Effects of dietary nanoliposome-coated astaxanthin on haematological parameters, immune responses and the antioxidant status of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Background: Astaxanthin is the most prevalent carotenoid in the marine environment and is widely used as an additive in formulated aquafeeds.

Objectives: A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to consider the effect of dietary nanoliposome-coated astaxanthin (NA) on haematological parameters, serum antioxidant activities and immune responses of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss.

Methods: A total of 450 healthy fish weighing 31.

Manifestation of Bronchial Hyperreactivity from Exposure to Heavy and Precious Metal Vapors among the Ore Smeltery Workers of Zveçan, Kosovo.

Dietary supplementation with dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) flower extract provides immunostimulation and resistance against Streptococcus iniae infection in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchusmykiss).

Dandelion flower is a well-known phytomedicine due to its therapeutic effects on dyspepsia, bile duct disorders, spleen and liver complaints, and inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to assess the effect of dietary dandelion flower extract (DFE) on skin mucosal and humoral immunity, immune-related gene expression, and disease resistance in rainbow trout.

In Vitro Action of Meconium on Bronochomotor Tonus of Newborns with Meconium Aspiration Syndrome.

Aim: Here we studied the role of meconium in the respiratory system on live and exited newborns (weight 250-3000 g). Throughout this study is followed the response of tracheal rings in acetylcholine and histamine in different molar concentrations (10, 10, 10, 10 mol/dm).

Methods: To study the smooth tracheal musculature we used 23 tracheal preparations obtained from the newborns exited from meconium aspiration.
