the aim of this study was to analyze the stress response during 3 hours net confinement stress and recovery period of 22 hours in normal (std) and in 17α-hydroxylase deficient common carp (e5). fish were raised for 6 months and sampled at t0 (control, unstressed), 5 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour and 3 hours of exposure to net confinement, and after 1 hour, 4 hours, and 22 hours of recovery. at ev...

background: heroin as opium is being used in two pure and impure forms with known disastrous effects on different body organs including genital system. the aim of this study was to determine the changes in testosterone secretion, the percentage of fertility, changes of the body and testis weight, and gonado somatic index in mice (ballb/c). materials and methods: a total of 90 adult male and fem...

Increases in milk yield from genetic selection may be accompanied by correlated increases in genetic susceptibility to clinical mastitis and somatic cells. Unlike clinical mastitis, somatic cell scores can be easily determined and recorded and are related to milk loss from subclinical mastitis. Selection against high somatic cell scores should decrease incidence of clinical mastitis and provide...

nitrogen components of yoghurt milk samples and resulting probiotic set yoghurt weredetermined. analyses included total nitrogen (tn), non-casein nitrogen (ncn), non-proteinnitrogen (npn), casein nitrogen (cn) and proteolysis index (pi). yoghurt samples wereanalyzed 1, 7, 14 and 21days after production and storage at 5±1°c. tn, cn and pi contentsof yoghurt milk samples with high somatic cell sc...

The differences in human motor development are determined by predispositions and living conditions. The aim of the present study was to examine relationships between motor fitness of children and adolescents aged 8-16 years (277 boys and 247 girls), and their somatic build and quality of life of their families. Body height, body mass and skinfold thickness were measured. On the basis of these m...

OBJECTIVES Recently, somatic mutations in KCNJ5, ATP1A1, ATP2B3, and CACNA1D genes were found to be associated with the pathogenesis of aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of somatic mutations in KCNJ5, ATP1A1, ATP2B3, and CACNA1D and examine the correlations between these mutations and the clinical and biochemical characteristics in Korean patien...

A new breeding value estimation procedure for mastitis traits has been implemented in the Dutch/Flemish dairy genetic evaluation. This breeding value estimation uses incidences of subclinical mastitis together with five indicator traits derived from test day somatic cell counts to predict the breeding value for resistance against subclinical and clinical mastitis (SCM and CM, resp.). The mastit...

Background: Nicotine as a toxic agent in cigarette has detrimental effects on reproduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of of nicotine on germ and somatic cells in adult mouse testis. Materials and Methods: Male mice were divided into four groups. Group A or controls, groups of B, C and D were treated with nicotine intraperitoneally in doses of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/100 g body w...
