Aims: This study aims at investigating possible means of reducing cyanide toxicity by blocking NMDA R1 via ketamine (an NMDA R1 antagonist). This is to provide a template for quick arrest of cyanide toxicity in neurons under oxygen deprived condition. Place and Duration of Study:...
Twenty pregnant WAD goat does were used to assess the effect of pregnancy induced physiological changes at different stages of pregnancy. Pulse Rate values ranges from 80.78±1.63 to 92.35± 1.47(BPM), showing significant (p<0.05) increases as gestation periods (months) increase...
The organoleptic and proximate analysis of Tilapia guineensis were assessed at two stored temperatures, -18ºC and 4ºC for 4 weeks. Graded results revealed a general decline in organoleptic properties such as colour, texture, freshness, and taste of the fishes stored at the two te...
The abundance of cutlassfish was studied in the fishing grounds of Bushehr waters between May to August 2010. Stratified random sampling scheme from 40 trawl stations was used. Catch rates (catch per unit area, CPUA) and total biomass of all the samples were estimated. Mean CPUA...
New plantations of Olive tree in northern Iran are usually being severely affected by wilt or dieback and death. To determine the etiology of this problem, a study was carried out in samples of affected young trees collected in Golestan, Zanjan, Gilan and Khorasan provinces, the...
Length-weight and length-girth relationships (LWR and LGR), relative weight (Wr) and relative condition factor (Krel) of four commercial fish species (Lethrinus nebulosus, Carangoides talamparoides, Lutjanus argentimaculatus and Argyrops spinifer) from northern Persian Gulf (Bush...
The commercial value of unprocessed wool is determined by its intrinsic quality; an indication of capacity to meet both processor and consumer demands. Wool quality is evaluated through routine assessment of characteristics that include mean fibre diameter, coefficient of variati...
Aim: This study aims at determining the antioxidant properties of plantain flour fortified with okra seed flour (full fat and defatted). Methodology: Plantain Musa paradisiaca and fibrous okra Abelmoschus esculentus that cannot be cut with kitchen knife were used for this work....
Regenerative medicine has begun to define a new perspective of future clinical practice. The lack of basic data regarding to basic stem cell biology-survival, migration, differentiation, integration in a real time manner when transplanted into damaged tissue remains a major chall...
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigation on effects of in ovo administrated exogenous ghrelin on plasma lipid profile in hatched broiler chicks. Methodology: 250 eggs were obtained from commercial broiler breeder (Ross 308 strain) farm. the eggs were divided into fiv...
