in this research to evaluate the effects of probiotic on the growth and some serum biochemical parameters of growing native kid’s, 24 kid’s, with 19.2± 0.7 kg body weight and 120± 10 days of age were used in a  completely randomized design with four treatments and six repeats. these four groups included: 1- the control group was fed on a basal diet (without probiotic or yeast). 2- the second gr...

1. In experimental nephritis caused by cantharidin, arsenic, diphtheria toxin, and potassium chromate, in addition to the retention of the non-protein and urea nitrogen and of the chlorides in blood, an acidosis occurs. 2. Sodium bicarbonate given by the stomach has the power of diminishing the acidosis in these types of nephritis. 3. The degree of increase in the non-protein and urea nitrogen ...

effects of summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) dry powder (ssdp) and essential oil (sseo) on performance, ruminal fermentation and blood metabolites were assessed using 20west azerbaijan native kids (16±1.94 kg initial live weight) in a random block design with 5 treatments (4 replicates per treatment) over a 13-week period. treatments were: i) basal diet without additive (control), ii): basa...

the replacement of corn silage with varying levels of ammonia gassed wheat straw on performance, digestibility, fermentation parameters, chewing activities, blood metabolites and profitability of holstein heifers have been evaluated. fifteen holstein heifer with 9-10 months of age were assigned in a completely randomized design with 3 treatment as 1) 36% corn silage, 2) 18% corn silage and 18% ...

Blood biochemical and cellular parameters were measured in human subjects before and after exposure to a decompression schedule involving 6 h of oxygen prebreathing. The exposure was designed to simulate extravehicular activity for 6 h (subjects performed exercise while exposed to 29.6 kPa). There were no significant differences between blood samples from subjects who were susceptible (n = 11) ...

BACKGROUND Prior studies have demonstrated adverse risk associated with baseline and worsening renal function in acute heart failure, but none has modeled the trajectories of change in renal function and their impact on outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS We used linear mixed models of serial measurements of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine to describe trajectories of renal function in 1962 patie...

The present study was aimed to observe the effects of urea ingestion, non-protein nitrogen, on the disorder of nitrogen metabolism with the L-carnitine contents using the blood, kidney, liver, and femoral muscle as markers. A total of 8 Japanese white rabbits were used in this experiment. They were fed a basal diet prepared for the control group and the nitrogen volume proportionated to one-thi...
