Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Post-Mating Progesterone Supplement on Pregnancy and Lambing Rates of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Jomana F. HijaziThe objective of this experiment was to determine whether post-mating progesterone (P4) supplement improves pregnancy and lambing rates in ewes bred during the seasonal anestrous period. In June, 39 synchronized to estrus Awassi ewes were allowed with four harnessed fertile rams immediately following CIDR-G device removal (day 0 and 0 hour). Five days following ram introduction, ewes were randomly assigned … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcute Hypotensive and Diuretic Activities of Chamaemelum nobile Aqueous Extract in Normal RatsN. A. Zeggwagh, J. B. Michel, M. EddouksThis study aims to evaluate the effect of Chamaemelum nobile (Cn) intravenous injection on cardiovascular and renal function of normal rats. Intravenous bolus injection of Cn at the dose of 50, 100 and 200 mg kg-1, produced dose dependent reduction in arterial blood pressure (p<0.001). Significant reduction in heart frequency was observed after Cn injection at a dose of 100 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlatelet Derived Growth Factor-A mRNA Levels in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Subjects at Risk of Coronary Heart DiseaseSalman A.H. AlrokayanCoronary heart disease (CHD) is the number one cause of death in developed countries. We investigated the quantity of platelet derived growth factor-A mRNA (PDGF-A mRNA) among four different groups of diabetic and nondiabetic Saudi subjects (n = 40) at risk of CHD. Total RNA was derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMN) and PDGF-A mRNA reverse transcribed into cDNA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Mechanism of Ascites Syndrome of BroilersJ.L. Guo, Q.H. Zheng, Q.Q. YIN et al.Two hundred and forty male Cobb broilers were used to study the reasons of causing ascites. The results showed that cold ambient temperature could induce ascites (33.89% vs. 2.50%) and significantly increase triiodothyronine (T3), but reduce thyroxine (T4) concentrations in plasma (p<0.05). The ascitic broilers had high concentrations of aldosterone and K+, but low concentrations of T3 and T4 in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Nutritive Value of Wastewater Grown Barley and its Utilization in Fish FeedA.M. Snow, A. E. GhalyThe feasibility of using wastewater grown barley plants as a component of fish feed was evaluated. The barley plants were grown in a hydroponics system on wastewater from a recirculating aquaculture facility. The effects of wastewater application rate on plant growth and pollution potential reduction were investigated. At the end of the experiment, the average crop heights and yields were … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInsertion of poly (ethylene glycol)-lipid reduces the liposome-encapsulated hemoglobininduced thrombocytopenic reactionVibhudutta Awasthi, Beth Goins, William T. PhillipsInteraction with platelets has been recognized as a concern in the development of liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier. This reaction causes a significant drop in circulating platelets in a rapid and transient fashion. We studied the effect of lipid bilayer charge on the magnitude of drop in circulating platelets. We also investigated the effect of post-inserted PEG-lipid on this … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of pH on the Conformation and Biological Activity of Clostridium septicum Alpha-toxin, a Pore-forming HemolysinB.M. Hang'ombe, T. Kohda, M. Mukamoto, S. KozakiThe effects of pH on the pore-forming Clostridium septicum alpha-toxin that causes myonecrosis was assessed at pH 5.0, 7.0 and 9.0 by measuring circular dichroism and its biological activity. Incubation of the toxin at pH 5.0 increased the hemolytic activity measured in murine red blood cells. On the other hand, incubation of the toxin at pH 9.0 drastically reduces the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of a DNA Vaccine for Immunocontraceptive Potential Against Zona Pellucida Glycoproteins in CattleC.A. Foley, S.M. Boyle, R.E. Pearson, F.C. GwazdauskasHolstein cows were administered zona pellucida (ZP) DNA vaccine and used to determine the potential of recombinant rabbit ZP glycoproteins (rZP) as immunocontraceptive antigens. Zona pellucida proteins were purified and quantified. Cows were assigned to one of four treatment groups in which plasmids encoding rabbit ZP proteins were administered, i.d., using a gene gun (ZP55, n=2; ZP75, n=2; Hep55, n=2; … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Short or Long Term FGA Treatment with or without eCG on Reproductive Performance of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Dia S. Abu-RumanThe objective was to evaluate the effects of intravaginal FGA sponges inserted for 4 or 12 days with or without eCG on reproductive performance of ewes out-of-season. Forty-eight anestrous ewes were assigned in equal numbers to four treatments in a 2x2 factorial design. Ewes were administered with FGA sponges on May 17 for 12 days (12-day-FGA-eCG and 12-day-FGA groups, n= … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Salmonella typhimurium Challenge on Swine Growth, Nitrogen Balance, Insulin-like Growth Factor-I, and Acute Phase ProteinsJ.A. Loughmiller, S.S. Dritz, J.L. Nelssen et al.Growing barrows were used to determine the effects of an en teric disease challenge on nutrient balance, growth, acute phase proteins, and IGF-I. Pigs were challenged on d 0 with Salmonella typhimurium (S; N=21), or unchallenged and fed ad libitum (A; n=6), or unchallenged and pair-fed the same amount of feed as a challenged pig (P; n=8). Blood was collected … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
