The physiological performance and biochemical parameters of sixteen adult New-Zealand White rabbit males of 6 months old and 2.5 ± 0.14 kg live body weight was investigated during spring and summer seasons in natural conditions. The maximum and minimum ambient temperatures were 27.1 oC and 18.9 oC in spring versus 32.2 oC and 26.5 oC in summer, while the average relative humidity was 86.1 % in ...

Background: Milk fever in cattle, sheep and goats occurs  around the time of parturition and is caused by hypocalcemia. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological effects of experimental hypocalcemia on electrocardiography, hematology and serum biochemical changes in Markhoz goat breed. METHODS: Ethylene diamine tetra- acetate solution 4.6% was intravenously infused ...

Diclofenac sodium and diclofenac potassium in tablet dosage form were tested for their bioavailability and disposition kinetics in a group of 18 rabbits in normal and Escherichia coli induced febrile condition with a washout period of 7 days. Biochemical and physiological parameters were measured in both normal and febrile state. Diclofenac levels in plasma were determined using a reversed-phas...

The Objective For The Present Study Is To Investigate Of The Effects Of Melatonin (Mel) On Serum Leptin, Testosterone, Liver Function Test Parameters In Control And Pinealectomized (Pinx) Rats. Thirty Seven Adult Male Rats Were Used In This Study. The Experimental Rats Were Divided Into Six Groups, And The Treatments Were Continued For Six Weeks As The Following: Group 1: Control Rats. Group 2:...

Mules and hinnies are hybrid offspring from donkeys (Equus asinus) and horses (Equus caballus). Little scientific information is known regarding mules and even less is known about hinnies the reciprocal cross. There have only been a few studies that have attempted to define commonalities and differences of these hybrids especially in terms of comparing and contrasting them to their sires and da...

The present study aimed at investigating the effects of copper and zinc in Vigna mungo (L.) growth and metabolism. Physiological parameters decrease consequently with increasing copper and zinc concentration in nutrient medium. Copper at 0.2mM concentration led to 32.12% and 47.82% reduction in fresh weight and dry weight respectively whereas, zinc at 1.50mM concentration resulted in 23.83% and...

A plantation trial of six selected clones of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. laid out in randomized block design at four sites in northern India during July, 1996 was evaluated for growth, physiological and biochemical parameters. Genotype-site interactions were significant for collar diameter increment, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, photosynthetic pigments, total solubl...
