The relation between consumption of alcohol (established by interview), two of its typical markers (gamma-glutamyltransferase activity and mean corpuscular volume), and the composition of fatty acids in plasma cholesterol esters was investigated in an epidemiological study of 1467 actively employed men aged 35-45. In this group of subjects mean consumption of alcohol was 34.6 (SD 25.2) g/day. P...

The objective of this work is assessment of the toxicological effects of carbaryl in the blood parameters of broiler chicks. Twenty day-old chicks were assigned to four treatments of 0mg/kgb.w. , 15mg/kgb.w. , 20mg/kgb.w. , and 25mg/kgb.w. of carbaryl. Total-red blood cell count (T-RBC) significantly increased in the carbaryl supplemented group. Insignificant decrease was found in mean corpuscu...
