In the present study, ovarian follicular fluid concentrations of trace elements and biochemical metabolites in relation to follicular size were investigated in dairy cows. Ovaries were recovered from 40 female adult Holstein Friesian cows 5–7 years of age with clinically normal r...
It has been recognized that pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) must be transformed into fate-restricted derivatives before use for cell therapy. Realizing the therapeutic potential of pluripotent hESC derivatives demands a better understanding of how a pluripotent cel...
Soil-borne fungal and bacterial root pathogens can cause serious losses to agricultural crops. The enhancement of disease suppressive properties of soils will limit disease development, thus, being of great importance for sustainable agriculture as well as organic farming systems...
Salt stress affected areas are increasing significantly all over the world leading to the adverse effects on plant growth and development and productivity of agricultural crops. For better suitability of plants with the changing environment, plants show well-defined metabolic alt...
The fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum bactericidal agents inhibiting DNA synthesis. They are active against gram positive and gram negative organisms like P. aeruginosa, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Staphylococci and a few of the Streptococci. They are useful in the treatment of pneu...
In order to evaluate the effects of green manures and various nitrogen fertilizer levels on some traits of wheat, a field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of the Faculty of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Iran, during the 2010-2011 growing season. The experim...
Follicular fluid (FF) is an avascular compartment within the mammalian ovary separated from the perifollicular stroma by the follicular wall that constitutes a blood-follicle barrier. FF plays a major role in the autocrine and paracrine regulation and also in the physiological, b...
The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in nutrient recycling can result in the improvement of plant growth and yield in nutrient depleted soil. Two years field experiment (2008 and 2009) was conducted at Ekpoma, Nigeria to investigate the effects of mycorrhizal inoculum on maiz...
Aim: To produce daddawa analogue (a fermented condiment) from Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) seeds which should have safe levels of anti-nutrients comparable to daddawa from locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) seeds. Design of the Study: Lima bean and locust bean seeds were separately...
Vitamin B12 deficiency is an uncommon cause of fever. Here we describe a case of a 16-year-old male who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin from one and half month subsequently on investigation patient diagnosed to nutritional megaloblastic anemia secondary to severe vitamin...
