objectives: this study aimed to investigate the effect of water-pipe (wp) smoking on hematological parameters of wistar rats. methods: thirty-five young male rats (200-250 g) were randomly assigned to five groups (n=7). the control group was exposed to room air and the experimental groups were exposed to wp smoking, using a special apparatus designed to have the ability to keep the rats for 40 ...

the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan as immune stimulator on some hematological parameters and stress resistance in rainbow trout. nine hundred rainbow trout (with initial body weight of 25 ± 0.1 g) were obtained from a local farm and acclimated to the laboratory conditions for one week. after that fish were randomly divided into four groups in three replicates. each gro...

objective(s): this study aimed to determine the possible toxicity of cuo nanoparticles (nps) on oncorhynchus mykiss by evaluating hematological parameters.materials and methods: fish were sampled and treated in 4 aquariums containing the concentration ranges of 1, 5, 20 and 100 ppm of cuo nps. there was one control group (no cuo nps) and three replicates. the physicochemical properties of water...

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...

objective(s): the impact of fasting in ramadan as a unique type of nutritional regimen on biochemical and hematological parameters is still an issue of debate. almost very little is known regarding the regulatory role(s) of this nutritional status on immune responses or inflammation.   materials and methods:   the levels of biochemical parameters were determined using commercial diagnostic kits...

objectives: this study focuses on the hematological parameters change and age in radiation field workers. the study aimed to identify the effect of radiation on hematological parameters and their relation to age and duration of the experience in radiation field workers. material and methods: this study was conducted in the physiology research center in collaboration with thalassemia and hemogl...

this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silver sulfate (agso4) as a toxicant in goldfish (carassiusauratus). one hundred and forty-seven live specimens of c. auratus were obtained and exposed to 1, 10, 100, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm of agso4for 96 hours. there was one control group (no agso4) and three replicates. the physicochemical properties of water and the following parameters were const...

introduction: musculoskeletal growth is variable during adolescent period and reaches its maximum by 18 years, whereas hemopoietic parameters reach adult values by 15 years. after adolescence period, the blood parameters may vary with nutrition and built of the individual. the purpose of this study was to find out any correlation between anthropometric and hematological parameters after the ado...
