the aim of this study was to determine short-term changes of blood rheology after intensive endurance exercise in national triathlon athletes. nine national athletes of triathlon (mean age=20.12±2.15 years, weight 70.12±8.54 kg) took part in this study voluntarily. subjects performed triathlon race which is one of the branches of multiple sports (which consisted of 2 kilometers running, 7 kilom...

in order to study the effect of different levels of desiccated ox bile (dob; 0.00, 0.25, and 0.50%) and organic acid (oa; 0.00, 0.15, and 0.30% of the diet) on performance, fat digestibility, blood metabolites and ileal digesta viscosity in broiler chickens fed diets containing 5% tallow, in a completely randomized design with a 3×3 factorial arrangement and 4 replicates in each treatment, 360 ...

We investigated the effects of a wheat-based diet (WBD) supplemented with different levels of zinc on the performance, intestinal viscosity, immune system and lipid peroxidation of broiler chickens. A total of 240 Ross 308 day-old male broiler chicks were weighed and assigned to six dietary treatments with four replicates (floor pens) of ten birds per pen. Dietary treatments consisted of a WBD ...

OBJECTIVES To determine blood viscosity in adult comatose patients treated with mild therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest and to assess the relation between blood viscosity, cerebral blood flow, and cerebral oxygen extraction. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING Tertiary care university hospital. PATIENTS Ten comatose patients with return of spontaneous circulation after out-of-ho...

Blood flow rate in a vascular network is proportional to the arteriovenous pressure difference and inversely proportional to the geometric and viscous resistances. We have recently shown that the geometric resistance to blood flow increases with increasing tumor size and/or decreasing arterial pressure. In this study, the viscous resistance to blood flow within tumor microvasculature was determ...
