Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelenium and Cadmium Tissue Concentrations and the CASA Sperm Motility Analysis after Administration to RatsRobert Toman, Svatoslav Hluchy, Peter Massanyi et al.The accumulation of Selenium (Se) and Cadmium (Cd) and their effects on sperm motility parameters in rats were investigated. Male rats were dosed with Cd (group A: 2 mg kg-1 b.w., intraperitoneally, group B: 30 mg L-1, per os in drinking water) and Se (group D: 2 mg kg-1 b.w., intraperitoneally, group E: 5 mg L-1, per os in drinking … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2014 · 7,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteraction of γ Aminobutyric Acid B Receptors and Electromagnetic Field in the Fear ResponseM. Taherianfard, A. Bahaodini, M. Fazeli, S. Karimi HaghighiOne of the most neurotransmission system consistently linked with fear response is GABAergic system. GABA through GABAB receptor can influence fear response. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the effect of IP injection of baclofen (GABAB agonist) and CGP35348 (GABAB antagonist) along with EMF exposure on frequency of fear response. Fifty adult male rats weighing 180-200 g … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 1 Apr 2014 · 6,691 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAMELIORATIVE EFFECT OF HIBISCUS SABDARIFFA LINN ON SUBCHRONIC CHLORPYRIFOS-INDUCED ALTERATIONS IN SEX AND THYROID HORMONES IN MALE WISTAR RATSShittu Muftau, Olatunji Omobolanle Aisha, Suleiman Folorunsho Ambali et al.Studies have shown that Chlorpyrifos (CPF), an Organophosphate (OP) insecticide alters both sex and thyroid hormones. Apart from inhibiting Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, CPF has been shown to cause oxidative stress. The antioxidant potentials of many flavonoid-containing plants are increasingly being exploited in the therapy of many infectious and non-infectious diseases. Hibiscus Sabdariffa (HS) is one of the most widely used … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2014 · 9,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelenium Effect on Hyperoxia-Induced Glutathione Peroxidase Activity and Free Radicals Production in the BrainIsmaeel Bin-JaliahThe purpose of this study was to examine the behavior of Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) activity and Free Radicals (FR) production in the brain during graded hyperoxia exposure with and without selenium preventive intake. Forty two adult male rats were assigned to seven groups, six animals each. The first group served as control and the second, third and fourth groups were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 7 Dec 2013 · 6,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectromagnetic Field and Γ Aminobutyric Acid a Receptors Interaction in the Fear ResponseM. Taherianfard, A. Bahaodini, M. Fazeli et al.Freezing behavior is a fearful reaction to specific stimuli, most commonly observed by animals. One of the neurotransmission system most consistently linked with fear response is the GABAergic system, in which GABA through GABAA receptor can influence fear response. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the effect of IP injection of muscimol (GABAA agonist) and bicuculline (GABAA … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary β-glucan Leads to Increased TNF-α Production in the LungRadiah C. Minor, Melody L. Robinson-Wright, Morika Williams, Steven L. HurleyProblem statement: Beta (β)-glucan is notable for its ability to stimulate the immune system and as such β-glucan and products containing β-glucan are used as dietary supplements for livestock and companion animals. β-glucan has been shown to activate macrophages and neutrophils and modulate the production of certain cytokines, including the pro-inflammatory cytokine, Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α). Because TNF-α is … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2012 · 7,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarly Age Thermal Conditioning Improves Broiler Chick's Response to Acute Heat Stress at Marketing AgeAhmed M. Hassan, P. Gopal ReddyProblem statement: Acute heat stress at marketing age especially in broiler chickens raised in open houses with reduced means of heat exchange leads to economic losses. The objective of this study was to determine beneficial effects of early age thermal conditioning in reducing adverse effects of acute heat stress and decrease losses. Approach: Ninety one day-old broiler chicks were randomly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 8,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVitamin E Mitigates Chronic Chlorpyrifos-Induced Oxidative Changes in Pituitary Glands and Testes in Wistar RatsM. Shittu, J. O. Ayo, S. F. Ambali et al.Problem statement: The sperm counts of men have declined by about 50% in the last few decades. The contribution of environmental contaminants to this decline cannot be overemphasized. Pesticide is one of the most pervasive environmental chemical contaminants that have been of increased use due to the compelling need to feed the ever-growing world human and animal population and protect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 19 Nov 2011 · 7,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Sodium Fluoride on Cancellous Bone Defect Healing in RatsGhafour Mousavi, Daryoush Mohajeri, Mostafa Rezaei et al.Problem statement: The purpose of this study was to histopathology and biomechanics evaluate the effect of sodium fluoride on cancellous bone defect healing in rat model. Approach: The experiment was conducted on 40 male adult SD rats which were divided into four groups of control and experiments. After induction of general anesthesia, a hole in size of 2×3 mm in … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Jun 2011 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Equilibration Temperature on In vitro Viability and Subsequent Embryo Development of Vitrified-Warmed Immature Bovine OocytesHajarian Hadi, H. Wahid, O. Abas Mazni et al.Problem statement: Vitrification is replacing conventional slow freezing to cryopreserve gametes and embryos especially for in vitro production of embryo in domestic animal species. However, the results are still not satisfactory. The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of different equilibration temperatures on in vitro viability of immature bovine oocytes after vitrification. Approach: Oocytes were obtained from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 1 Sep 2010 · 16,116 accessesView PDFCite
