The aim of this study was to verify subacute oral dose toxicity of positively charged 100 nm zinc oxide (ZnO(AE100[+])) nanoparticles (NPs) in Sprague-Dawley rats. ZnO(AE100[+]) NPs were administered to rats of each sex by gavage at 0, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg/kg/day for 14 days. During the study period, clinical signs, mortality, body weight, food consumption, hematology, serum biochemistry, g...

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...

The effect of Carbosulfan (CB), a carbamate insecticide which has been used widely in agriculture, was investigated using wistar rat. Carbosulfan was administered orally at sublethal concentration at a dose of 25 mg/kg to 12 male rats ad libitum during the tests for 30 days consecutively. The effect of CB on hematological constituent [Red Blood Corpuscules (RBC), White Blood Corpuscules (WBC), ...

Background Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is a devastating neurodegenerative caused by propagation of abnormally folded prion proteins (PrPSc). Some fluid biomarkers have been reported to be associated with duration in CJD. Based on studies which found that protein (PrPC) played role erythrocytic hematopoiesis, we evaluated the association between peripheral red blood cell indices and survival...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of season and sex on hemato-biochemical parameters of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) in the arid tropical environment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiment was conducted on 20-week old turkeys consisting of 20 males and 20 females. Blood was collected from all turkeys during January and May. Hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), packed...

Carp erythrocytes were fractionated by angle-head centrifugation which yielded fractions with a linear increase in density. Haematological examinations revealed that the heavier red blood cells of carp had greater volumes (MCV), more haemoglobin (MCH) and higher haemoglobin concentrations (MCHC) than light ones. The same experiments with human red cell fractions yielded a decrease in MCV, const...

Original scientific paper The aim of this study was to determine and evaluation chronic effects of plyometric training on hematological parameters of the Turkish National Alpine Ski Team athletes during 12-week preparation period. In the study 12 sportsmen volunteers participated whose mean age was 17.50 years. Twelve weeks plyometric training protocol performed to participants. The training pr...

The hormone erythropoietin (EPO) is responsible for the increased production of red blood cells (RBC) in response to tissue hypoxia. While the role of EPO in hematological development has been established in humans and terrestrial mammals, this relationship has never been examined in marine mammals that rely heavily on stored oxygen to maintain aerobic metabolism while diving. Since blood is th...

The present study was aimed with study the haematological alteration in Fasciola hepatica infected goats. The study duration was one year in which summer, rainy and winter season included. Total 60 goats were included for this study. Goats were divided in two groups one was slaughter house and second was house hold. Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein into evacuated EDTA tubes and st...

We have recently reported tumor suppressive role of DAB2IP in RCC development. In this study, We identified one CpG methylation biomarker (DAB2IP CpG1) located UTSS of DAB2IP that was associated with poor overall survival in a cohort of 318 ccRCC patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We further validated the prognostic accuracy of DAB2IP CpG methylation by pyrosequencing quantitative me...
