Background: Prolonged storage of blood leads to alteration in RBCs biochemistry which may lose viability with time. Aim: This study was planned to observe biochemical changes on stored blood on 19 different analytes. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on blood donated by 30 healthy volunteer donors. Effect of storage was analyzed at 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days interval. Biochemical param...

The biochemical era of blood coagulation research begins toward the end of the 19th century, primarily with the work of Alexander Schmidt1 and Paul Morawitz,2 who hypothesized that the fundamental reactions involved in clotting included the activation of prothrombin to thrombin by thromboplastins and the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin by thrombin. Throughout the first half of the twentieth ...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of oyster mushroom on performance and blood biochemical characteristics in Japanese quails (Coturnix Japonica). A total of 240 seven day old mix sexes quail chicks were randomly allocated to four experimental groups. Each treatment consisted of three replicate pens with 20 birds. Experimental groups included 0, 0.5, 1, 2% oyster mushroom in...

Prospective data from 86 healthy pet rabbits were evaluated to establish reference intervals for hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, venous blood gas and electrolytes, rectal temperature and systolic blood pressure. Reference intervals for rectal temperature (37.4-39.6 ºC) and systolic blood pressure (75-134 mm/Hg) were previously unreported in pet rabbits. Differences by more than 30% with r...
