PURPOSE To evaluate macro and microscopically the evolution of autotransplants of fragments of spleen different fragments in the greater omentum, after eight weeks of observation. METHODS Twenty rats Wistar were used, males and adults, submitted to total splenectomy and divided in two groups. The group I - ten animals with implant of spleen fragment (25% weight of spleen) in the omentum; and ...

this study was carried out on olive trees cv. amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, kno3, and zinc sulfate, znso4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. the plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% kno3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% znso4 and their combinations in august about halfway through the fruit growth period. the highest fruit weight was observe...

OBJECTIVE To explore the antispermatogenic and testicular antisteroidogenic activities of Feronia limonia fruit pulp southern India. METHODS Fourty Wistar male albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) were equally divided into four groups. Experimental groups were administered with the ethanolic extract of Feronia limonia (F. limoni) fruit pulp at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight once daily for ...

The present study was designed to investigate antihyperlipidemic activity of dried pulp of Aloe succotrina leaves in Wistar albino rats. Hyperlipidemia was induced in rats by feeding them high fat diet (HFD) or D-fructose (25% w/v) for 4 successive weeks. From 15th to 28th day, dried pulp (100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o) and atorvastatin (10 mg/kg, p.o.) per se were administered 2 h prior to feeding ra...

Introduction: Investigating the effects of colocynth pulp on levels of testosterone and changes in the reproductive system organs in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: In this study, 32 Wistar rats were divided into four groups of normal (N), normal+colocynth pulp (N+C), diabetic control (D), and diabetic+colocynth pulp (D+C). Groups N and D received orally 2 mL normal saline for tw...

Methods: Eighty bovine pulp fragments were prepared, and their weight was determined using a precision balance. Each pulp fragment was immersed for 2 hours in a solution/mixture that was based on the following groups: G1 – saline solution; G2 – 0.5% NaOCl; G3 – 1.0% NaOCl; G4 – 2.5% NaOCl; G5 – 17% EDTA; G6 – 0.5% NaOCl+17% EDTA; G7 – 1.0% NaOCl+ 17% EDTA; and G8 – 2.5% NaOCl+17% EDTA. The fina...

A total of 629 Duroc×Landrace×Large White crossbred pigs were utilized in three experiments (Exp. 1, 222 pigs weighing 25.6±2.0 kg BW; Exp. 2, 216 pigs weighing 56.2±4.3 kg BW; Exp. 3, 191 pigs weighing 86.4±4.6 kg BW) conducted to determine the effects of fermented potato pulp on performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass traits and plasma parameters in growingfinishing pigs. Each experiment...

in order to investigate effects of partial replacement of starch with neutral detergent soluble fiber (ndsf) on weekly weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, digestibility and some histopathological changes of rumen, 16 lambs were used in completely randomized design. the experimental period was 70 days. dietary treatments were 1- control (high starch), 2- beet pulp, 18 percent, 3- be...

A study was undertaken to analyses the heritability, correlation and path co-efficient for growth and fruit characters in twenty ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam) genotypes grown at Fruit Research Farm under Horticulture Research Centre, BARI during January to June 2006. The highest range of variation was recorded in fruit weight (6.63-44.72 g), followed by yield per plant (14.88 64.99 kg), stone w...
