The In Vitro Cytotoxic, Genotoxic, And Oxidative Damage Potentials Of The Oral Artificialsweetener Aspartame On Cultured Human Blood Cells, Kenan Çadirci, Özlem Özdemi̇r Tozlu, Hasan Türkez, Adi̇l Mardi̇noğlu

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aim: Aspartame (APM, L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methylester) is a low-calorie, nonsaccharide artificial sweetener widely used in foods and beverages. When metabolized by the body, APM is broken down into aspartic acid, phenylalanine amino acids, and a third substance, methanol. Since the amino acid phenylalanine serves as a neurotransmitter building block affecting the brain, and methanol is converted into toxic formaldehyde, APM has deleterious effects on the body and brain. Thus, its safety and, toxicity have been the subjects of concern ever since it was first discovered. Although many studies have been performed on it, due to the presence of conflicting data in …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Black sesame seed is a potential herbal medicine for osteoarthritis treatment as it contains sesamin, which has antiinflammatory properties and has demonstrated chondroprotective effects in many species. Horses are particularly susceptible to osteoarthritis. Inflammatory mediators and matrix metalloproteinase are important factors causing cartilage degradation. This study aimed to investigate the protective potential of sesamin (0.5-2.0 μM) against interleukin (IL)-1ß-induced equine cartilage explant degradation. The cartilage degradation was monitored by measuring the release of cartilage matrix molecules in culture media including sulfatedglycosaminoglycans and hyaluronan by calorimetric assay and ELISA assay, respectively. The remaining contents of collagen and uronic acid (UA) within …

Bioaccumulation Monitoring Of Chemical Contaminants In Mussels Mytilus Galloprovincialis From The Southern Coast Of The Marmara Sea, Turkey, Serhat Çolakoğlu, İbrahi̇m Ender Küni̇li̇, Fatma Çolakoğlu

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Mytilus galloprovincialis , the Mediterranean mussel, is an important shellfish species that constitutes the majority of production and consumption among bivalve mollusks in Turkey. Since shellfish can accumulate toxic chemicals from seawater, it is important to monitor bioaccumulation from their natural beds. For this reason, in this study, the aim was to monitor the levels of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and toxic metals (Pb, Cd, and Hg) in M. galloprovincialis collected from the southern coast of the Marmara Sea from 2014 to 2017. According to the results, the maximum levels of dioxins, PAHs, and …

Nutrient Digestibility, Performance, And Egg Quality Traits Of Quails Raised In Different Stocking Densities And Ascorbic Acid Supplementation In A Hot, Tropical Environment, Adi Ratriyanto, Firmanda Firmanda, Heni Purwanti, Murjoko Murjoko

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study investigated the effects of stocking density (SD) and ascorbic acid (AA) supplementation on nutrient digestibility and laying performance of quails in a tropical environment. Four hundred and eight Japanese quails were designated in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement with four replicates. The birds were distributed to three SDs, namely 40 (SD-1), 45 (SD-2), and 50 birds per m2 (SD-3) by allotting 15, 17, and 19 birds per cage, respectively (cage size: 3750 cm2). Each SD was supplemented with AA (0 and 250 mg/kg). Interaction was identified between SD and AA on egg production (P < 0.01), while the highest value was yielded in SD-2 supplemented with AA (83.6%). SD-3 achieved lower ether extract (EE) and crude fiber (CF) digestibility (P < 0.05) and eggshell thickness (P = 0.01) than SD-1 or SD-2. AA supplementation enhanced dry matter (DM), EE, CF, crude ash (CA), and calcium (Ca) digestibility (P < 0.05). AA improved egg weight, feed conversion, and protein and energy efficiency ratios as well as eggshell weight and thickness (P < 0.05). The SD of 45 birds per m2, combined with AA supplementation at 250 mg/kg, can be recommended for quails housed in hightemperature environments.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is one of the economically most important bacterial diseases of large ruminants. In the present investigation, a total of 156 buffaloes (Murrah, Jafarabadi, and Bhadawari breeds) at a semiorganized farm after administration of HS alum precipitated killed vaccine were screened serologically for the presence of anti-HS antibodies by single dilution indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). Out of 156 buffaloes tested for presence of anti-HS antibodies, a greater proportion of buffalo (67.94%) had protective level of anti-HS antibodies even after 90th day post vaccination.

The red cherry shrimp (RCS) Neocaridina davidi is a tiny shrimp that has a bright red color; therefore, it has become a popular ornamental species. The aims of this study are to determine the fecundity, egg size, and maturation time of the RCS at different sizes and also to determine its ovarian maturity criteria. A total of 18 adult female shrimps in 3 different size groups based on carapace length were used. They were grouped as small (S: 1.5-1.7 cm), medium (M: 1.8-2.0 cm), and large (L: 2.1-2.3 cm); a total of 36 adult male shrimps (1.5 ± 0.2 cm) …
