Background Any factor like diabetes that changes the oxidant/antioxidant balance in favor of oxidants could possibly disrupt the physiologic function of ovaries. So, we have investigated the effect of vitamin E and Se supplements on antioxidant defense in ovaries of diabetic rats with focus on Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO) and Aldehyde oxidase (AO) activities.

the objective of this study was to determine the effects of hulled and hull-less barley grains’ chemical treatment on disappearance of dry matter (dm), starch and cncps carbohydrate fractions. for barley grain treatment, naoh, formaldehyde and urea were used at 35, 4 and 35 gr/kg dm respectively. three mature rams (one year old) of zel breed were rumen cannulated to calculate ruminal disappeara...

The chemical composition, in situ  rumen degradability coefficients of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP), in vitro gas production and in vivo  digestibility were evaluated for olive cake (OC) silage treated (DM basis) with different additives as follows: (1) untreated OC; (2) OC, 8% molasses and 0.4% formic acid and (3) OC, 8% molasses, 0.4% formic acid and 0.5% urea. After addition of the...

abstract objective: diabetes mellitus (dm) is a systemic disease affecting different tissues. hyperglycemia due to dm can lead to degenerative changes in spinal tissue. also low data have examined the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in lumbar spinal canal stenosis individuals. therefore the purpose of this study was determining the frequency of dm in lumbar spinal canal stenosis patients. mater...

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is an emerging treatment option for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) producing higher overall response and complete remission rates compared with unlabelled antibodies. However, the majority of patients treated with conventional or myeloablative doses of radiolabelled antibodies relapse. The development of RIT with alpha-emitters is attractive for a variety of cancers because...

the objectives of this study were to determine and compare the chemical composition and ruminal degradability of dry matter (dm), crude protein (cp), neutral detergent fiber (ndf) and acid detergent fiber (adf) of ten pasture forage species dominant in the west provinces of iran. duplicate nylon bags of pasture samples were suspended in the rumen of four wethers for up to 96 h. the chemical com...

Sixteen multiparous lactating buffaloes after 8 weeks of calving and weighing 500 to 600 kg were used in a complete switch-back design with four groups. Buffaloes in the first group were fed the control ration (R1) consisted of DM basis of 60% concentrate feed mixture (CFM)+20% rice straw (RS)+20% berseem hay (BH), while in the other groups the rations consisted of DM basis of 40% CFM+20% RS+40...
