This study was carried out to investigate blood biochemical alteration in albino rats after cypermethrin treatment. Nitrogen contents of blood in the albino rats have been influenced by the amount of cypermethrin used for toxicity in the acute (1d) and sub chronic (7,14and21days) treatment in the present investigation. The free amino acid, total protein, urea, urea nitrogen, uric acid and creat...

To find an effective prevention method for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), three indices from experimental and control group pigs, namely, routine blood index, serum biochemical indicators, and conventional cell factor contents of serum, are inspected. The prevention and treatment of PRRS effect are evaluated, feeding pigs with Daitai. Results show that traditional Chinese...

In this study, we assessed the effect of a humic-fatty acid preparation (HFA) used in rabbit feed on certain haematological and biochemical serum parameters (the lipid profile and the Ca, P and Fe contents). A higher RBC, HGB and HCT values were observed in the groups that were given HFA. An increase in Fe concentrations were also noted. The total and LDL cholesterol were lower in the groups wh...

Microbial and biochemical analyses of soil under winter wheat in a field trial with various cultivation systems (organic, conventional and monoculture) were performed during 3 growing seasons: 2001, 2002 and 2003. The activities of the tested enzymes (dehydrogenase and phosphatases) and microbial biomass C and N contents in the monoculture soil were generally significantly lower than those in t...

The ability of the biochemical measurements, haem iron, intramuscular fat (IMF%), moisture content, and total, soluble and insoluble collagen contents, to predict untrained consumer sensory scores both across different muscles and within the same muscle from different carcasses were investigated. Sensory scores from 540 untrained French consumers (tenderness, flavour liking, juiciness and overa...

Encyclopedic metabolic networks capture the sum of human knowledge of biochemical reactions and substrates as found across a multitude of organisms, and not one particular organism. A method for large-scale alignment of two such encyclopedic metabolic networks, KEGG and MetaCyc, has been designed to allow for a systematic comparison of their contents. A variety of methods for matching reactions...

A 51-year-old woman, with a medical history of abnormal Pap smears, extended menstrual cycles, and Barrett’s esophagus, underwent an upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound for abnormal findings on a computed tomography scan. The ultrasound characterized a peripherally calcified, multicystic, and septated lesion that was close to both the pancreatic tail and the upper pole of the left kidn...

Colloid cysts represent between 0.25-1 % of intracranial tumors [1-3]. Although most frequently located in the third ventricle, they are also found throughout the ventricular system [4]. Extraventricular location is rare [5]. We describe a case of a neuroepithelial cyst located in the craniocervical region, which was examined by CT and vertebral angiography, with subsequent biochemical study of...

The biochemical characteristics of dermal iridophore crystals from Anolis carolinensis have been investigated. Iridophores isolated by collangenase-hyaluronidase treatment were sonicated and their contents fractionated through sucrose. Pure iridophore crystals so obtained were examined by chromatography and electron diffraction. They were found to be pure hydrated crystalline form. The sugg...
