Cadmium (Cd), a very toxic heavy metal, poses significant environmental and public health risks, particularly affecting the liver. This study examined therapeutic effectiveness of Ziziphus spina-christi(ZSC) extract, known forits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective properties, in alleviating cadmium-induced liver damage rats. Twenty-four rats were divided into four groups: control, ZSC-treated, Cd-exposed, Cd + ZSC-treated. Rats administered ZSC extract orally for 21 days,...
Forty male Naemi lambs were used to evaluate the effect of total mixed rations (TMR) alone or in combination with supplementation alfalfa hay offered at different schedules on growth, carcass characteristics, and meat quality. Lambs age three months, an average weight 28.85±1.09 kg, randomly selected distributed into four feeding systems, 10 each, as follows: TMR diet (control); plus 100 g hay; 200 every two days; 300 days. The fresh drinking water ad libitum. treated groups (with hay) had...
Background: The embryo genomic material used in this study came from an equal contribution of maternal and paternal genes. Gene expression during IVEP development was controlled by several factors: the genetic makeup embryo, epigenetic contributions culture materials. aims research were to impact ionomycin treatment on sperm capacitation time its impacts gene some sensitive genes (Bcl-2, Bax, HSPB1, IGF1 GDF9) IVEP. Methods: semen placed a sterile 15ml tube containing 5ml medium then split...
Background: It has become important to provide advice and education herbal remedies users increase evidence-based awareness of their potential side effects. This research explores the effects Ziziphus spina-christi (ZSC) aqueous extract on biochemical indicators histopathological changes liver, kidneys female rats. Methods: Fifteen rats (five in each group) were orally administrated with ZSC at dosages 10, 50 100 mg/kg bw/day for 14 days. Five other females considered a control group, given...
Abstract Insects are becoming more popular as a soybean meal substitute because they can be raised sustainably on food and feed residues, which improves farming efficiency, sustainability, animal welfare. In the current study, we replaced 4, 8 12% SBM with lesser mealworm Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae determined its effects productive performances, blood parameters, gut morphometry meat quality of broiler chickens. We also compared commercially available black...
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that progresses to many microvascular complications. The phytoconstituents derived from herbs are thought be important sources of anti-diabetic drug candidates. Mimosa pudica one such traditional herbal medicines having wide usage in treating diabetes mellitus. This study aims validate the protective role aqueous and alcoholic extracts whole plant streptozotocin induced diabetic wistar albino rats. overnight fasted rats were initially treated...
It is postulated that alterations in membranous lipids construction, surface characteristics, fluidity, Ca2+ permeability, and cholesterol levels collectively contribute to the process of capacitation induction.
