The 'cost of reproduction' (i.e. the trade-off between current reproduction and future fecundity and/or survival) is a central concept in life history theory, yet we still know very little about the physiological mechanisms underlying such costs. Recently it has been recognized that reproduction itself or the regulatory (hormonal) mechanisms underlying reproduction might result in 'costs' (cf. ...

Changes in fecal microbiota affect the incidence and extent of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Most patients with hematological mal...

Background: Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in India. Hematolgical changes have been studied with variable results. Aims and objectives: The present study was undertaken to know the prevalence of blood and bone marrow changes in tuberculosis. Methods: The peripheral blood and bone marrow changes were evaluated in hundred adult patients with tuberculosis, admitted at District Hospi...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of acute sodium nitrite (NaNO2) treatment on the hematological and hemorheological parameters in rats. Mature rats were subjected to NaNO2 exposure by a single intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg body weight. The animals were sacrificed 1h, 5h, 24h, 48h and 5, 10, 20 days following the administration. Hematological and hemorheological ...

An experiment was carried out to study the hematological and biochemical changes of stunting syndrome in broiler chicken from day old ( group I) and 3 weeks (group III) of age to 8 weeks of age in two phases along with group II and group IV as control. Birds were slaughtered at 3, 5 ,7 and 8 weeks of age and the blood samples were collected and analyzed. The mean PCV, Hb, TEC values were reduce...

abstract the present study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of two anesthetics, clove oil and ketamine, comparison of hematological parameters, and blood biochemical indices under optimum doses of the two anesthetics in juvenile sterlet acipenser ruthenus (n=276) with an average weight of 64.1 ± 3.4 g. clove oil was used in concentrations of 14, 35, 56, 77, 98 and 119 mg/l, and those...

HIGHLIGHTS Gynogenesis didn’t have significant effect on Caspian salmon immunological indices. weren’t any blood chemical Hematological indices show changes by gynogenesis. Growth characteristics were improved gynogenesis in fish.

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of folic acid on homocysteine, lipid profile and hematological changes in methionine-induced hyperhomocysteinemic rats. Hyperhomocysteinemia was induced by methionine (1 g/kg, p.o.) administration for 30 days. Biochemical and hematological observations were further substantiated with histopathological examination. The increase in homocyst...

Exposure to various ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers (EGAEs) is known to result in hemolytic effect caused by their metabolites, appropriate alkoxyacetic acids, generated via both alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. It has been shown in many studies that administration of single doses of EGAEs to rats lead to dose- and time-dependent hemolytic anemia. The repeated exposure to isop...

background: arsenic toxicity is a major global health problem and exposure via contaminated drinking water has been associated with hematological and other systemic disorders. the present investigation has been conducted in adult male rats to evaluate the protective ability of α-lipoic acid (ala) against such hematological disorders. methods: twenty-four adult male wister rats (b.wt.130±10g) we...
