Socially subordinate female common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) have markedly lower plasma cortisol levels than dominant females. Subordinate females also undergo hypoestrogenemic anovulation, and estrogen can elevate glucocorticoid levels. Therefore, we previously hypothesized that this cortisol difference is mediated by rank-related differences in reproductive hormones, probably estradiol. ...

The blood biochemical parameters were investigated in a yak (Bos grunniens L) after intravenous administration of 5 mg/kg enrofloxacin. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein daily for 5 days after the drug administration. Heparinized bloods were collected for mean corpuscular volume (MCV), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hemoglubin (Hb) estimation and...

Although the infection of different animals and non-human primates with other members of Anelloviridae have already been reported there is no report about infection of animals with Torque teno midi virus/Small anellovirs (TTMDV/SAV).

The effects of vitamin supplements and/or diet on the levels of vitamin C, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 in milk and blood of lactating women were determined. At the end of gestation, subjects were divided into two lactation groups: supplemented (10 subjects) and nonsupplemented (seven subjects). Milk samples were collected from 5 to 7 days and 43 to 45 days postpartum. Fasting blood samples were...

it has been well established that the secretions of thyroid hormones and growth hormone (gh) isunder the regulation of different neurotransmitters. the goal of this study was to determine whethersubstance-p, as a neurotransmitter, regulates the mean plasma concentrations of thyroxin (t4),triiodothyronine (t3), gh, milk amount and constituents in sanan goats. nine sanan goats were randomlydivide...

Background: Severe immunosuppression occurs after large thermal burn and probably contributes substantially to patient morbidity and mortality.In this study we investigated the range and distribution of T-lymphocyte. Subsets CD3 (T cells) CD4 (T helper/inducer cell,.th ), CD8 (T suppressor /Cytotoxic cells ,TS/C), CD3 CD4/CD3CD8 ratio, CD19 (B cells) and CD16 (NK cells ) in patiens following th...

background: babesiosis and thosis are parasitic tick-borne diseases that cause a lot of economic loss in livestock industry. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to detect babesia and theileria infection in goats and and vector ticks in goats in mashhad. methods: one hundred blood samples of goats and 246 ticks were collected from some suspected flocks with history of piroplasmosis....
