AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of hot dry, hot humid and comfortable season on physiological, hematological, biochemical, and oxidative stress parameters in Surti buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten lactating Surti buffaloes of similar physiological status were selected. Based on the temperature-humidity index (THI), their natural exposure to the environment was categori...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of costmary(tanacetum balsamita)medicinal plant on performance, egg traits, and blood biochemical parameters of laying hens. hundred-eighty of hi-line laying hens (w 36) from 46 until 58 weeks of age were used in a completely randomized design in five treatments and three replicates (12 birds per replicate). the treatment...

background: fish have been at high risk of atrazine toxicity. comparative atrazine toxicity on the tissues of clarias gariepinus is scanty. therefore, acute and chronic effects of atrazine on some biochemical parameters in clarias gariepinus were investigated in this study. methods: atrazine toxicity was determined by assessing the responses of glucose, protein, alanine aminotransferase (alt), ...

background: paraquat is nonselective bipyridyl herbicide that induces hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress. vitamin c and chitosan have antioxidant as well as radical scavenger properties and show protective effects against reactive oxygen species (ros). in the present study, hepatoprotective effects of chitosan and vitamin c were evaluated in common carp exposed to paraquat. methods: while ...

original article   introduction: exposure to heat is one of the workplace risk factors, which may lead to thermal strain, such as rising heart rate and body temperature. to have the best association between a heat stress indices and physiological parameters have always been a major concern for those studying the subject. this study aims to compare the association of two heat stress indices with...

AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of summer and winter season on physiological, biochemical, hormonal, and antioxidant parameters in Indigenous sheep. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research was carried out during summer and winter season. 8 adult apparently healthy female sheep (aged 2-4 years) of similar physiological status were selected. Daily ambient temperature and relative...

The present study was carried out for 7 days on four adult low-lander single-humped camels to know the effectof endurance load exercise physiological, biochemical, hormonal, and inflammatory cytokines at high altitude.A significant 1.5 3 fold increase observed in physiological responses, viz. respiration heart rate onthe 1st 7th day after exercise. Further, serum triglycerides levels were signi...

Introduction: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most commonly used drugs to reduce pain and inflammation. Aceclofenac is a newer derivative of diclofenac with less gastrointestinal complications. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the toxicity profile of sustain release aceclofenac injection in rats at three dose levels, ranging from 2 to 10 mg/kg body weight. Mater...
