an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of feed restriction (fr) and meal feeding (mf) on performance, carcass characteristics and related parameters to ascites in ross 308 male broiler chickens. five dietary treatments were 1) the control (ad libo. feeding), 2 )feed restriction from 7 to 14 days (fr14), 3) feed restriction from 7 to 21 days (fr21), 4) meal feeding from 7 to 14 days ...

in this report, β-tubulin gene polymorphism was investigated in haemonchus contortus  populations isolated from sheep flocks in different regions of khouzestan province, southwestern iran. the samples were chosen on the basis of regional variation in benzimidazole treatment background of sheep flocks. our objective was to study the relationship between treatment background andβ -tubulin gene po...

Hyponatremia is an important and common clinical problem. The etiology is multifactorial. Hyponatremia may be euvolemic, hypovolemic or hypervolemic. Proper interpretation of the various laboratory tests helps to differentiate the various types of hyponatremia. Treatment varies with the nature of onset -acute or chronic, severity and symptoms. Normal saline forms the mainstay of treatment for h...

Recent findings in amino acid metabolism and the differences between normal, healthy cells and neoplastic cells have revealed that targeting single amino acid metabolic enzymes in cancer therapy is a promising strategy for the development of novel therapeutic agents. Arginine is derived from dietary protein intake, body protein breakdown, or endogenous de novo arginine production and several st...

Leptin, a protein hormone secreted by adipocytes, plays an important role in energy homeostasis and regulation of body composition. We previously observed that acute feed restriction resulted in a rapid decline in concentrations of leptin in obese pony mares. This acute response prompted us to characterize the temporal changes in concentrations of leptin, GH, and insulin in obese pony mares dur...

objective too much restriction of dietary proteins can cause severe protein malnutrition,which can occur in adjusting the diet for some kinds of aminoacidopathies, urea cycle disorder and organic academia. this report presents the case of a 1.5-year-old boy with history of phenylketonuria with a three weeks history of erythematous scaly plaques and edema of his extremities; he had a history of ...
