This work was planned to research the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and/or vitamin E (VE) and sodium selenite (SS), which have antioxidant properties, administered to the liver tissue of male rats. For this purpose, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, antioxidant capacity, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end labeling assay, liver function, and DNA structure tests were performed. The lipid profile was also evaluated in this study. Rats that were administered LPS were treated with VE and/or SS. The liver function tests and lipid profile parameters showed statistically significant changes and histological alterations in the LPS treated groups. The number of cells entering apoptosis …

Turkish Journal of Zoology
Peripheral blood and haematopoiesis in bone marrow and liver tissue were investigated in Bufo bufo during the sexual cycle. A combined touch and imprinting tissue method were applied for the haematopoietic cell isolation. The liver is the primary site of erythropoiesis and partial lymphopoiesis. There was a positive correlation between body mass and liver mass, but it was not significant (P > 0.05). The primary role of yellow bone marrow is the maturation of haematopoietic cells, while red bone marrow is responsible for the production of blood cells. The largest surface, and therefore the largest dimensions, was established for erythrocytes. Significant …
Factors Affecting Trace Element Accumulation In Livers Of Avian Species From East Poland, Ignacy Kitowski, Dariusz Wiacek, Agnieszka Sujak, Andrzej Komosa, Michal Swietlicki
Factors Affecting Trace Element Accumulation In Livers Of Avian Species From East Poland, Ignacy Kitowski, Dariusz Wiacek, Agnieszka Sujak, Andrzej Komosa, Michal Swietlicki
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of 12 elements in the livers of 14 different species of birds from East Poland, as well as factors affecting their accumulation. The greatest amount of Cd was found in the livers of woodcocks. Analyses showed that Cd accumulation in the liver was associated with the consumption of soil invertebrates. Our data show that some corvids were the most vulnerable to the effects of lead bullets. In the livers of some of them, lead levels exceeded 6 mg/kg. Expansion of food niches in the direction of omnivorous species limited the …
Determination Of Fatty Acid Profiles Of Total, Neutral, And Polar Lipids In Different Tissues Of Vimba Vimba (L., 1758) From Eğirdir Lake (Isparta, Turkey), Sali̇h Görgün, Nükhet Akpinar, Gökhan Zengi̇n, Mehmet Ali̇ Akpinar, Ali̇ Günlü, Gökalp Özmen Güler, Apdurahman Aktümsek

Turkish Journal of Zoology
Fatty acid profiles of total, neutral, and polar lipids in the liver, muscle, and intestine of female individuals of Vimba vimba (L., 1758) were determined by gas chromatography. C16:0, C16:1 n-7, C18:1 n-7, and C18:1 n-9 were the most abundant fatty acids in total and neutral lipids in all tissues investigated. In addition to these acids, C20:4 n-6 (arachidonic acid) and C22:6 n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid) were the other fatty acids having high percentages in the polar lipid fraction of the tissues. The highest and lowest n-3 to n-6 ratios, which are a good indicator of the quality of fish oils, …
Histopathological Effects Of Montivipera Xanthina Venom On Rats, Hüseyi̇n Topyildiz, Si̇bel Hayretdağ
Histopathological Effects Of Montivipera Xanthina Venom On Rats, Hüseyi̇n Topyildiz, Si̇bel Hayretdağ
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, the histopathological changes caused by Montivipera xanthina venom to rat skin, skeletal muscle, and liver tissue were analysed by light microscope. The venom (approximately 2.85 mg/kg) was injected intramuscularly into the gastrocnemius muscle of the rats. The animals were dissected 1, 3, and 6 h after the injection time, and tissue samples were taken. Sections 5 µm thick were taken from paraffin blocks of tissue samples, and the sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin in order to facilitate examination by light microscope. Examinations showed no damage to the epidermis layer of skin. However, damage to the …
Effect Of Season On The Fatty Acid Composition Of The Liver And Muscle Of Alburnus Chalcoides (Güldenstädt, 1772) From Tödürge Lake (Sivas, Turkey), Sali̇h Görgün, Mehmet Ali̇ Akpinar
Effect Of Season On The Fatty Acid Composition Of The Liver And Muscle Of Alburnus Chalcoides (Güldenstädt, 1772) From Tödürge Lake (Sivas, Turkey), Sali̇h Görgün, Mehmet Ali̇ Akpinar
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Seasonal variations in the liver and muscle fatty acid composition of Alburnus chalcoides (Güldenstadt, 1772) from Tödürge Lake (Sivas, Turkey) were determined. The most abundant fatty acids in the investigated seasons and tissues were C16:0, C18:0, C18:1 n-9, C18:1 n-7, C20:4 n-6, C20:5 n-3, and C22:6 n-3. The total saturated fatty acids (SFAs) of the liver and muscle were at the highest in the spring (38.59%) and summer (41.65%), respectively. The total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) were at the highest in the autumn (51.79%) for liver and in the winter (40.04%) for muscle. The total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were …
Changes In The Protein And Lipid Content Of Muscle, Liver And Ovaries In Relation To Diphyllobothrium Spp. (Cestoda) Infection In Powan (Coregonus Lavaretus) From Loch Lomond, Scotland, Mustafa Dörücü
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The present study was carried out to examine the relationship between helminth infections, nutrient reserves and gonadal status in powan in relation to infection with Diphyllobothrium spp. The relationship between fish size and body composition was also investigated. The condition factor increased with increasing length for uninfected fish and decreased for infected fish. This demonstrates the negative effect of infection on the growth of the fish. The mean percentage of protein and lipid content of muscle, liver and gonads were 89 %, 71.7 % and 64.9 % and 5.03 %, 23.3 % and 14.5 % respectively. A statistically significant correlation …

The Effects Of Malathion Alkaline Phosphatase Activity In The Liver, Kidney And Small Intestine In Mice, Egemen Dere, Sevtap Bakir, Ati̇lla Atalay
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The effects of malathion on alkaline phosphatase activity in the liver, kidney and small intestine was investigated. Malathion doses of 40 mg kg^{-1} were injected intreperitonally (I:P) into mice. At 0, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after treatment with malathion, mice were decapitated and tissues were removed. Homogenate of the tissues was centrifugated at 48000xg for 30 minutes. The supernatant was used as an enzyme source. It was found that the malathion increased alkaline phosphatase activity in the kidney and decreased alkaline phosphatase activity in the liver and small intestine.
