GSI increased during March concomitant with gradual increase in levels of T, P and 17α-HP. Highest values of these parameters were observed at different stages of gonadal development. T and 11-KT played key role in progress of testicular development and final maturation in June howev...

Fish reared at high stocking density had significant lower total protein (TP), cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and glucose (Glu) content in serum compared with those reared at low density on day 90 and 120 (P<0.05). In conclusion, the present results indicated that the largemouth bass (36-308 g) could be re...

The cumulative mortality in F3 was significantly lower than that of the other groups at d4 after challenge (P<0.05). In conclusion, both low and high feeding frequencies could cause stress of juvenile Procambarus clarkia and the optimal feeding frequency to enhance growth and immunity of this species at juvenile stage is...

These results confirmed the use of immune booster along with other therapy to successfully treat the BEF in field conditions.

Pretreatment with ACTH tended to downregulate total GR protein levels (P =0.084), and LPS tended to inhibit GR protein expression in the nucleus (P =0.088). Pulmonary expression level of Let-7i targeted TLR4 was significantly increased by ACTH treatment (P =0.013), but not with LPS. These results sug...

A total of 84 Nulliparous Blanc de Bouscat does were randomly allocated into one of four experimental groups (non-UVB, 12-h UVB, 8-h UVB and 4-h UVB) according to the duration of exposure to UVB radiation (n = 21 for each group). Behavioural patterns of rabbits were monitored for ...

...arly, the mean values of cortisol were comparatively higher in control breed than Damani experimental group, showing that Damani breed was more prone to heat stress conditions than control group and that oxidative stress, induced by heat stress, may have a negative effect on the availability of Se, which accordingly resulted in reduced synthesis of thyroid hormones. Beside that the concentrations of total protein, cholesterol, albumin and glucose were found si...

The present study was aimed to find the reliability of the faecal and urine samples for the determination of the stress levels in animals. A non-invasive technique was used to measure the cortisol levels. Urine and faecal samples of male and female blackbucks (Antilope cervicapra) were collected from Lahore Zoo, Safari Zoo and Jallo Zoo in ...

However, its anti-stress effects mechanism has not been fully revealed. In this work, based on network pharmacology, the potential targets of OR were screened, and an protein-protein interaction (PPI) network between the target of OR and anti-stress target was constructed using STRING datab...

The iron profile of infected animals was characterized by a significant (P˂0.05) hypoferremia, hyperferritinemia, and hypotransferrinemia. The estimated pro-inflammatory cytokines and APPs yielded high sensitivity and specificity values in both infected species, but IL-1&bet...
