The aim of this research was to explore the influence of Mozart KV 448 classical music therapy to the neuroglia cells of mice’s hippocampus that were exposed to stress during prenatal. This research were employing twenty female mices and twenty male mices. Female mices were estrus synchronized with PMSG and hCG then monomating to the males. Pregnant females were then divided into four groups (P0, P1, P2, P3). P0 was as control, P1 was treated by one minute forced swim test, P2 was treated by one minute forced swim test followed by thirtyminutes classical music Mozart KV 448 and P3 was treated by one minute forced swim test followed by sixty minutes classical music Mozart KV 448. This research was carried out for twenty-one days during gestation period. The neuroglia density result was analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan test. The neuroglia activity result wasanalyzed using Kruskal wallis test and Z test. The histology reading showed degradation of density and activity of hippocampus neuroglia.

Background: In recent years, several works have examined the reproductive traits of Algerian local population rabbit does but no standardization study has been done on the plasmatic parameters of this population of rabbits reared in the Aures region during their different physiological stages. Therefore, the present study evaluated the effect of these on certain blood parameters in local rabbit does.Methods: The rabbit does (n=120) were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups; Empty (E), Pregnant (P), Pregnant lactating (P-L) and Lactating (L). Does were first mated at the age of 16.5 weeks with an average body weight of 3107.1 ± 53.5g and with body condition scoring (BCS) of loin and rump ranging from 2 to 3 on a scale of 1- 5 following a 42-day rhythm. Four blood samples were collected from females of five rabbits in each group viz. E, P, P-L and L respectively.Result: Milk yield differs significantly (p less than 0.05) between the two experimental groups (P-L and L). Litter size and litter weight of does at birthing was higher (p less than 0.01) in L group than in P and P-L groups. That the mean levels glucose in non-pregnant group recorded as 0.22±0.04g/l which was increased 3rd week of pregnancy (0.65± 0.1 g/l followed by low mean value 0.35+0.2g/l and 0.4+0.1g/l at pregnant lactating and lactating stages of experimental rabbits. The lowest level of protein was recorded in the second week of pregnancy (p less than 0.05). The increase in total protein, albumin and globulin concentrations in lactating group might be physiological. Concerning total lipids, there was a strong mobilization of body fat in pregnant females (97 mg/dl ± 0.10; p less than 0.05). However, a marked decrease (p less than 0.05) was recorded in cholesterolemia in lactating females. Regarding triglyceridemia, we have recorded a significant raise (37.7 ± 35.6; p less than 0.001) in pregnant females. The creatinine value recorded was close to the physiological norms 1.3-2.7 mg/dl vs 1.08 -0. 92 mg/dl. T3 plasma levels were lower (p less than 0.05) in lactating females’ group. Pregnant and lactating does showed an increase (p less than 0.05) of leptin level. The higher (p less than 0.05) progesterone levels in pregnant and pregnant-lactating does than its concentrations in empty and lactating does might be attributed to maintaining pregnancy. Therefore, the current study confirms that the analysis of metabolites represents a good tool to understand the physiological mechanisms.

Sixty sexually mature, 15- to 22-week-old, male and female laboratory-bred Swiss albinos weighing 21 to 43g each were used in the present study to find out the effect of exposing mice to 35 to 40C0 for 4 hours on their blood parameters using Complete Blood Counts (CBC) as indicators. The experimental design was 4 groups of 2 X 2 factorial arrangements for genders and heat treatments. The genders were: 30 male mice and 30 female mice per treatment. The heat treatments were: Control: 30 mice (15 males and 15 females) kept for four hours at room temperature (25 ± 2 C0), and the heat stress: 30 mice (15 males and 15 females) kept at 35 to 40 0C ambient temperature for four hours. The variables measured were: white blood corpuscles (WBC), red blood corpuscles (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and platelets count (PLT). Exposure to the heat produced a profound effect on the blood. Differences in levels of WBC, MCHC, and PLT in males and females heat exposed groups were not significant, but those of the rest (RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, and MCH) were significant. Keywords: Albino mice, Mus musculus, heat stress, Complete Blood Count

Abstract. Objectives: Obesity plays an important role in the development of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A low resting metabolic rate (RMR) for a given body size and composition is a risk factor for obesity, however, there is limited evidence available regarding the association of nutrient patterns and RMR. The aim of this study was to determine the association of nutrient patterns and RMR in overweight and obese women. Study design: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 360 women who were overweight or obese. Method: Dietary intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative standard food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Nutrient patterns were also extracted by principal components analysis (PCA). All participants were evaluated for their body composition, RMR, and blood parameters. Result: Three nutrient patterns explaining 64% of the variance in dietary nutrients consumption were identified as B-complex-mineral, antioxidant, and unsaturated fatty acid and vitamin E (USFA-vit E) respectively. Participants were categorized into two groups based on the nutrient patterns. High scores of USFA-vit E pattern was significantly associated with the increase of RMR (β = 0.13, 95% CI = 0.79 to 68.16, p = 0.04). No significant associations were found among B-complex-mineral pattern (β = −0.00, 95% CI = −49.67 to 46.03, p = 0.94) and antioxidant pattern (β = 0.03, 95% CI −41.42 to 22.59, p = 0.56) with RMR. Conclusion: Our results suggested that the “USFA-vit E” pattern (such as PUFA, oleic, linoleic, vit.E, α-tocopherol and EPA) was associated with increased RMR.

ZusammenfassungEs werden die Fälle einer disseminierten letalen Toxoplasmose bei einer Farbmaus (Mus musculus) und einem Roten Panda (Ailurus fulgens) vorgestellt. Es handelte sich um eine als Haustier gehaltene Farbmaus und einen Roten Panda aus einem sächsischen zoologischen Garten. Die pathologische Untersuchung ergab bei beiden Tieren eine systemische Toxoplasmeninfektion. Eine hochgradige nekrotisierende Hepatitis stellte in beiden Fällen den histologischen Hauptbefund dar. Parasitenzysten fanden sich massenhaft in der Leber, in mäßiger Zahl im Gehirn und in geringer Zahl in anderen Organen. Mittels PAS-Reaktion waren diese Zysten bei der Farbmaus kaum darstellbar, beim Roten Panda dagegen sehr deutlich. PCR bzw. Immunhistologie bestätigten die Diagnose.
