Enhanced oxygen reserves in the blood facilitate diving in marine mammals. For pinnipeds (seals and sea lions), a developmental period of 4 to 24 months is required for blood oxygen stores to reach adult capacities. We investigated whether a similar developmental period for the blood occurs in cetaceans (dolphins and whales), a group of mammals that are exposed to diving immediately after birth...

Experiments were performed to explore whether adhesion differences among different density sickle (SS) cells are mainly caused by deformability characteristics attendant to density variations, which could affect their surface contacts with the endothelium, or caused by any changes in their membrane surface (eg, receptors). Also, what is the contribution of morphologic attributes of SS cells in ...

The work aimed to evaluate the nanoalumina toxicity on the histological architecture, some haematological and biochemical aspects in male albino rats, during acute and sublethal experiments. Rats, in acute experiments, were injected with a single-acute dose of 3.9 g or 6.4 g or 8.5 g of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) kg(-) (1), whereas those of sublethal were injected with 1.3 g of Al2O3 kg(-) (1)2 da...

Background: Copper is a trace element vital to life, but the toxic effect of water pollution with it on fish is now exhibited. Fish blood is susceptible to contaminationinduced stress and its alternation due to the hematological and immunological parameters can be utilized as toxicity indices of xenobiotics. Methods: In this study, juvenile species of silver carp with average weight of 200gr we...

A rapid-reaction parallel-plate flow channel was used to study the kinetics of erythrocyte sickling upon sudden deoxygenation with sodium dithionite. The erythrocytes were recorded on 16-mm film or video tape and visually tracked in time. Sickling was identified by morphologic criteria. At the flow rate used in these studies, the rate of sickling was a reaction-limited process. There was no los...

The effects of ethanol leaf extracts Mangifera indica and Gongronema latifolium on some haematological parameters (Haematocrit, HCT; Mean corpuscular Haemoglobin concentration, MCHC; Neutrophils, NEUT; Red cell Distribution width, RDW; mixed blood count, MXD) in albino wistar rats were evaluated. Sixteen animals (185-223g) assigned four groups each. Groups 1 3 treated with 200mg/kg Gongronama r...

Sunulan çalışmada 0-24 aylık 20 adet keçi kullanıldı. Keçilerin klinik, sistemik ve hematolojik muayeneleri yapıldıktan sonra onarlı iki gruba ayrıldı. Klinik olarak pnömoni teşhisi (n=10 ) konulan keçiler çalışma grubuna, sağlıklı ise kontrol grubuna dahil edildi. muayene sırasında oskültasyon yapıldı. Vena jugularisten alınan kan örneklerinden muayenede; Lökosit (WBC), Eritrosit (RBC), Hemogl...
