Introduction: The aim of this research was to study the effect of a 6-week supplemented diet on increasing bone density by measuring calcium, phosphorus and bone mineral density (BMD) in male rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 24 Wistar male rats, aged between 15 and 20 days, were selected. The rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: immune system supplement (ISS), ...

Background: Inflammatory responses in individuals exposed to sulfur mustard occur in some organs such as lung, skin and eyes. These organs manifest overreaction in cellular and humoral immune responses. Over a long period, the immune responses often continues toward chronic inflammatory processes with some interventions. Obviously some elements have been deregulated. Therefore, this study evalu...

although the indian population is largely vegetarian, not much attention has been given to the cultivation of vegetables, as compared to other crops like cereals, pulses and oil seeds. therefore, the present study was conducted on two leafy vegetables, spinach (spanacia oleracea l.) and methi (trigonella foenum graecum l.) commonly grown in aligarh, as the two popular vegetables of indian diet....

background: the knowledge of blood parameters is important for assessing the physiological status and health of animals. objectives: this study was conducted to determine the effect of heavy pregnancy on some serum indices of dromedary camels. methods: twenty clinically healthy female dromedary camels aged between 4-5 years were divided into two equal groups: i: pregnant camels in their last tr...

The main reasons for the fixation of some elements and consequently nutrient deficiencies, especially phosphorus, iron and zinc, are high levels of calcium (calcareous soils) and soil pH. Two sulfur fertilizers (sulfur alone and sulfur + organic material + Thiobacillus spp.) with two rates (2 and 4 kg sulfur/tree) were used to decrease soil pH and availability of P, Fe and Zn in apple trees dur...

There is a distinct possibility that phytate negatively influences protein and energy utilisation in poultry and, as these influences would be ameliorated by phytase, there are substantial, practical implications. Despite several thousand scientific papers and a rapidly growing market the use of phytase and the importance of phytate in practical poultry nutrition remains an area of some confusi...

GUROFF, GORDON, HECTOR F. DELUCA, AND HARRY STEENBOCK. Citrate and action of vitamin D on calcium and phosphow metabolism. Am. J. Physiol. 20&J: 833-836. 1c~63.-Pantothenic acid and pyridoxine deficiencies in rats greatly minimized the rise in serum citrate following vitamin D administration without affecting the rise in serum calcium, serum phosphorus, and femur ash. In addition, pyridoxine de...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE magnesium ion concentration is directly related and phosphorus ion concentration is inversely related to calcemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of magnesium and phosphorus ion levels in patients undergoing thyroidectomy and correlate these with changes to calcium concentration. DESIGN AND SETTING prospective study at the Alpha Institute of Gastroen...
