Microorganisms are important components of soil. Some soil filamentous fungi such asPenicilium produce many bioactive small molecules, or secondary metabolites, that range frombeneficial bioactive compounds to harmful toxins. In this study, the metabolites of threepenicillium species (P. goditanum, P. moldavicum and P. corylophilum) were extracted byadding ethyl acetate to liquid cultures. The ...

The effect of Cotinine, active metabolite of nicotine, on Aβ1-42 neurotoxicity was investigated. Cotinine possesses a longer plasma half-life, lower toxicity and it is a partial agonist of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). Cotinine prolonged the survival of cortical neurons exposed to Aβ1-42. These results indicated that cotinine has a neuroprotective effect by inhibition of the fo...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) diseases have almost affected 100 million men all over the world. Orally administered phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors are the most used pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment of ED. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the metabolomics feature of orally administered vardenafil in rats. To carry out the experimental procedure eight male Wistar albino ...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of oxidized fat (yellow grease) and copper sulfate on performance, carcass traits, blood metabolites and immune cells of broilers. this study was carried out as a 3 × 2 factorial experiment with 3 levels of oxidized fat (0, 2 and 4%) and 2 levels of copper sulfate (0 and 300 mg/kg) in 6 treatments, 3 replicates and 12 ...

background: since the prohibition of antibiotic growth promoter in poultry ration by the european :union:, poultry producers have been  trying to replace them by other growth promoters like medicinal herbs. lipia citridora is a medicinal  herb enriched by several powerful phenolic compounds and with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties which lead to enhancing appetite and growth performance...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using different levels of red pepper powder (rp) and marigold flower powder (mf) on egg production, egg yolk color andsome blood metabolites in laying hens. ninety, 103-weeks old laying hens were divided into 5 treatments groups of 6 birds in each cage with 3 replicates in a completely randomized design. the birds were fed a corn-soybean...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effect of onion extract on growth performance, carcass characteristics and some blood metabolites in ross and cobb broiler chickens. one hundred sixty, 1-d-old broiler chickens (mean initial weight: 36.5 ± 1 g) of male sex (ross-308 and cobb) were randomly conducted as randomized complete design with 4 treatment and 4 replication. the experimental grou...
