Objective: In this experiment, supplementation of the diet with increased levels of glutamine was used to determine glutamine enriched diet effect on the healing of ileal anastomosis. Methods: Forty albino Wistar rats, in four groups, had a special diet 7 days prior to surgery and 7 days after surgery. On the 7th day of study a complete cut of the ileal wall was carried out and an anastomosis w...

this study was accomplished to investigate the effect of artemia urmiana nauplii enriched with pediococcus acidilactici as probiotic on growth performance and survival rate of great sturgeon, huso huso.  artemia nauplii were enriched with p. acidilactici at a final concentration of 1010 cfu ml-1 in three time dependent treatments as 3 h (t3), 6 h (t6), 9 h (t9), and one non-enriched artemia as ...

To evaluate the role of diet composition on nerve agent toxicity, rats were fed four distinct diets ad libitum for 28 d prior to challenge with 110 μg/kg (1.0 LD(50), sc) soman. The four diets used were a standard rodent diet, a choline-enriched diet, a glucose-enriched diet, and a ketogenic diet. Body weight was recorded throughout the study. Toxic signs and survival were evaluated at key time...

objective(s) we determined the effect of a high fructose diet either alone or in combination with iranian shallot or garlic extract on cognitive functions, plasma lipid profile, and the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (ipgtt). materials and methods following induction of insulin resistance in fructose-fed rats (fru-fed), they were randomly assigned to three subgroups. the first subgroup ...

The purpose of the present study was to determine if a relationship exists between the plasma cholesterol concentration, the severity of amphotericin B (AmpB)-induced renal toxicity, and the pharmacokinetics of AmpB in plasma in hypercholesterolemic rabbits administered multiple doses of amphotericin B (AmB) deoxycholate (Doc-AmB) and AmB lipid complex (ABLC). After 7 days of administration of ...

BACKGROUND According to animal experiments, a protein-enriched diet increased renal absorption of sodium and water. We wanted to test the hypothesis that a protein-enriched diet would increase the expression of the aquaporin-2 water channels and the epithelial sodium channels in the distal part of the nephron using biomarkers for the activity of the two channels. METHODS We performed a random...
