This study was designed to evaluate the effects of nanocurcumin (NC) on oxidative stress and histology of embryonic chicken heart. NC was injected into the yolk of 4-day-old embryonic eggs at one of three doses: 10 ppm (NC10 group), 100 ppm (NC100 group), and 1000 ppm (NC1000 group). The control group received normal saline. Oxidative stress in heart tissue was evaluated by measuring malondiald...

This study investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with phytase on growth performance, fecal excretion, and compost nutrition broilers fed available phosphorus (avP)- calcium (Ca)-deficient diets. A total 750 one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided into five groups having ten replications in a floor house. Diets formulated positive control (PC), negative (NC; low avP Ca), NC...

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of a multi-enzyme complex (Rovabio Excel) containing carbohydrolase activities on the performance of broiler chickens. Test diets were formulated to include 12% corn distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS). In total, 1200 Cobb 500 broiler males were randomly assigned to 8 replicate pens of 50 birds per treatment and grown to 45 d of age usi...

PURPOSE THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO ASSESS AND COMPARE THE CLINICAL AND RADIOGRAPHIC OUTCOMES OF GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION THERAPY FOR HUMAN PERIODONTAL INTRABONY DEFECTS USING TWO DIFFERENT COLLAGEN MEMBRANES: a porous nonchemical cross-linking collagen membrane (NC) and a bilayer collagen membrane (BC). METHODS Thirty subjects were randomly assigned and divided into the following 3 gr...

The study aimed to investigate whether S100A9 gene silencing mediating the IL-17 pathway affected the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in acute pancreatitis (AP). Kunming mice were assigned to the normal, AP, AP + negative control (NC), AP + shRNA, AP + IgG and AP + anti IL-17 groups. ELISA was applied to measure expressions of AMY, LDH, CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8. The cells were distribute...

A total of 96 growing pigs ((Landrace×Yorkshire)×Duroc; BW = 26.58±1.41 kg) were used in a 6-wk feeding trail to evaluate the effects of fermented chlorella (FC) supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood characteristics, fecal microbial and fecal noxious gas content in growing pigs. Pigs were randomly allotted into 1 of 4 dietary treatments with 6 replicate pens (2 ba...

objective(s) the effect of berberis vulgaris aqueous extract in hepatocarcinogenic rats was studied to investigate the apoptotic and sodium, potassium elements properties. a loss of both intracellular potassium and sodiumoccurs when apoptotic cells shrink and prior to the loss of membraneintegrity. materials and methods forty-eight sprague dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, normal...
