Possible Protective Effects of Omega 3, Diazepam and their Combination Against Yohimbine-Induced Clonic Seizure in Mice: Comparative Study
...Show More Authors

     Yohimbine is actually confirmed in the United States to be utilized for erectile dysfunction; and recently such drug has become commonly used in body-building communities for its presumed lipolytic and sympathomimetic effects. But ingestion of such drug can bring about epileptic neurotoxic effects.

Many antiepileptic drugs can be utilized to counteract myoclonic seizure; furthermore, diazepam can be used to oppose such type of seizure; in addition, surrogate therapeutic options such as omega 3 may also be utilized.  

In this study, twenty-four (24) mice of both sexes weighing 20-25g were randomly-allocated into 4 groups (6 animals each group) as follows: Group I- Yohimbine-induced clonic seizure [mice orally-administered DMSO (10%), and after 30 min, animals Sc. injected with 45mg/kg yohimbine). Group II- Diazepam-treated as standard drug: It is Sc. injected at a dose of 2mg/kg, and after 30 minutes, yohimbine at a dose of 45mg/kg is Sc. injected. Group III- Omega 3 (40 mg/kg) is orally-administered, and after 30 min 45mg/kg yohimbine is Sc. injected. Group IV- Combination of omega 3 (40mg/kg) is orally-administered then and after ten minutes, diazepam was IP injected 2mg/kg then after 20 minute, 45mg/kg yohimbine is Sc. Injected.

The result of this study showed that omega 3 has non-optimal antiepileptic effect; where, it is un-able to reduce the onset and frequency of epilepsy tone in mice during several time periods (30-120min); and data weren’t  significantly different when compared to diazepam. But omega 3 reduced onset of epilepsy in combination with diazepam when compared with diazepam alone.  As well as omega 3 caused small percent changes frequency of epilepsy tone through 120 min when compared with other groups.

Conclusion: Omega 3 fatty acid had partial beneficial effect; where, alone it has a role for decreasing onset of epilepsy; but, its combination with diazepam had significant role for reducing onset of epilepsy against yohimbine-induced seizure model. Additionally, omega 3 alone and in combination with diazepam have negligible role for reduction frequency of epilepsy.

Dietary Replacement with Food Waste and Black Soldier Fly Larvae Supplementation Improved Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Intestinal Microbial Population in Broilers
...Show More Authors

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of conventional ingredients replacement with alternative ingredients on growth performance, carcass quality, nutrient digestibility and intestinal microbial of broilers. One hundred twenty Cobb500 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four diets. Corn, soybean meal and fish meal were replaced with rice waste, meat and bone waste and black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) at 0, 10, 30 and 50% to form four treatments. Body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and digestibility of crude protein and fat were improved in broilers fed the replacement diets. Feed intake was not affected by the treatments suggesting that the replacement diets were well accepted by the chicken. Escherichia coli was decre

Hall and Joule's heating Influences on Peristaltic Transport of Bingham plastic Fluid with Variable Viscosity in an Inclined Tapered Asymmetric Channel
...Show More Authors

   This paper presents an investigation of peristaltic flow of Bingham plastic fluid in an inclined tapered asymmetric channel with variable viscosity. Taken into consideration Hall current, velocity, thermal slip conditions, Energy equation is modeled by taking Joule heating effect into consideration and by holding assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation these equations simplified into couple of non-linear ordinary differential equations that solved using perturbation technique. Graphical analysis has been involved for various flow parameters emerging in the problem. We observed two opposite behaviors for Hall parameter and Hartman number on velocity axial and temperature curves.

Examining the Asymmetric Impacts of Interest and Exchange Rate on Investment in Egypt for the Period 1976-2020: Applying NARDL Model
...Show More Authors

Most of the studies conducted in the past decades focused on the effect of interest rates and exchange rates on domestic investment under the assumption that the independent variables have the same effect on the dependent variable, but there were limited studies that investigated the unequal effects of changes in interest rates and exchange rates, both positive and negative, on domestic investment.  This study used a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model to assess the unequal effects of the real interest rate and real exchange rate variables on domestic investment in Egypt for the period 1976 - 2020.  The results revealed that positive and negative shocks for both exchange rates have unequal effects on
