باقی مانده سموم شیمیایی در محصولات کشاورزی از نگرانی‌ های همیشگی کارشناسان سلامت غذا بوده است. در این پژوهش 15 بوته ی خیار با غلظتی معادل دوز توصیه شده (استامی پراید 25 گرم در لیتر و دیکلرووس 2 میلی لیتر در لیتر) و دو برابر دوز توصیه شده سمپاشی شدند. پس از 24 ساعت میزان باقی مانده در دو برابر دوز توصیه شده برای استامی پراید 5/1 میلی گرم بر کیلوگرم خیار و برای دیکلرووس 5/0 میلی گرم بر کیلوگرم خیار بدست آمد. سپس برای بررسی تأثیر بیوشیمیایی این بقایا، 60 سر موش انتخاب که 20 سر آنها در 4 گروه تقسیم شدند. گروه کنترل و گروه های 1، 2 و 3 به ترتیب دوز 5/0 میلی گرم بر کیلوگرم سم دیکلرووس، 5/1 میلی گرم بر کیلوگرم از سم استامی پراید و گروه سوم ترکیبی از دو سم را در آب آشامیدنی دریافت نمودند. نتایج نشان داد، این سموم موجب کاهش آلبومین خون (کنترل 96/2، استامی پراید 2، دیکلروس 86/1 و ترکیبی 6/1 گرم در دسی لیتر)، نسبت آلبومین به گلبولین (کنترل 96/0، استامی پراید 68/0، دیکلروس 06/0 و ترکیبی 55/0 گرم در دسی لیتر) و پروتئین کل (کنترل 06/6، استامی پراید 92/4، دیکلروس 98/4 و ترکیبی 48/4 گرم در دسی لیتر) و همچنین نسبت به کنترل موجب کاهش وزن (کنترل 8/8، دیکلرووس 0/0، استامی پراید 8/0- و ترکیبی 8/0- گرم) و مقدار مصرف غذا (کنترل 2/666، دیکلرووس 4/372، استامی پراید 0/392 و ترکیبی 2/356 گرم) گردید و تغییراتی در باروری و هورمون تحریک کننده فولیکولی، هورمون لوتئینیزه کننده و هورمون تستوسترون ایجاد گردید. با بررسی این نتایج می توان افزودن این سموم به آب آشامیدنی موش ها را موجب پدید آمدن اختلالات کبدی، کلیوی و همچنین کاهش ایمنی و نقص اولیه ی بیضه ‌ها دانست. پیشنهاد می‌گردد، برنامه‌ های پایش جهت ارزیابی وجود باقی ‌مانده سموم در مواد غذایی به طور مستمر انجام گیرد. تفاصيل المقالة

Introduction & Aim: The aim the present study is to examine the effects of Boswellia serrata Triana & Planch on (immune response) performance and carcass characteristic in broiler chicks.Experimental: In this study, 360 one day old chicks (Ross 308) were allocated to six treatments with four replicates in a completely randomized design for a six week period. Treatments consisted of the basal diet supplemented with 0.0 (control), 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5% B. serrata. Results & Discussion: The findings showed that feed intake of broilers fed control diet was significantly (p<0.05) higher than broilers fed 0.50% B. serrata in the grower period, also weight gain of broilers fed control diet was significantly (p<0.05) higher than broilers fed 0.30 and 0.50% B. serrata in the starter and grower period, but feed conversion ratio of broilers fed 0.50 % B. serrata was significantly higher than broilers fed control diet in the grower period. Application diet containing 0.15% of B. serrata led to the best feed conversion ratio in the total period, while the differences were not statistically significant. Percentage of gizzard to body weight, intestinal and seca length of broiler fed diet containing 0.5% of B. serrata was significantly (p<0.05) higher than broiler fed control diet.Industrial and practical recommendations: Although it has some positive effects on immune system of all creatures, according to the findings of this study, using Boswellia serrata especially in first period of broiler chicks, is not recommended and it needs more research. تفاصيل المقالة

Background: Black seed (Nigella sativa L.) in traditional medicine is well known that the chemical composition of the immune system with many applications in traditional medicine to fight the infection. This study investigated the effect of the plant's role in the immune system and blood protein.Experimental: In this study male mice of Balb/c strain were divided into four groups tested. Control and experimental groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively, 50, 100 and 200 dose mg/Kg of the extract of Nigella sativa seed hydro alcoholic extract in 20 days and injected intraperitoneally received. At the end of the experiment, blood was taken for white cell count and blood protein electrophoresis was used. The data obtained with the SPSS software.Results and discussion: Studies suggest that the extracts of Nigella sativa in the groups are able to increase white blood cell count, protein and albumin, alpha 1 and 2 and the A/G.Industrial/Practical recommendation: According to the survey results appear in the pharmaceutical industry play an effective role in strengthening the immune system of Nigella sativa and, play in this context can be used as a medicinal plant use. تفاصيل المقالة

Background & Aim: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- graceum L.) is a medicinal and edible plant in the family Fabaceae. The aim of this study was the effect of hydro-alcohol extract of fenugreek seed on reproductive system of female Balb/c mice. Experimental: The animals divided to five groups of ten members: control group, placebo and three experimental groups. At first all animals synchronized. The control group received no drugs, while placebo group received physiologic serum. The three experimental groups received i.p injection of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/2days extract for 20 days. After 10 injections, blood samples were taken from all groups, hormonal measurement, including FSH, LH, progesterone and estradiol were performed by RIA technique. The results are analyzed to use of analysis of unilaterally variance and Duncan’s test by SPSS version11.5 program. Then these groups compared with control group. Ovaries were sectioned and observed by light microscope. Results & Discussion: The data presented in this study showed significant decrease in the level of LH and FSH, also significant increase the level of estradiol in the whole experimental groups, while the level of progesterone only increased in the experimental groups. The results of histological studies of sections showed significant decrease in the folliculogenesis in the three experimental groups. Also significant increase the number of corpus luteum in experimental groups. The degeneration of ovary was observed in experimental group (200 mg/kg/2days extract). Industrial and Practical Recommendations: According to the results of folliculogenesis the ovary tissue in high dosage that indicates anti-fertility effect in female mice. تفاصيل المقالة
