This study aims to determine the effect of red dragon (Hylocereus polyrhizus) fruit peel extract (RDFPE) on spermatozoa motility and viability hypercholesterolemic rats (Rattus norvegicus) as a model. Twenty male were randomly divided into negative control (NC), positive (PC), treatment 1 (T1), 2 (T2), 3 (T3) groups. All given mL high cholesterol feed orally every day for 28 days. On day-15, al...

ABSTRACT Broiler diets are based on corn, soybean and wheat production; however, some protein ingredients have many antinutritional factors low digestibility. The objective of this study was to add a blend exogenous enzymes the feed with nutritional value for broilers reduce production costs improve digestibility while maintaining good zootechnical performance. experimental design completely ra...

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is prevalent in 15%-40% of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients at diagnosis. In this investigation, we study brain intra- and inter-network alterations in resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) in recently diagnosed PD patients and characterise them as either cognitive normal (PD-NC) or with MCI (PD-MCI). Patients were divided into two groups...

Abstract Background Oral lichen planus (OLP), a common clinical oral disease, is associated with an increased risk of malignant transformation. The mechanism underlying the pathogenesis OLP unknown. dysbacteriosis reported to be one aetiological factors OLP. Although Helicobacter pylori infection various diseases, correlation between H. and unclear. This study aimed investigate effect on microb...

The aim of the present study was to investigate distracter inhibition ability for emotional faces in depression using a negative affective priming (NAP) task combined with event-related potentials (ERP). The reaction times and the ERP amplitudes were recorded during the task. In a first behavioral experiment, control participants (NC), participants who were currently remitted (RMD), and partici...

Objective- The healing effect of chitosan supported cerium oxide nanoparticles (nano-CeO2) on cutaneous experimental excisional wound infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied in rat. Design- Experimental Study. Animals- Sixty male albino rats. Procedures- The chitosan supported nano-CeO2 hydrogel was prepared and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectro...

A total of 96 pigs (49.23±3.20 kg) were used in an 11 wk growth trial to evaluate the effect of fermentable carbohydrate (FC) content on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrient, blood profile, and meat quality. The dietary treatments were: i) negative control (NC), basal diet, ii) positive control (PC), NC+antibiotics (positive control diet with 5 ppm flavomyci...

Pigs digest P in plant feedstuffs poorly because pigs do not produce sufficient endogenous phytase to hydrolyze P from phytate (inositol hexaphosphate). Supplementation of phytase to diets of piglets and grower-finisher pigs increased digestibility of minerals including P and Ca; however, data on phytase efficacy in lactating sows are scarce. Therefore, effects of adding a bacterial 6-phytase e...

Background: The application of phytogenic additives in the form of essential oils have attracted considerable attention in poultry industry. OBJECTIVES: An experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of the blends of essential oils (EO) isolated from some medicinal plants including savory, thyme, fennel and rosemary on performance, blood metabolites, intestinal microflora, and meat quality of...
