Aspartame (ASP) is a sugar substitute. Its use rose because it has been demonstrated to have deleterious effects after being metabolized. In the presence of antioxidant vitamins C or E, the effects of ASP on reproductive hormones of adult male and female Albino Wister rats were investigated. A total of eighty male and female rats were used in this study. The rats were divided into four groups: group 1, received no treatment; group 2, received ASP at 40 mg/kg BW; group 3, received ASP at 40 mg/kg BW with vitamin C at 150 mg/kg BW; and group 4, received ASP at 40 mg/kg BW and vitamin E at 100 mg/kg BW. All treatments were given orally by gavage needle once daily for consecutive 90 days. The levels of estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating ho

The current study dealt with the isolation and identification of 19 isolates (14.07%) for the period (October 2013 to January 2014) from different samples (135 samples) number of isolates belonging to Pseudomonas aeruginosa were 8 isolated from urine samples, their percentage were 33.33 % and 5 isolates from nasal swabs, (11.11%) and 4 isolated from milk samples (9.30%), 2 isolated from wound swabs (24%) and isolates from eye infection (9.09%). These isolates were identified by morphological examination and biochemical tests and API-20 NE system. The second part was the study of the antibiotic susceptibility that was carried out on 19 isolates of P. aeruginosa for 12 types of antibiotic. The results showed that isolates were resistant to

The objective of this study was investigate the Physiological effect of
different concentrations of cadmium chloride in drinking water on some
biochemical and haematological parameters of male rats. Animals in this
experiment were randomly divided into four equal groups and treated for 15
weeks as follows : Rats in control group were offered ordinary tap water ,
while animal in M1 , M2 , and M3 were received 10 , 20 , 30 ppm Cdcl2 in
drinking water, respectively. The activity of Alanine aminotransferase
(ALP), Aspartate aminotrasferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in
serum were measured. Further mor, hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and
white blood cells count (WBCs) were detected. The result revealed that

     A broiler poultry farm of six weeks old, vaccinated with LaSota Newcastle disease virus vaccine. The flock was infected with a virulent Newcastle disease virus with mortality rate up to 90%. Newcastle disease virus was isolated from infected birds in embryonated chicken eggs and identified by haemagglutination inhibition test using hyperimmune serum prepared against LaSota viral vaccine. Median Death Time, Intracerebral Pathogenicity Index and Intravenous Pathogenicity Index proved that the virus was a virulent viscerotropic isolate. In experimental infection, broilers were vaccinated twice with LaSota strain, the level of anti-Newcastle disease virus IgG was checked by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test pre
