considered as valuable cell cancerization biomarkers for diagnosis of patients with cancers. a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate comprehensively the mt expression difference in various benign tumors and malignant tumors, which compared the high with low mt expression levels in patients of the available...

Zinc is the trace element involved in more biological functions than any other micromineral in the nutrition of the newly weaned pig. Its role in growth via protein synthesis and antioxidant defense makes it a key nutrient in the diet of the newly weaned nursery pig for maximum lean tissue growth and health. In this study, 500 pigs (5 pigs/pen) were weaned at approximately 18 d of age and fed 0...

Many kinds of mutations in mitochondrial (mt) DNA have been reported to be related to the development of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), this type of diabetes has also been shown to be influenced by other genetic factors and/or environmental factors. Among them, tRNALeu(UUR) and its adjacent mtDNA NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1(ND1) region within the mt genome are linked to high susceptibility to DM. A p...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), Smad2/3 and Smad7 expressions in carotid artery remodeling in renovascular hypertensive rats, and also the therapeutic effect of Enalapril and Amlodipine. METHODS The renovascular hypertensive rat (RHR) models with "two-kidney and one-clip" were established, including model group (n = 6), sham-operated group (n = 6),...

The HA1 domain of HA, the major antigenic protein of influenza A viruses, contains all of the antigenic sites of HA and is under continual immune-driven selection. To resolve controversies on whether only a few or many residue sites of HA1 have undergone positive selection, whether positive selection at HA1 is continual or punctuated, and whether antigenic change is punctuated, we introduce an ...
