To this end, male mice were injected intraperitoneally with ( 100 mg/kg B.W) for 7 days. Serum was collected to detect the concentration of ALT and TSB (liver functions). Urea and creatinine (a kidney function) concentration was measured. Testosterone, LH, and FSH (male reproductive function) concentration were evaluated. Our results revealed a significant reduction in ALT concentration in the grape seed extraction group compared with the control group. Total serum bilirubin was non-detectable in both the grape seed extraction group as well as the control group. Urea and creatinine concentrations appeared to have no significant change between both grape seed extraction and the control group. Testosterone, LH, and FSH hormone levels were significantly raised in the grape seed extraction group compared with the control group. Prolactin hormone results revealed no change in both the grape seed extraction group and the control group. Our study showed up that grape seed extract can improve male reproductive hormones without any toxic effect on the liver or kidney.","PeriodicalId":218727,"journal":{"name":"Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114594502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They’d divided into four equal groups for 30 days: group A (control group) served as control; group B (Dzn group) administered an oral daily dose of 1/10 LD 50 (3.8mg/ kg.bw) from diazinon; group C (Dzn + Vit.B 12 group) administered an oral daily dose of 1/10 LD 50 (3.8 mg / kg bw) from diazinon, in addition to the systemic intramuscular doses of (4 mg/kg) from Vit.B 12 in daily basis; group D (Vit.B 12 group) administered daily systemic intramuscular doses of (4 mg/kg) Vit.B 12 only. The results showed that group C had a significant improvement in the antioxidant indicators compared with group B in which the CAT, GSH, and SOD serum activities showed significant increasing (P≤0.05) in group C, in addition, it revealed a significant decreasing (P≤0.05) in the values of MDA and peroxynitrite comparing to the same levels of the group B. The histological results of the liver of group C showed a great improvement compared with group B which showed normal hepatic architecture consisting of normal hepatocytes, and normal sinusoids with normal other hepatic components except mild central vein dilation. The current study concludes that vitamin B 12 helps to ameliorate the diazinon hepatotoxic effects as a model for a wide spread of organophosphorus compounds in agriculture and veterinary sectors by ameliorating its harmful oxidation on the liver since vitamin B 12 is cheap and available as a commercial supplement therefore we recommend its uses","PeriodicalId":218727,"journal":{"name":"Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115084268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of current study is to assess and compare the influence of Quercus infectoria galls ( QI g) extract and glimepiride on pancreatic β-cells secretory function and serum lipid profile in diabetic rats. In the present study, thirty six male rats were used and divided into six groups (n=6), including negative control, STZ induced diabetic control, treated diabetic rats with glimepiride (200mg/Kg Bw), and treated diabetic rats with different concentrations QI g extract, 200 mg, 400 mg and 800 mg/Kg Bw for 42 days, respectively. At the end of the experiment, all rats were fasted overnight, blood samples were collected for measuring fasting blood glucose, insulin hormone and lipid profile. All rats were then scarified by using chloroform in order to take part of the pancreatic tissue. The results show a significant decrease in blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, HbA1c% with obvious elevation in serum insulin hormone and high-density lipoprotein in diabetic rats treated with QI g extract and glimepiride compared with diabetic untreated group. In addition, high atherogenic index in diabetic rats was significantly reduced by different concentrations of QI g extract and glimepiride. Histopathogical results revealed that there was a significant and dose-dependent morphological restoration in the pancreatic structure damages especially at high dose of the extract. These findings provide a new insight into the role of QI g methanolic extract in maintaining normal blood glucose and adequate pancreatic insulin hormone secretion in diabetic rats, amelioration of dyslipidemia and associated cardiovascular alterations with subsequent improvement in pancreatic structural damages in diabetic rats.","PeriodicalId":218727,"journal":{"name":"Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research","volume":"2864 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127448471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vitamins, polypeptides and amino acids, minerals, enzymes, and other nutraceuticals are examples. Vitamins are dietary substances that are required for vital cell functions such as cell development, growth, and metabolism process. Mineral nutrition is critical in broiler chicken production, with an emphasis on manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and copper (Cu).

The partial sequencing of the 16s rRNA gene was evaluated and compared with those in the Gene Bank to find differences in the sequence using the BLAST tool (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). On the other hand, the CRISPR-Cas system was examined in all isolates of multidrug-resistant S. epidermidis in which the SECR1 and SECR2 elements were not found. The cas6 element was found in all of the tested bacterial strains. Susceptibility tests were done using the disc diffusion method after identification. Antibiotic resistance testing on S. epidermidis isolates revealed the highest percentage of multi-resistance to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, chloramphenicol, cefalexin, vancomycin, nalidixic acid at 100%. Moreover, S. epidermidis isolates showed intermediate effect against amoxillin-clavulanic acid, tobramycin, neomycin, oxacillin, tetracycline and methicillin. However, S. epidermidis isolates were found to be the most sensitive to erythromycin, norfloxacin and rifampicin. The CRISPR-Cas system can be found in S. epidermidis isolates from a variety of local sources and that the appearance of the CRISPR system in S. epidermidis isolates plays a unique role in antibiotic suitability.","PeriodicalId":218727,"journal":{"name":"Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127073738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The left and right testis specimens were routinely processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The tunica albuginea is a thick sheet of dense, fibrous connective tissue that covers testicular tissue. The mean thickness of the tunics of an adult local bull differed significantly (p≤0.05) between the left and right testis. Thin septa that extended from the tunica albuginea to the mediastinum testis separated the parenchyma into lobules. Tortuous seminiferous tubules were found in each lobule. The mean diameter of the rounded seminiferous tubule of the left testicle was substantially (P<0.05) larger than that the right testicle. Tubular differential index (TDI) and spermatogenesis index (SPI) were found substantially (P<0.05) higher in the left testicle than the right. Sertoli cells are roughly pyramidal in shape, with an oval nucleus. The spermatogonia were circular or cuboidal in shape and possessed a round, dark nuclei. The large spherical nuclei and granular chromatin aggregates were found in primary spermatocytes. The spherical spermatids were small and elongated spermatids were developed. Some seminiferous tubules contain both spermatids and spermatozoa. Either narrow strands of interstitial tissue among two seminiferous tubules or massive triangular and quadrangular interstitial spaces separate up to three tubules. It contains only blood capillaries, a few Leydig cells, and some fibroblast cells, or extensive vessels (blood and lymph), as well as many Leydig cells.
