Background: This study was conducted to investigate whether vitamin C can protect against plasma biochemical changes induced by lead poisoning in Cyprinus carpio. Methods: Three groups of common carp (n=30/group) were used in this study. Group 1 served as control, Group 2 was exposed to lead acetate (5 mg/L) for 15 days, and Group 3 received vitamin C (500 mg/kg) during the same duration of ...

this study investigated the effects of coenzyme q10 (coq10) supplementation on hematological, enzymes activities and biochemical parameters in broilers with pulmonary hypertension syndrome (phs).two hundred and forty 1-d-old ross 308 male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 3 groups with 4 replicates. from d 14, the diets were supplemented with coq10 at levels of 0, 20 and 40 mg/kg, res...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate some new biochemical parameters that help ensuring the early and precise diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in blood plasma. DESIGN AND SETTINGS A prospective study conducted with patients scheduled for some new biochemical parameters that help ensuring the early and precise diagnosis of ADHD in blood plasma in a...

In this study, the hepatoprotective effect of the methanol extract of aerial parts (shoot) from Otostegia persica Boiss (Golder) was investigated against the carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute hepatotoxicity in male rats. Liver damage was induced through the oral administration of 50% CCl4 in liquid paraffin (2.5 mL/Kg bw, per os) 60 min after the administration of the methanol extract o...

In men with non-obstructive azoospermia, testicle biopsy can provide isolated sperm which can be used for fertilization of an oocyte. The male seminal plasma was examined for adequate biochemical parameters and then tested as potential diagnostic parameters for prediction of sperm presence in non-obstructive azoospermia. Sperm was obtained by preparation of the testicular tissue. Biochemical pa...

the present study was conducted to investigate the clinical effects and possible side effects of yarrow extract ( achillea millefolium l.) as feed additive on biochemical blood parameters and growth performance of rainbow trout ( oncorhynchus mykiss ). fishes were treated with 0 (control), 0.1, 0.5 and 1% of yarrow extract for 30 days. plasma alanine aminotransferase (alt), aspartate aminotrans...

Introduction: During its life cycle, malaria parasite has to traverse successfully through widely diverse environmental milieu of mosquito mid gut, RBC cytosol and human circulatory system where it is exposed to dramatic changes of extracellular milieu in terms of pH, osmolarity and ionic constituents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the possible changes in the cations (Na+, K+,...

background and objectives this study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of the cultivated satureja khuzestanica essential oil (skeo) on activity and gene expression of hepatic gk in normal and diabetic rats.   methods biochemical parameters such as glucose, insulin, and hba1c plasma levels and oral glucose tolerance test were all analyzed. the cultivated skeo was orally administered at diffe...
