Effects Of Bac On The Innervation Of Stomach, Berri̇n Gençer Tarakçi Jan 2000

Effects Of Bac On The Innervation Of Stomach, Berri̇n Gençer Tarakçi

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Serosal application of BAC (benzalkonium chloride) to the pyloric antrum of the rat led to a complete loss of the intrinsic innervation of the treated region and also extensive loss of extrinsic sensory projections in the treated and untreated regions of the stomach. However, no changes were seen in the numbers of primary afferents projecting to the stomach, or expression of neuropeptides or neuronal proteins in the neurons. This finding is in marked contrast to the changes reported in sensory cell bodies after sectioning of the sciatic nerve, and suggested that visceral and somatic afferents may respond differently to axonal …

Sensory Evaluation And Determination Of Some Physical And Chemical Characteristics Of Shrimp During Gold Storage, Candan Varlik, Taçnur Baygar, Özkan Özden, Nuray Erkan, Sühendan Mol

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to determine the quality changes in shrimp stored at 4°C. In the study, whole shrimp samples were placed into straphore plates and stored in a refrigerator (+4°C). Each plate contained 250g samples. Every day the samples were analyzed for sensory properties, Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB-N) content, Trimethylamine Nitrogene (TMA-N) content, pH value and moisture content. According to findings of sensory, physical and chemical analyses the samples were found to be of "good quality" at day 0, "good quality," at day 1 and "spoiled" after 2 days.

Kinetics And Inhibition By Some Amino Acids Of Arginase In Cattle Rumen Tissue, Mi̇ne Eri̇şi̇r, Sema Temi̇zer Ozan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The effects of some amino acids on arginase activity in cattle rumen tissue were studied. L-amino acids, such as valine, leucine, isoleucine, ornithine, cysteine, proline, lysine inhibited the enzyme activity noncompetitively. On the other hand, histidine and hydroxyproline were not determined to have any inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity. Isoleucine, valine, leucine, cysteine, ornithine were more strongly inhibitory than proline and lysine.

Evaluation Of Immunogenicity Of Pasterurella Haemolytica Serotypes In Experimental Models, K. Serdar Di̇ker, Mehmet Akan, Osman Kaya

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The immunogenicity of Pasteurella haemolyticaserotypes was investigated in an experimental animal model. Rabbits were immunized with bacterins and leukotoxins of selected serotypes of P. haemolytica,and the IgG level and antileukotoxin activities of immune sera were measured. The highest IgG levels against A1, A2, A7 and T4 antigens were detected in rabbits receiving polyvalent combined (bacterin plus leukotoxin) immunogens. Monovalent combined immunogens induced high antibody titers against homologous serotypes, but low titers against heterologous serotypes. Serotype A1 and A7 were found to be more antigenic than A2 and T4. The highest antileukotoxin activity in monovalent groups was detected in A1 and …
