cry genes encoding cry proteins toxic to lepidoptera, coleoptera and diptera species were studied in thirty seven b. thuringiensis strains isolated from twelve naturally infested heliothis armigera larvae. to further confirm the isolates, two groups of species-indicative biochemical tests were applied while discriminative biochemical tests being employed to figure out the repetitive strains. a ...

background: milk fever in cattle, sheep and goats occurs  around the time of parturition and is caused by hypocalcemia. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the physiological effects of experimental hypocalcemia on electrocardiography, hematology and serum biochemical changes in markhoz goat breed. methods: ethylene diamine tetra- acetate solution 4.6% was intravenously infused ...

conclusions this study showed that ifnβ-1a decreased oxidant impacts in ms patients, but had no influence in improving mitochondrial dysfunction. results in the patients group (30 patients), a significant difference was observed in their measured biochemical factors in comparison to the control group (p = 0.001), however, after six months of using ifnβ-1a, only mda was shown in the main (p = 0....

babesia ovis plays an important role in causing anemia and kidney dysfunction in affected animals. there are few extensive studies about hematological and biochemical findings of small ruminants' babesiosis caused by b. ovis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of babesiosis on some hematological and biochemical parameters in infected small ruminants with b. ovis. a total of 280 sh...

background: physicians in islamic countries believe that fasting in ramadan is equal to ingestion of thirty pills regularly ingested every year for clearing the blood and fortifying the tissues. the effects of islamic fasting on physiologic functions in normal conditions have been considered in different studies and different topics. this study was to determine the quantitative changes of hemog...

a bstract background: the improved physical action following administration of supplements to bodybuilders was supported by changes in laboratory parameters. despite the fact that these supplements are sometimes associated both advantage and side effects, this study were conducted for the purpose of evaluating the possible effects of some commonly used supplements in bodybuilders on the hematol...

in pregnancy period, there is high risk of hepatic diseases and alcohol consumption increases such risk. some pregnant mothers are not able to quit the habit of drinking alcohol or they are unaware of its dangers. finding a drug which is effective and efficient in reducing ethanol misuse consequences during pregnancy can assist the decrease of harmful effects of this habit. the purpose of the c...

the variation in climatic variables like temperature, humidity and radiations were recognized as the potential hazards in the growth and production of all domestic livestock species. thermal environment is a major factor that can negatively affect both production and reproduction in dairy animals, especially in animals of high genetic merit. among the stressors, heat stress has been of major co...

salinomycin is a monocarboxylic polyether ionophore with antimicrobial properties. it is a dietaryadditive used as a growth promoter for ruminants and as a coccidiostat in chickens. the mechanism of actionof ionophores at the cellular level is to selectively bind certain ions creating intra and extracellularbiochemical disturbances. clinical signs of ionophore intoxication are non specific and ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the comparison between some seminal plasma parameters and age of the bull. concentrations of various biochemical parameters like fructose, glucose, total proteins, albumin and inorganic ions including na, k and cl ions of seminal plasma of breeding sahiwal bulls of different ageswere assessed. methods: 40sahiwal bullsdivided into 4 age groups.semen (2ml ...
