Wheat germ and vitamin E decrease BAX/BCL-2 ratio in rat kidney treated with gentamicin
In conclusion, the efficacy of wheat germ as anti-apoptotic and antioxidant was higher than that of vitamin E and it effectively protected against the direct and indirect toxic effects of gentamicin on kidney through regulation of BAX-BCL-2 gene expressions and further inhibition of mitochondrial cytochrome c translocation into cytosol.

Seasonal and spatial variation of aquatic macrophytes and phytoplankton community at El-Quanater El-Khayria River Nile, Egypt
In this study, the phytoplankton biomass and species composition in El-Quanater El-Khayria (River Nile, Egypt) was analyzed at four sampling sites on a program of a seasonally sampling and supported by measurements of different water variables as well as biomass production of most common aquatic macrophytes. The major species of aquatic macrophytes were two submerged species (Ceratophyllum demersum and Ceratophyllum submersum), two emergent (Polygonum tomentosum and spontaneum), and one free floating aquatic macrophyte (Eichhornia crassipes). Considerable seasonal variations in water quality as well as macrophytes biomass ...

This study was conducted on the pancreas of ten healthy mature birds of goose. The pancreas was excised from the duodenum rapidly after slaughter of the birds. The specimens were fixed in 10% buffered neutral formalin then processed for light and electron microscopic study. The macroscopic observations revealed that goose pancreas was located in the right side of the abdomen between the ascending and descending loops of duodenum. It was formed from dorsal, splenic, ventral and third lobes. The histological observations revealed that the pancreas was formed of lobules of serous acini. The secretory acinus unit was appearing...
