The number of isolated GBM was as follows: control group n = 20, AgNPs group n = 20, and placebo group n = 15.
MPN treatments commenced from day 47 as follows: Control (C), fed to lose live weight (–67 g/day); Maintenance (M), does fed to maintain live weight; Supplemented (S), does fed to gain live weight at 102 g/day.
For MTT assay, control samples were designed as follows: control group (cell culture with DMEM medium); positive control (1.0% Triton X-100, Sigma-Aldrich, USA); and negative control (chips of sterile polypropylene Eppendorf, 1 mg mL−1, Eppendorf, Germany).
The waste composition of different treatments is given as follows: control (water hyacinth 90 kg + cattle manure 45 kg + sawdust 15 kg), zeolite 1 (control + 5%% zeolite), zeolite 2 (control + 10%% zeolite) and zeolite 3 (control + 15%% zeolite).
A threshold policy can be defined in broad terms as follows: control (grazing, harvesting, pesticide application, treatment etc). is suppressed when a specific species abundance is below a previously chosen threshold density; above the threshold, control is applied.
Three sub-lethal concentrations of the cypermethrin formulation used for these experiments were as follows: control (0.0 µg/L), a low dose (1.25 µg/L) and a high dose (2.25 µg/L) of cypermethrin (10% EC).
Different manipulated variables were used to control reaction temperature in stirred reactors operated in unstable states (saddle points), as follows control of the feed rate, outlet flow rate of the reaction mixture, inlet concentration of the catalyst, flow rate of the coolant.
In the present experimental study, 48 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups, (eight per group) as follows: control (receiving corn oil as the DZN solvent), DZN (20 mg/kg), Thy (10 mg/kg), Thy (2.5 mg/kg) + DZN, Thy (5 mg/kg) + DZN and Thy (10 mg/kg) + DZN.
This study was designed to investigate whether Otostegia persica extraction pretreatment has a protective effect against renal injury induced by hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion. Methods: Forty male Wistar rats were allocated into five groups as follows: Control, Sham, Otostegia persica, ischemia-reperfusion and ischemia-reperfusion + Otostegia persica groups.
Adult male Wistar rats were divided into the experimental groups as follows: control group receiving PTZ; apelin-treated group which received apelin-13 before PTZ; apelin + F13A-treated group which received apelin-13 plus the apelin receptor antagonist (F13A) before PTZ; apelin + naloxone group which received apelin-13 + naloxone before PTZ.
The total mixed ration consisted of 591.9 g/kg of corn silage and 408.1 g/kg of concentrate [dry matter (DM) basis], and treatments differed with regard to the inclusion or exclusion of PBP as follows: control (CON; excipient without phenolic compounds from the propolis extract), PBP1 PBP3 (3.27, 3.27 and 1.93 mg of phenolic compounds/kg of ingested DM, respectively).
