Decreased serum T3 concentrations in elderly subjects and their possible relationship with the development of dementia have been indicated. To see the effects of a passive increase in the serum T3 concentration, low dose T3 administration was undertaken. Forty-four subjects from 65 to 93 years of age (average 81.0 +/- 7.8) were divided into 2 groups. The grade of dementia was determined by Hase...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect nicotine lozenge on teeth staining with/without bleaching in animal model study. A total 15 Wistar rats were exposed an acrylic container 10 cigarettes smoke three times a day for 8 minutes per time, and sacrificed after 60 days. 30 incisor treated (n=10) as following: Group-1: in-office bleaching, at-home immersion artificial saliva; group-2: at...

While 3, 3', 5'-triiodothyronine (reverse T3, rT3) has been detected both in human serum and in thyroglobulin, no quantitative assessment of its metabolic clearance rate (MCR), production rate (PR), or secretion by the thyroid is yet available. This study examines this information in euthyroid subjects and evaluates it in light of similar information about two other iodothyronines in the thyroi...

In order to compare the effect of 3,5,3'-triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) with those of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), severely hypothyroid rats (n=56) were infused over 13 days with 1, 2 or 4 nmol/100 g body weight (BW) per day of T3 or 2, 4 or 8 nmol/100 g BW per day of T4 or TRIAC. The 8 nmol/100 g BW per day of T4 or TRIAC induced the same increase in resting metabolic rate, yet 4...

Low T3 syndrome was previously reported to be linked to poor clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive power of low T3 syndrome for clinical outcomes in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Data for 503 patients were analyzed retrospectively, and the primary end point was 30-day mortality. The intensive care unit (ICU) admiss...

The present work aimed at studying growth pattern and carcass traits in pearl grey guinea fowl fed on dietary Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf powder (NLP) over a period of 12 weeks. Day old guinea fowl keets (n=120) were randomly assigned to four treatment groups, each with 3 replicates. The first treatment was designated as control (T0) in which no supplement was added to the feed, while in tre...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of withdrawing vitamin and/or trace mineral premixes from grower and finisher diets of broilers. a 2×4 factorial arrangement of treatments, consisting of four diets and two-removal times (from 28 to 49, and from 35 to 49 days of age) was utilized. the four diets consisted of control, supplemented with vitamin (vit) and trace minerals (tm)(t1); ...

Two rabbits (TG-1, TG-2) were immunized with human thyroglobulin (HTg) and bled serially. Antisera were obtained at different times after the first immunization and kept separately and studied. In both rabbits production of anti-HTg, and anti-thyroid hormone antibodies such as anti-thyroxine (T4) and anti-triiodothyronine (T3) antibodies was observed. Binding parameters of anti-HTg antibodies w...

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of synthetic lysine (sLys) on dry matter intake (DMI), average daily weight gain (ADG), dry matter conversion ratio (DMCR), carcass characteristics and economics of productionof finisher broiler chicks. As 240 day-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed to 12 pens of 20 chicks each and assigned to four treatment rations in ...
