The study presented results of exploration of liver functional activity and morphological structure on the experimental model of drug-induced hepatitis by twice administration of 1000 mg/kg acetaminophen to nonlinear both sexes white rats treated by preventive administration of novel pharmaceutic formulation with laboratory code LHT-8-16. The substance was administered to the animals intra-gastrically 1 hour prior to acetaminophen intake. We studied changes in biochemical blood indices, which characterize the functional activity of the liver, assessed the organ histological structure, and performed macro- and micro-morphometric analysis. It has been shown that the substance LHT-8-16 prevents the toxic effect of acetaminophen on the functional activity of the liver, which was displayed in the decrease of activity of drug-induced cytolytic and cholestatic syndromes, normalizing the level of total bilirubin in rats’ serum. The appearance of the liver, its relative and absolute weight in animals with drug-induced hepatitis, who received LHT-8-16, was comparable with the intact rats. On histological specimens stained with hematoxylin and eosin we observed a decrease in the area of necrosis of hepatic parenchyma, preservation of tissue structure. Hyperemia and extending sinusoids occurred on the periphery of the body and were less pronounced in comparison with the control group. The area of the cytoplasm, the nuclei and the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio approximated the values of the intact group. The appearance of multi-nuclear hepatocytes referred to the activation of the synthetic activity of the liver and onset of regeneration mechanisms. Thus, it can be concluded that the studied formulation possesses hepatoprotective property.

Для получения препаратов и добавок, обладающих антиоксидантными свойствами, представляют интерес выжимки томатов, образующиеся при производстве сока прямого отжима с предварительным отделением семян. Проведена сравнительная оценка эффективности функциональных свойств образцов пищевой добавки, полученных из выжимок томатов по различным технологиям: образец добавки 1 получен по технологии, включающей ИК-сушку выжимок, их охлаждение и измельчение; образец добавки 2 – по инновационной технологии, включающей дополнительную предварительную обработку выжимок в ЭМП СВЧ перед ИК-сушкой. Исследования проводили в течение 30 дней на трех группах лабораторных белых крыс: контрольной, животные которой получали стандартный рацион, и двух опытных, в которых животные помимо основного рациона получали при кормлении индивидуально 1 раз в сутки 2 г добавки образца 1 (1-я опытная группа) или образца 2 (2-я опытная группа). Установлено, что степень снижения концентрации ферментов печени АсАт и АлАт в крови животных 2-й опытной группы соответственно на 10,6 и 11,0% выше, чем в крови животных 1-й опытной группы. Степень снижения содержания диеновых коньюгатов, кетодиенов и малонового диальдегида в крови животных 2-й опытной группы была соответственно на 22,1; 10,1 и 12,7% выше по сравнению с аналогичными показателями животных 1-й опытной группы. Таким образом, доказано, что пищевая добавка «Томатная», выработанная по инновационной технологии, проявляет ярко выраженные антиоксидантные и гепатопротекторные свойства, что обеспечивает нормализацию биохимических процессов в организме, повышает его антиоксидантную защиту и препятствует разрушению мембран клеток. For the obtaining of preparations and additives with antioxidant properties, tomato pomace, formed during the production of direct-pressed juice with preliminary separation of seeds, is of interest. A comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of the functional properties of food additive samples obtained from tomato pomace using various technologies was carried out. The sample of additive 1 was obtained using a technology that includes IR drying of pomace, cooling and grinding; the sample of additive 2 was obtained using a technology that includes additional pretreatment of pomace in microwave EMF before IR drying. The studies were carried out for 30 days on three groups of laboratory white rats: a control group, the animals of which were given a standard diet, and two experimental ones, in which the animals, in addition to the main diet, were given individually once a day with 2 g of an additive of sample 1 (1st experimental group) or sample 2 (2nd experimental group). It was found that the degree of decrease in the concentration of liver enzymes AsAt and AlAt in the blood of animals of the 2nd experimental group was respectively 10,6 and 11,0% higher, than in the blood of animals of the 1st experimental group. The degree of decrease in the content of diene conjugates, ketodienes and malondialdehyde in the blood of animals of the 2nd experimental group was higher respectively by 22,1; 10,1 and 12,7% compared with similar indicators of animals of the 1st experimental group. Thus, it is proved that the food additive «Tomatnaya», developed by innovative technology, shows pronounced antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties, which ensures the normalization of biochemical processes in the body, increases its antioxidant protection and prevents the destruction of cell membranes.

The study of morphological changes in the kidneys of white rats after intramuscular injection of insulin at a dose of 1 IU/kg of body weight was carried out. The insulin effect was amplified using stress models of immobilization and swimming. Blood samples from tail vein of rats were taken to confirm the action of insulin. At autopsy, the authors conducted the fence venous blood flowing from the kidneys. Comparison with a control group showed that morphological changes in the renal parenchyma were formed after the insulin introduction and characterized by venous congestion in the microvasculature, ischemic changes in the renal parenchyma with areas of hemorrhage, thickening of the basement membrane, expansion of tubules, hydropic degeneration of the epithelium, hypertrophy and enlargement of the loops of the glomeruli. Measurement of glucose in venous blood flowing from the kidneys revealed hyperglycemia. The morphological changes in the tissues of the kidney indicate the development of venous congestion, glomerular hyperfiltration and hypovolemia, hypertension, glycosuria, glycosylation membranes, the deposition of glycogen in the epithelium of kidney tubules, microalbuminuria. The obtained results allow to draw attention to the fact that among the factors of damage during the development of diabetic nephropa-thy, a hyperinsulinemia may have a negative impact

In order to improve the digestibility and absorption of feed, metabolic processes, growth and development of animals, increase the resistance of the body immunomodulatory agents, probiotics, prebiotics, combined enzyme-probiotic feed additives are widely used. The purpose of our work was to conduct comparative clinical trials of the effectiveness of the probiotic feed additive Probion-forte in terms of productivity, blood indices and histological structure of individual internal  pigs organs during fattening. The researches were carried out on 120 piglets of big white breed at the age of 28 days, which were divided into 4 groups with 30 units in each one. The probiotics were added to feed in different concentrations in order to determine their efficiency and examine influence on piglets organism: the first group was given probiotic Probion-forte in dose of 1.0 g/kg (10 weeks); the second one – Probion in dose of 1.0 g/kg (6 weeks) and 0.5 g/kg (4 weeks); the third one was given probiotic Bio Plus 2B in dose of 0.4 g/kg for 10 weeks; and the fourth one was a control group. The compound feed was provided according to norms recommended for big white breed taking into account age. On the 42nd day (6 weeks) and on the 70th day of test 10 units were selected for haematological, pathomorphological and microbiological tests. The productivity of animals of all studied groups was evaluated by the average daily gains, safety, feed conversion and slaughter output. The stabilized with EDTA piglets’ blood was used for morphological studies, and blood serum – for biochemical studies. The clinical trials have shown that the application of Probion-forte, as a feed additive for fattening of piglets within 10 weeks after weaning, did not cause adverse reactions, was well tolerated by animals and contributed to the improvement of the processes of erythropoiesis and leucopoiesis, increased of serum total protein content. The increasing activity of serum transaminases indicated more intense metabolic processes in experimental animals’ organism, which was confirmed by increase in average daily weight gains and slaughter output compared to control. In the microscopic examination of the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, intestines, liver, the characteristic histological structure of the organs was preserved and indicated their active morphofunctional state throughout the study period. Morphometrically the increase in the height of the villi in the duodenum and the size of the thymus lobes in piglets, which were fed with probiotic feed additives was established. The efficiency and appropriateness of the application of these products was confirmed in the first and second experimental groups. However, the most significant difference was observed in piglets fed with Probion-forte for 10 weeks at a dose of 1.0 g/kg of feed.

The action effects of the low-intensity low-frequency magnetic field (LMF) are mainly studied in its therapeutic use and to a much lesser extent in the mode of primary prevention. Aim. To identify adaptive metabolic and ultrastructural changes in the testes of rats under the preventive action of LMF under radiation conditions. Material and methods. The experiments were carried out on 28 mature non-linear male rats weighing 180-200 g. the animals were divided into 3 groups: in the experimental group, the animals received a course of LMF procedures followed by radiation exposure; in the control group, the animals were subjected only to radiation exposure; in the intact group, the animals were not exposed to any effects. The animals were slaughtered the day after the radiation exposure. the research methods were used: biochemical (to determine the content of RNA, DNA, antioxidant activity of the testes), light – optical (to count the number of convoluted seminiferous tubule – CST, exfoliated cells, spermatogonia, to determine the index of spermatogenesis); transmission electron microscopy; morphometric analysis of mitochondria (number, average and total area). Results. The preventive effect of LMF enhanced the adaptive capabilities of the body and increased the resistance of the testes to the effects of radiation. This was manifested in an increase in the power of the antioxidant system, activation oof the cellular and intracellular regeneration processes, and a decrease in the permeability of the structures of the CST’s own shell. Conclusion. The obtained data substantiate the possibility of using LMF as a means of protecting the organs of the reproductive system in the complex prevention of the body under the influence of radiation.

ABSTRACTBackground: Obesity is a disorder or disease characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the body due to an imbalance in energy intake that is used for a long time. Accumulation of fat can reduce adiponectin, causing cardiac hypertrophy, endothelial vasodilation, and other cardiovascular diseases. Black garlic have high antioxidants in the form of S-Allylcysteine(SAC) which functions to increase adiponectin. Objective: To determine the effect of Black garlic on the histopathological picture of the heart and aorta of obese rats. Methods: This study was an experimental study with a randomized post-test only design with control group design with 5 groups of male white rats Sprague Dawley (Rattus novergicus) fed High Fat Fructose. Diet (HFFD) enriched with 1.25% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid for 8 weeks and was given black garlic intervention at doses of 450 mg / 200BW, 900mg / 200BW and 1350mg200 / BW for 4 weeks. Results: Giving black garlic significantly reduced body weight of rats (p = 0.001), and the results did not significantly reduce heart weight (p = 0.147), aortic weight (p = 0.061), histopathological changes in heart wall thickness (p = 0.423) and aortic wall thickness (p = 0.802). The effective doses of black garlic in this study were 450 mg / 200 grams BW, 900 mg / 200 grams rat BW and 1350 mg / 200 grams BW of rats. The optimal dose is 900 mg / 200 grams BW. Conclusion: Black garlic gave a significant reduction in body weight of rats and no significant reduction in heart weight, aortic weight, cardiac and aortic histopathological features.

The current study aimed to investigate the influence of dietary zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs), curcumin nanoparticles (CurNPs), and Bacillus licheniformis (Bl) on the growth, carcass, blood metabolites, and the count of some cecal microorganisms of Indian River (IR) broilers. Chicks were allotted into seven experimental groups: control group, 1st, 2nd and 3rd groups were given diets enriched with ZnNPs, CurNPs and Bl (3.0, 5.0 and 2.0 cm3/kg diet, respectively). The 4th, 5th and 6th groups were given diets supplemented with ZnNPs (3.0) + Bl (2.0) (ZP); ZnNPs (3.0) + CurNPs (5.0) (ZC) and ZnNPs (3.0) + CurNPs (5.0) + Bl (2.0) (ZCP) cm3/kg diet, respectively. The results revealed that ZnNPs and CurNPs exhibited a considerable antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria and fungi. They also inhibited the growth of microbes in a range of 50–95 µg/mL. The diet supplemented with ZnNPs, CurNPs, and Bl increased the body weight compared to the control after five weeks of age. Additionally, values of daily feed intake increased in these groups; however, the feed conversion ratio decreased. All values of carcass traits were better than that of the control. The treatments led to decreased abdominal lipids compared to the control. The activity of liver enzymes and malondialdehyde (MDA) activity decreased in the treated groups. In a converse trend, the levels of oxidative enzymes, amylase, protease, lipase and immunoglobulin were higher than that of the control. Meat quality properties were improved and cecal microbial counts were decreased. In conclusion, the ZnNPs, CurNPs, and Bl improved the broiler’s weights, carcass traits, meat quality traits, as well as some blood indices and cecal microbial load. Therefore, the inclusion of ZnNPs, CurNPs, or Bl is recommended for broiler feeding regimens to improve the performance and health status.

Currently, it is important in aquaculture to study and use products and additives, which have positive effects on the digestibility of nutrients by helping to normalize the intestinal microflora, thereby modulating fish immune response. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of a prebiotic based on mannan oligosaccharides produced from the outer walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells on the histological structure, morphometric state of the intestine and activity of cellular and humoral components of nonspecific resistance of age -2+ carp. The experiment was conducted in four analogous ponds, which were stocked with age-1 scaly carp with an average weight of 55–58 g with a stocking density of 1000 fish/ha. Carp had been fed balanced compound feed for 60 days. Experimental groups of fish were fed with a prebiotic as a feed additive in the amount of: 0.025 % – Experiment 1, 0.05 % – Experiment 2 and 0.075 % – Experiment 3. Use of the studied prebiotic did not damage the intestinal histological structure of carp of the experimental groups. The villi height and intestinal crypt depth of carp in Experiment 1 (P < 0.05) and Experiment 2 (P < 0.01) were larger compared to the control group. Experiment 3 showed destructive changes in intestinal mucosa. The results of histological examination indicated the effectiveness of the use of the studied prebiotic in the amount of 0.025 and 0.05 % in the diet of age -1+ carp due to the absence of pathological changes and active morphofunctional state of the intestine, which, in turn, had a positive effect on feed absorption and metabolic processes in fish body. Analysis of the indicators of cellular and humoral links of natural resistance showed that in carp of the second and third experimental groups lysozyme activity of serum was 5 and 11 % (P < 0.001) higher than in the control group. Similar changes, though found in a greater extent, were recorded in the study of bactericidal activity of blood serum, especially in individuals of the second and third experimental groups (by 6.8 (P < 0.01) and 15.2 %). While with carps of the third experimental group, which used a prebiotic drug in the amount of 0.075 %, the content of CEC was 20.5 % higher than in the control group, which indicates an additional antigenic load on the body and is an unfavorable diagnostic factor. At the same time, with the fish of the second experimental group, which received, respectively, 0.05 % of the supplement of the drug “Actigen” to the main diet, probably higher phagocytic activity of blood neutrophils was recorded. A direct dependence of the growth of the phagocytic index and the phagocytic number of neutrophils on the dose of the studied prebiotic was detected. Immunological studies indicated a dose-dependent effect of the prebiotic on the activity of cellular and humoral components of non-specific resistance of carp. Given this, for the effective functioning of innate protective mechanisms, for the increase of the body's immune potential and productivity, it is most appropriate to apply to the diet of carp prebiotic supplement “Actigen” in the amount of 0.025 and 0.05 %.

Abstract Background Animal venoms have been known as a source of drugs beneficial to human health. Accordingly, this study was designed to determine the effect of bradykinin potentiating factor (BPF) separated from honey bee venom, Apis mellifera on histological structure, thyroid and male sex hormones of the thyroid gland and testis in a model of hypothyroid male white rats induced by carbimazole. Results This study includes male rats divided into 6 main and sub-groups (10 rats in each group). Control group, carbimazole group, levothyroxine group, BPF group, carbimazole group treated with levothyroxine and carbimazole group treated with BPF. At the end of experiments (60 days) rats were sacrificed and dissected; the blood was collected for determination of thyroid and male sex hormones. Also, the thyroid gland and testis were taken to histological study. The results indicated that, carbimazole group showed a highly significant decrease in thyroid hormones (T4, T3, Ft4 and Ft3) and male sex hormones (LH, FSH and testosterone), but a significant increase in TSH compared to control group. The results revealed that, treated groups with levothyroxine or BPF have significant increase in thyroid and male sex hormones and significant decreasein TSH. A significant improvement was detected in co-treated groups (hypothyroid groups) with levothyroxine or (BPF). Also, the present study showed a histopathological change in thyroid gland and testis of hypothyroid male rats. Conclusion Treated hypothyroid rats with levothyroxine as a drug and BPF as a natural product showed an improvement of these complications induced by carbimazole in thyroid gland and testis. Therefore, BPF may be benefical in treatment of hypothyroidism.

This study aims to analyze the administration of mangosteen peel ethanol extract at different doses can reduce levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) serum in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strains exposed to electric cigarette smoke. Electric cigarette induces mitochondrial ROS production and triggers oxidative stress. Antioxidants are needed by the body if there are many free radicals, for example mangosteen peel. This laboratory experimental study uses a randomized post test only control group design. Thirty male white rats were divided into 5 groups randomly (KK, KR, P1, P2, P3). KK given 0.5% Na-CMC, KR given smoke and 0.5% Na-CMC, P1, P2, P3 given smoke and mangosteen peel ethanol extract 100, 200, 300 mg / kg weight. Data were tested for normality and homogeneity tests. Data distribution was found not normal. Data were tested by Kruskal-Wallis Test and Mann-Whitney. Kruskal-Wallis Test results showed significant differences in MDA and LTB4 levels in each experimental group (KS, KR, P1, P2 and P3), p <0.05. Mann-Whitney test results showed a significant difference in the MDA levels of the KR against P3 and in the LTB4 level of the KR against P2 (p <0.05). The conclusion of the study was the administration of mangosteen peel ethanol extract can reduce MDA and LTB4 levels serum in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strains exposed to electric cigarette smoke.
