a bstract background: the improved physical action following administration of supplements to bodybuilders was supported by changes in laboratory parameters. despite the fact that these supplements are sometimes associated both advantage and side effects, this study were conducted for the purpose of evaluating the possible effects of some commonly used supplements in bodybuilders on the hematol...

salinomycin is a monocarboxylic polyether ionophore with antimicrobial properties. it is a dietaryadditive used as a growth promoter for ruminants and as a coccidiostat in chickens. the mechanism of actionof ionophores at the cellular level is to selectively bind certain ions creating intra and extracellularbiochemical disturbances. clinical signs of ionophore intoxication are non specific and ...

management of solid waste (flyash) has attained an apparent scenario for scientific & strategic concern in india due to large-scale dependence on coal-based thermal power plants. waste utilization as the best option of pollution-prevention and disaster risk strategy has been worked out during previous decades to open doors for flyash utilization on various sectors of developmental and manuf...

hematological parameters are suitable biomarkers for evaluating the potential risk of the chemicals. the aim of this study was to investigate of acute crude oil exposure on basic physiological functions of persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus. 210 juvenile persian sturgeon (9.4 ± 1g) were supplied by the rajaei fish farm in mazandaran province, iran.  juveniles were exposed to the crude oil (15...

introduction: cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug with several side effects on various organs such as male reproductive system that can cause infertility. in this study, we assessed combined effect of ginger and pumpkin extractson rat testis after cp injection. methods: forty adult male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group received intraperitoneal injection of isotoni...

the elm leaf beetle xanthogaleruca luteola müller (coleoptera: chrysomelidae), is a serious pest of elm (ulmus spp.) throughout iran. in the present study, lethal and sublethal effects of neem, achook® containing 0.03% azadirachtin, were assessed on mortality, growth, larval weight and feeding deterrence as well as enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities of third instar larvae of the elm leaf be...

conclusions this study showed that ifnβ-1a decreased oxidant impacts in ms patients, but had no influence in improving mitochondrial dysfunction. results in the patients group (30 patients), a significant difference was observed in their measured biochemical factors in comparison to the control group (p = 0.001), however, after six months of using ifnβ-1a, only mda was shown in the main (p = 0....

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of costmary(tanacetum balsamita)medicinal plant on performance, egg traits, and blood biochemical parameters of laying hens. hundred-eighty of hi-line laying hens (w 36) from 46 until 58 weeks of age were used in a completely randomized design in five treatments and three replicates (12 birds per replicate). the treatment...

background: fish have been at high risk of atrazine toxicity. comparative atrazine toxicity on the tissues of clarias gariepinus is scanty. therefore, acute and chronic effects of atrazine on some biochemical parameters in clarias gariepinus were investigated in this study. methods: atrazine toxicity was determined by assessing the responses of glucose, protein, alanine aminotransferase (alt), ...

background: paraquat is nonselective bipyridyl herbicide that induces hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress. vitamin c and chitosan have antioxidant as well as radical scavenger properties and show protective effects against reactive oxygen species (ros). in the present study, hepatoprotective effects of chitosan and vitamin c were evaluated in common carp exposed to paraquat. methods: while ...
