Dietary chestnut bee pollen as an immunostimulant for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): Effects on the growth, haematological values, immune response, oxidant/antioxidant status, and survival against Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. achromogenes.

The present study was designed to assess the influence of dietary supplementation with chestnut bee pollen at various levels in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. For two weeks feeding period, a total of 300 fish were allocated into 12 fiberglass tanks and divided into four equal groups, three replicates each, with chestnut bee pollen (BP) dietary inclusion as follows; the fish group was given a basal diet (C); fish group fed a diet supplemented with BP 1% (BP-1); fish group fed a diet supplemented with BP 2% (BP-2); and fish group fed a diet supplemented with BP 4% (BP-3). At the end of the experiment, growth, haematological values, immune status, antioxidant status, and survival rate against Aeromonas salmonicida subsp.

Effect of chlorpyrifos on some biochemical changes in : the protective effect of ellagic acid.

In this study, ameliorative effects of ellagic acid (EA) on oxidative stress induced by chlorpyrifos (CPF) in carp, , were investigated. Fish were divided into six groups: C (no treatment), EA (100 mg kg fish), CPF-1 (0.040 mg L), CPF-2 (0.

Ameliorative effect of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) essential oil on chlorpyrifos toxicity in Cyprinus carpio.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphate pesticide that is frequently and widely used to control both agricultural and domestic pests worldwide. In this study, the protective effect of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) essential oil (FEO) was investigated in carp (Cyprinus carpio) exposed to CPF. The fish were divided into six groups that one control group (no treatment) and five experimental groups (FEO (3ml/100g diet) group, CPF (0.

Cellular Mechanisms of Rejection of Optic and Sciatic Nerve Transplants: An Observational Study.

Background: Organ transplantation is a standard therapeutic strategy for irreversible organ damage, but the utility of nerve transplantation remains generally unexplored, despite its potential benefit to a large patient population. Here, we aimed to establish a feasible preclinical mouse model for understanding the cellular mechanisms behind the rejection of peripheral and optic nerves.

Methods: We performed syngenic and allogenic transplantation of optic and sciatic nerves in mice by inserting the nerve grafts inside the kidney capsule, and we assessed the allografts for signs of rejection through 14 d following transplantation.
