artificial fertilizers and mainly organophosphate herbicide are used by farmers to enhance their crop and control pests. in order to investigate the effects of pretilachlore, fingerlings of caspian roach were exposed to a range of concentrations of toxin close to those of estuary for 96 h. due to movement of these fingerlings in a gradient of salinity from freshwater to brackishwater some physi...

The present study investigated the possible protective effect of Helicteres isora (Sterculiaceae) bark extracts on certain biochemical markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in rats. STZ treatment (60 mg/kg/i.p) caused a hyperglycemic state that led to various physiological and biochemical alterations. Blood levels of glucose, urea, uric acid and creatinine, plasma levels of albumin a...

objective(s): the impact of fasting in ramadan as a unique type of nutritional regimen on biochemical and hematological parameters is still an issue of debate. almost very little is known regarding the regulatory role(s) of this nutritional status on immune responses or inflammation.   materials and methods:   the levels of biochemical parameters were determined using commercial diagnostic kits...

objective the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the ketogenic diet on the growth parameters of the children with resistant epilepsy. materials & methods a total of 36 children with resistant epilepsy who were 2 to 7 year old were put on the ketogenic diet. their growth and biochemical parameters were studied at the beginning of the study and after 3 months. results weight decrease...

the effect of starvation and re-feeding was investigated on growth, hematology and biochemical parameters in juvenile persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus). three hundred and seventyfive fish (108±0.63 g) were divided into five feeding groups. the control group (c) was fed to satiation three times a day during the experiment. the four groups were starved for 1 (w1), 2 (w2), 3 (w3), and 4 (w4) w...

Using phytobiotics as fish feed additives has interestingly increased during the recent decade. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of individual and combined levels of thyme and vitamin E in common carp. Juveniles were separately fed four distinct diets including a control diet (commercial diet without any additive), a diet supplemented with 1% ground Shirazi thyme, diet su...

Background: Paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide, widely used to control weeds in agriculture farms and aquatic plants in surface waters. Paraquat can have adverse effects on the health of aquatic organisms. The aim of this study was to detect the alterations in the blood biochemical parameters of common carp exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of commercial formulations of paraquat. ...

The researches included Polish Landrace (PL) breed pigs and Polish Large White (PLW) x PL and PLW x Duroc crossbreds. During the fattening season, blood was collected for biochemical analyses four times. Blood plasma was examined to determine the content of total protein, albumin, creatinine, urea, uric acid, total bilirubin, cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose as well as a level of indicato...
