L-Theanine Modulates Stress Physiology And Immunology In Nile Tilapia, Sammie Miller, Lindee Mason, Shah Sumaiya Khaled, Elena Deng, Ahmed Mustafa

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

Background: Fish are a prominent food source within the growing aquaculture industry, particularly within recirculating aquaculture systems, to alleviate global hunger demands. Diminishing detrimental stress conditions such as overcrowding prevalence and chemical toxins remain a primary goal. Nutraceuticals, particularly L-theanine, pose a natural alternative solution to alleviate these conditions. The amino acid L-theanine was scrutinized as a potential nutraceutical additive within commercial feed within the diet of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, subjected to stress and unstressed in-vivo conditions.

Methods: To accomplish this, both 0.004% of body weight of L-theanine and 0.01% of body weight of hydrocortisone were implemented into feed …

Pharmacological Safety Profiling Of Nigella Sativa (Ns) And Hibiscus Sabdariffa (Hs) Extracts In Zebrafish (Danio Rerio) Embryos: An Integrative Vet-Pharmacotoxicological Evaluation Of Lc₅₀, Teratogenicity, And Developmental Outcomes, Ahmed E. A. Mostafa

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

Herbal medicines are deeply rooted in Egyptian and Middle Eastern traditions, with Nigella sativa (NS) and Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) being among the most widely consumed remedies. Despite extensive pharmacological evidence of their therapeutic benefits, systematic safety validation remains limited. Conventional toxicity assessments predominantly rely on rodents and higher vertebrates, which are costly, time-consuming, and ethically challenging. This gap necessitates alternative models that align with the 3R principles (Reduction, Replacement, Refinement). In this study, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo model was employed to evaluate the developmental toxicity and median lethal concentration (LC50) of NS and HS aqueous extracts. Zebrafish embryos at …

Molecular Characterization Of Leptin Gene In Sheep (Ovis Aries), Shahenda M. Hegazy, Mohamed Fouda, Ahmed Ateya, Huda A. El Emam

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

INTRODUCTION: Advances in molecular genetic techniques have simplified the process of identifying individual differences at the DNA level. Genetic polymorphisms at candidate genes controlling economic features have recently drawn a lot of scholarly attention due to their potential as a tool for genetic selection and the identification of evolutionary linkages in livestock. OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to detect nucleotide sequence variants in Lep gene as genetic markers for growth and heat tolerance traits in Barki and Abudeleik sheep using PCR-DNA sequencing approach in search of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). METHODS: 30 female ewes, 15 of each breed (Barki and Aboudeleik) …

“Ai” Doesn’T Mean Engagement: Fostering Student Agency With Generative Ai, Jill Abney, Trey Conatser

Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings

Generative AI has prompted fervent speculation about its benefits for student engagement.
