Aim: Major side effects of cyclophosphamide administration are immunosuppression and myelosuppression. The immunomodulatory plant bioactive compounds on chemotherapy drug-induced may have significant in cancer treatment. For this reason, we investigated the effect myricetin, apigenin, hesperidin cyclophosphamide-induced rats.Methods: In our study, a total 64 rats were used, divided into eight equal groups. These groups were: control, cyclophosphamide, + myricetin (100 mg/kg), (200 apigenin...

The genotoxic effects of sublethal doses cadmium in peripheral erythrocytes Oreochromis niloticus was investigated using micronucleus (MN) and nuclear abnormalities (NAs) tests. For this reason, the fish were exposed to medium changes 0.5 1.0 mg/L (Cd) during an average treatment period 10 days. On 2nd, 4th, 6th, 10th days test period, erythrocytes, including micronuclei other such as lobbed nuclei (LB), blebbed (BL), notched (NT), counted pointed out. As a positive control, 4 dose...

Cornelian cherry ( Cornus mas ) is a valuable source of phenolic antioxidants. Flavonoid derivatives as nonenzymatic antioxidants are important in the pathophysiology many diseases including neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease) or heart disease. In this study, we examined effect an addition freeze-dried fruit cornelian on three types diets: control diet, fructose and diet enriched fats (high-fat diet). This was studied by determining following antioxidant parameters both brain...

BACKGROUND:Use of a hookah (a type water pipe) is traditional way smoking tobacco, particularly in the Middle East. In Turkey, its popularity has been growing recent years, especially among young people. It known that cigarette genotoxic effects and causes mutations, but no comprehensive study done on usage, Turkey. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We collected peripheral blood/buccal smear samples from 30 subjects who did not smoke cigarettes regularly an average 2 times per week, control had never...

This 60 day study investigated the effects of organically certified nucleotide yeast-derived protein source (Nu-Pro®) on growth, feed efficiency, fillet proximate composition and digestive enzymes in rainbow trout (Onchorhyncus mykiss). Diets were isonitrogenous isocaloric. Three experimental diets wherein 20%, 40% 60% fish meal content was replaced by Nu-Pro®, compared to control diet which crude anchovy corn gluten meal. The (initial weight 27 g/fish) fed twice daily 200-l Aqaria. Live...

The present study investigated the effects of prebiotic inulin on growth parameters, digestive enzyme activities and antioxidant status rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). After acclimation, fish (34±0.22 g; n = 135) were assigned into 9 tanks (15 per tank) triplicate groups fed a control diet (G-0) or diets containing 1% (G-1) 2% (G-2) inulin. At end trial (8 weeks), factors (final weight, weight gain, specific rate (SGR), food conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency (PER), Economic...
