Weaning is a development stage that brings maternal independence, change of management and feeding, leading to immune deficit. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hematological and biochemical parameters of foals in weaning phase after intravenous administration of hyperimmune plasma (1 mL/Kg) in low dose. Ten foal weaned from the Mangalarga Machador breed were used, being divided in control (GC; n=5) and treated group (GT; n=5). The results obtained show that hematological and biochemical parameters of foals that received low doses of hyperimmune plasma were within the reference range for the equine species.

We investigated the protective effects of resveratrol on hematological and biochemical changes induced by fluoride in rats. A total of 28 rats were divided into 4 groups: control, resveratrol, fluoride, and fluoride/resveratrol(n=7each), for a total of 21 days of treatment. Blood samples were taken and hematological and biochemical parameters were measured. Compared to the control group, the fluoride-treated group showed significant differences in several hematological parameters, including decreases in WBC, RBC, and PLT counts and neutrophil ratio. The group that received resveratrol alone showed a decrease in WBC count compared to the control group. Furthermore, in comparison to the control group, the fluoride group showed significantly increased ALT enzyme activity and decreased inorganic phosphorus level. The hematological and biochemical parameters in the fluoride + resveratrol treated group were similar to control group. In the fluoride + resveratrol group, resveratrol restored the changes observed following fluoride treatment, including decreased counts of WBC, RBC, and PLT, decreased neutrophil ratio and inorganic phosphorus levels, and elevated ALT enzyme activity. The present study showed that fluoride caused adverse effects in rats and that resveratrol reduced hematological and biochemical alterations produced by fluoride exposure.

A total of 24 rats were divided into 4 groups: control, stress, extract alone, and stress + extract (n=6each), for total 21 days of treatment. The immobilization stress was induced in rats by putting them in 20 cm × 7 cm plastic tubes for 2 h/day for 21 days. Rats were postorally treated withSalvadora persicaat a dose of 900 mg/kg body weight via intragastric intubations. At the end of the test period, hematological and biochemical parameters were determined in blood and serum samples with determination of vital organs weights. The vital organ weights were not significantly affected in stressed rats as compared to control rats. Compared to the control group, the stress treated group showed significances in several hematological parameters, including decreases in WBC, RBC, and PLT counts. Furthermore, in comparison to the control group, the stress group showed significantly increased blood glucose, serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triacylglycerols levels and decreased HDL-cholesterol level. The hematological and biochemical parameters in the stress + extract treated group were approximately similar to control group. The SP extract restored the changes observed following stress treatment.

1. We randomized 475 men whose diastolic blood pressure was 92–109 mmHg to either placebo- or captopril-treated (37.5, 75 and 150 mg/day) groups for 7 weeks. 2. After 7 weeks, the placebo-treated patients were given hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg twice daily), as were two-thirds of each captopril-treated group, and they were observed for 7 additional weeks. 3. Captopril reduced blood pressure by 12.2 ± 0.8/9.4 ± 0.4 mmHg at 7 weeks (n = 323) and captopril plus placebo by 10.3 ± 1.9/10.2 ± 0.9 at 14 weeks (n = 83); placebo by 20 ± 1.7/3.4 ± 0.8 (n = 76); captopril plus hydrochlorothiazide by 24.4 ± 1.1/16.2 ± 0.6 (n = 173). The effect of low-dose captopril was similar to that of a high dose. The effect of twice-daily captopril appeared to be equal to that of thrice-daily treatment but monitoring studies are needed to confirm this. 4. Only 15 out of 384 (3.9%) of patients were dropped from the study because of adverse effects. 5. Low-dose captopril may be useful in patients with mild to moderate hypertension.

The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of apricot kernel on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver injury in male albino rats. To achieve this purpose and to explain, the histological, hematological and biochemical parameters were included. Thirty male albino rats were used and randomly divided to in to three groups. The first group represented control group which received normal diet and intraperitoneal injection with oil (0.5 ml/kg). The second  group injected with CCl4(1 ml/kg), represented the CCl4(1 ml/kg)model,the third groupwere treated like the second group with 15%/ day apricot kernelfor a month . The  apricot kernel extracts treated group showed significant differences in AST, ALT, ALP, direct bilirubin, , GSH, liver SOD, WBC, LYM and PLT when compared to CCl4 treated rats. In the current study histological section through the liver of control rats showed normal architecture of hepatocytes.Although Paraffin section of the rat liver treated with CCl4 most of the hepatocytes were degenerated, congestion of blood and inflammatory leukocyte infiltration were observed,the results showed that CCl4 injection caused significant alterations in histological and biochemical parameters but our study showed that the apricot kernel administration showed improvement of histological analysis for four weeks (March to April 2015).

The present study aimed to explain the dose-dependent possible deleterious effects of 30 day administration of Tramadol on some hematological and biochemical parameters of laboratory male rats (Rattus norvegicus), the study consisted of eighteen adult male rats randomly divided into three equal groups (each of six). Group 1 (control) were treated by intraperitoneal injection of normal saline solution (0.2 ml), group two (low dose) was treated by intraperitonealy (i.p) injection of Tramadol at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day, group three (high dose) was treated by intraperitonealy injection of Tramadol at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day for 30 days. At the end of experimental period, rats were sacrificed. Blood were collected by cardiac puncture to investigate blood film and biochemical parameters which include Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), urea, and glucose. Results explained a significant reduction in hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), and red blood cells count (RBC), in both treated group and significant elevation in WBC count which is clearly appeared in lymphocyte count, while the biochemical results showed a significant increased in ALT, blood urea, and decreased in blood glucose level in high dose treated group mostly

The present study was aimed to investigate the possible effects of the anti-epileptic drug lamotrigine (LTG) on some haematological and biochemical parameters in adult female rats. Forty-eight female rats were divided into three groups (each group=16). Group one can be considered as a control group, group two and three administrated lamotrigine drugs orally at a dose of 3.57mg/kg body weight and 7.14mg/kg body weight for 7,14,21,28 day and all groups fed with standard rat feed. The results showed that there were significant (P≤0.05) changes in haematological parameters in group two and three when compared with the control group during all period except the mean level of corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The liver enzyme aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) and serum urea, creatinine with calcium, potassium, sodium and chloride ion showed significant alteration in the treated group, the relative organ weight showed significant changes in group two and three in comparison with control group during 7,14,21 and 28 days. Estradiol level in group three increased at 7, 14 and 21 day and decreased at 28 days of treatment when compared with group two and the control group. This study suggested that treatment of healthy female albino rats with therapeutic doses of lamotrigine drug for 28 days generally affect on included parameters in this study.   http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.044

The purpose of the research: study of the influence of increased doses of fenbendazole supramolecular complex (FSMC) on sheep’s organism. Materials and methods. The experiment was carried out at the Podolsk Department of All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Fundamental and Applied Parasitology of Animals and Plants named after K. I. Skryabin on 20 manorial invasion-free sheep aged 2-3 years old. Animals were divided according to the principle of analogues into 4 groups, 5 heads in each group. Animals of the 1, 2 and 3 group were orally administered with FSMC given as a single dose of 2, 6, 10 mg/kg, respectively, according to the active substance, i.e in therapeutic and in a dose increased by 3 and 5 times. Sheep of the fourth group didn’t receive the drug and they were as control. Study of clinical, hematological and biochemical parameters of animals from all groups was conducted 1 day before and in 1, 3, 5 days after administration of the drug by means of standard methods. Results and discussion. FSMC in therapeutic dose as well as in a dose increased by 3 and 5 times doesn’t have negative influence on clinical, hematological and biochemical parameters of the sheep. State of the sheep, which received the drug in doses of 20, 60, 100 mg/kg, was within the physiologically normal state and didn’t differ from the state before administration of the drug and from the animals of the control group. Drug security index exceeds 5. Red blood cell count, white blood cell count, hemoglobin count, leukogram parameters as well as biochemical parameters of blood: activity of alkaline phosphatase and amylase, bilirubin, creatinine, urea and glucose counts were within normal limits and didn’t differ from the parameters of the control animals.
