Immunohistochemical staining techniques were used to investigate the localization of the 3-methylcholanthrene inducible isoenzymes (P450 IA1 and IA2) in the rat liver. The rats were induced with different doses of 3-methylcholanthrene, ranging from 2.5 to 25 mg/kg body weight. A heterogeneous induction pattern was observed with induction doses of 2.5; 5; 7.5 and 10 mg/kg body weight with the highest concentration of the isoenzymes around the central vein. With a dose of 25 mg/kg body weight, a homogeneous pattern was found. Induction with a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight resulted in an intermediate situation.

Background: Datura metel is reported to induce hallucinations and mental disorders.
Objective: This study investigates the neurotoxic effects of stramonium hydroethanolic root extract on the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of adult rats using biochemical, histological and immunohistochemical techniques.
Methodology: Twenty five adult rats were assigned to 5 groups (n = 5 each).

Respiratory infection by influenza A virus (IAV) is known to cause systemic inflammation, neuroinflammation, and cognitive impairment. We previously found that experimental infection with IAV affected oligodendrocyte homeostasis, which was associated with altered expression of genes involved in myelin maintenance as well as the lipidome. In this study, we sought to determine if clemastine, an antihistamine with myelin promoting properties, could reverse the effects of IAV on oligodendrocyte (OL) specific genes, as well as mitigate infection-induced cognitive impairment.

Ricefield eel is an important economic fish in China. However, large-scale intensive breeding has increased the incidence of diseases in eels. In this study, we conducted an 8-week feeding trial to investigate the effects of -glucan on the growth performance, intestinal health, and resistance of ().

The critical effects of bromide in experimental animals are on the thyroid and central nervous system. Changes in thyroid hormone homeostasis could result in neurodevelopmental toxicity, among other adverse effects.

Although 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP; Bovaer10) has been proven to reduce enteric methane (CH) by ∼30% in indoor systems of dairying when the additive is mixed throughout TMR and partial mixed ration (PMR) diets, there has been limited research to date on the CH abatement potential of 3-NOP when mixed within a diet based on perennial ryegrass silage only and fed to pregnant nonlactating dairy cows. To investigate the effect of 3-NOP supplementation on enteric CH emissions of pregnant nonlactating dairy cows, a 6-wk study was undertaken in which treatment cows were supplemented with 3-NOP mixed within grass silage, whereas control cows were offered grass silage without additive supplementation. Enteric CH, hydrogen (H), and carbon dioxide (CO) were measured using a GreenFeed machine.
