The symptoms of vitamin E deficiency in animals are numerous and vary from species to species (13). Although the deficiency of the vitamin can affect different tissue types such as reproductive, gastrointestinal, vascular, neural, hepatic, and optic in a variety of species such as pigs, rats, mice, dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, monkeys, and sheep, it is generally found that necrotizing myopathy is relatively common to most species. In humans, vitamin E deficiency can result from poor fat absorption in adults and children. Infants, especially those with low birth weights, typically have a vitamin E deficiency which can easily be corrected by supplements. This deficiency can lead to symptoms such as hemolytic anemia, reduction in red blood cell lifetimes, retinopathy, and neuromuscular disorders. 

Diaphoretic. Because it promotes perspiration by relaxing the pores, elder is a traditional remedy to help the body release toxins through the skin. It increases blood circulation and body heat near the surface of the skin. It has been used to treat blemishes, acne, herpes, psoriasis, measles and chicken pox. Parts used flowers, berries, leaves. 

Results from experiments using the protocol above27 have shown that anti-Salmonella immunomagnetic beads could be used to unambiguously determine the presence of Salmonella choleraesuis from suspensions of bacterial mixtures. This target organism was also positively identified from spiked samples of river water, human urine, chicken blood, and 1 % milk. For the river water and urine samples, no cross-reactivity was observed and only protein...

A 19-year-old female whose roommate is being treated for depression decides that she is also depressed and secretly takes her roommate s pills as directed on the bottle for several days. One night, she makes herself a snack of chicken liver pate and bleu cheese, accompanied by a glass of red wine. She soon develops headache, nausea, and palpitations. She goes to the ED, where her blood pressure is found to be 200/110 mmHg. What antidepressant did she take ...

Among warm-blooded organisms, hexavalent chromium was fatal to dogs in 3 months at 100 mg/kg in their food and killed most mammalian experimental animals at injected doses of 1 to 5 mg Cr/kg body weight, but it had no measurable effect on chickens at dietary levels of 100 mg/kg over a 32-day period. Trivalent chromium compounds were generally less toxic than hexavalent chromium compounds, but significant differences may occur in uptake of anionic and cationic CL3 species, and this difference may affect survival. 

Reduction in cholinesterase activity levels of various tissues (blood, brain) is one of the earliest signs of chlorpyrifos intoxication. Cholinesterase reductions have been demonstrated in turkeys fed diets containing 50 mg chlorpyrifos/kg (estimated daily dose of 0.7 mg/kg BW) for 20 days (Schlinke et al. 1969) in chickens fed diets of 25 mg/kg (estimated daily dose of 0.94 mg/kg BW) for 20 days (Schlinke 1970) in quail (Coturnix coturnix) given a single (sublethal) esophageal...

Egg shells are made of calcium carbonate, CaCCE. The chicken ingeniously makes shells for its eggs by a process involving carbon dioxide dissolved in its blood, yielding carbonate ions which combine chemically with calcium ions. An equilibrium is soon established between these ions and solid chalk, according to... 

Unfortunately, chickens have no sweat glands, so they cannot perspire. To dissipate any excess body heat during the warm summer months, they must pant just like a dog. Panting increases the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled, itself decreasing the concentration of CO2 in a chicken s blood. The smaller concentration [CO2 ] during the warm summer causes the reaction in Equation (4.60) to shift further toward the left-hand side than in the cooler winter, i.e. the amount of chalk formed decreases. The end result is a thinner eggshell. 

Immunosuppressive effects have been obtained in vitro with mercuric chloride. A marked inhibition of the mixed lymphocyte reaction in mice as well as PFC (plaque forming cell) response to SRBC (sheep red blood cells) by mercuric chloride [166] has been reported. Chronic exposure to mercury of rabbits gave immunosuppression, measured as low antibody titres to viral agents [167], A suppression of antibody production in chickens exposed to mercuric chloride has also been reported [168]. Furthermore, an inhibition of mitogenic response to PHA in lymphocytes by mercuric chloride has been obtained [169],...
