This experiment was conducted at the poultry field, Agricultural Research and Experiments Station, College of Agriculture and the Marshes, Thi Qar University, from 11/1/2021 to 12/12/2021, to determine the effect of diluting the feed with date kernels treated in different ways on some productive traits of broilers. A total of 270, one day, 40 gm chicks of Rose-308 were used. Chicks were randomly distributed to the five experimental treatments with three replicates (18 birds for each replicate), the diets were provided from the beginning of the second week until the end of the sixth week. The treatments were as follows: T1: Standard control diet (without dilution); T2: control diet diluted by 20% regular date seed pods for 7-42 days; T3: basal diet diluted with 20% date kernels, cooked for 7-42 days; T4: basal diet diluted with 20% vinegar-treated seed for 7-42 days; T5: basal diet diluted by 20% seed germinated for 7-42 days. The results indicated a significant increase on the cellular blood characteristics (Red Blood Cell Count, White Blood Cell Count, Hemoglobin concentration and the Packed Cell volume) in all dilution treatments with date kernel powder, whether treated or untreated. A significant increase on the concentration of albumin, globulin and total protein with a significant decrease in the concentration of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides in the dilution treatments with date kernel powder compared to the control treatment.

The current study included the cytotoxicity test of the active compounds isolated from the peels of the fruits of the eggplant plant, which is found in the local markets of Dhi Qar governorate and used for food and grown within the governorate and not imported during the period (July, August, September, October, November, December. January), the trend of human red blood cells for the purpose of determining the possibility of using them as drug alternatives in the future. The peels of the eggplant plant were extracted with hexane once, then the alkaloid extract was prepared from it again. The alkaloid compounds were detected using the Drankcroff reagent and Mayer's reagent. The positive result of the detection gave an indication of the presence of alkaloid substances that are antioxidants and have a high nutritional value. The concentrations of plant extracts represented by hexane eggplant extract and its alkaloid extract at concentrations (75,50,25,10,5,100) mg/ml were prepared using DMSO solution as a solvent, and a negative control factor containing physiological salt and blood, and a positive control factor (tap water) were prepared. ), and a third control factor consisted of blood solution with DMSO solvent, and the solution was monitored for (3-24) hours to observe the dissolution of blood cells. The cytotoxicity results of plant extracts of Solanum melongena L. showed that the concentrations (75,50,25,10,5,100) mg/ml did not cause any hemolytic and therefore do not cause any cytotoxicity towards red blood cells, and the bottom layer appeared in red color Which represents human blood, and the upper layer represents the extract as well as the physiological solution. If these compounds were toxic, the decomposition of red blood cells would result. Room temperature is 30°C and inside the incubator is 27°C.

The study was conducted in the field of animal production of the Agricultural Research Station / College of Agriculture and the Marshes / Dhi Qar University for the period from 10/11/2021 to 25/ 2/ 2022. Laboratory tests of the samples were carried out in the Molecular Genetics Laboratory of the College of Dentistry / Dhi Qar University, for the purpose of knowing the gene expression of the SLC2A2 gene encoding the glucose transporter GLUT2 and the abundance of its mRNA transcripts in different regions of the small intestine of broilers when fed at different levels of energy and to study the relationship of that abundance to some productive traits. In this study, 135 non-naturalized of meat broiler (breed 308 Ross) were used. The broiler were randomly distributed to three experimental treatments, with three replicates for each group (15 chicks/repeat), used the adlibitum free feeding system for the duration of the experiment, which lasted (35) days. The study included three levels of energy, where the first treatment was a control diet, which represented 3065 and 3133 kilocalories/kg for the primer and final diet, respectively, as for the second treatment, it contained a high level of energy 3200 kilocalories/kg and 3297 kilocalories/kg for the primer and final diets, respectively, the third treatment contained a low level of energy 2769 kilocalories/kg and 2802 kilocalories/kg for primer and growth diets, respectively. The results of the study showed the following:- The possibility of amplifying the studied gene and knowing its abundance and according to the primers used. The highest level of mRNA transcription of the GLUT2 gene in the small intestine of males was in the jejunum region (9.41) at a representative energy level of 3297 kilocalories/kg, as for the duodenum, the expression of GLUT2 gene was lower than in the jejunum (0.535), the GLUT2 gene expression in males was slightly more than in females in the ileum region (0.578) at a representative energy level of 3297 kcal/kg. Gene expression was positively and significantly associated with live weight, weight gain and feed consumption rates, but it was inversely related to the efficiency of food conversion in the jejunum and duodenal regions. The abundance of the glucose transporter GLUT2 gene increased with the increase in the energy level in the diet. Males gave a higher percentage of mRNA copies in all target organs compared to females. The activity of the gene responsible for the transfer of glucose can be modified through feeding and increasing energy levels and thus its reflection on the performance of birds. As for the productive traits, the differences were significant in the average live body weight and weight gain, as well as feed consumption compared with the control treatment, while the feed conversion efficiency did not show any significant differences.

Its source from (Turkey, Syria, Iraq), Gazi(2004). It pours into the Arabian Gulf, passing through several districts and sub-districts belonging to the Dhi Qar Governorate, and the Euphrates River is surrounded by vast agricultural lands planted with field crops and palms. Three stations were selected for the study. The first station is located 167 km north of the Fadhliah district in the water supply site for the region, the second station is located eight kilometers from the first station after crossing the river to the Fadhliah district. The third station is located 13 kilometers from the second station. The abiotic environmental characteristics such as air and water temperature, light transmittance, salinity, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, alkalinity, total hardness, and biological oxygen requirement were measured regularly for a period of six months. The water temperature ranged (from 20-12.5) in the first and third stations, respectively. The light transmittance ranged between (23-32) cm. The lowest values of salinity (1.5 parts per thousand) were recorded during November in the first station. The highest was (5.72) parts per thousand in the third station in January. The values of dissolved oxygen showed a decrease in the hot months (September and October), and the lowest values were (7.4) mg/liter during November in the second station. The pH ranged between (7.9-8.5), and the highest concentrations of the hardness of water were recorded in January (450 mg/L).

Cardiotoxicity is defined as drug-induced damage to the heart muscle, which can result in cardiac failure or cardiac arrest. Cardiotoxicity is a common side effect of traditional anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin, taxanes, 5-fluorouracil, and cyclophosphamide, as well as newer agents such as biological antibodies such as Nivo. Cardiotoxicity is also caused by the long-term use of neurologic/psychiatric medications. This study was designed to determine the effect of eruca sativa mill (Gergeer) leaves extract on cardiotoxicity induced by doxorubicin in rabbits. The fifty-four rabbits used in this study were obtained from a local rabbit breeder. Animals ranged between 1-1.3 years old, and their weight was approximately 1-2kg without specifying gender experiment Acute toxicity study, The pilot study to determine the LD50 dose of Eruca sativa mill (gergeer) by "up and down" method after acute exposure in rabbits, The effective dose of Eruca sativa mill (gergeer) was determined by using a simple line equation. The effective dose of Eruca sativa. troponin I determine the level of proteins in the blood increase in heart attack,.The Troponin-I level of the control positive group revealed a significant increase as compared with G3, G4, G5, and the control negative group.The cTn-I level of the G3 significant increase is compared with treated G4,G5 group and control negative group with a significant decrease is compared with G1, G2 group and control positive group ; while treated G4 ,G5 group significant decrease is compared with treated G1,G2,G3 group and control positive, Log number dose-response curve and maximum effective dose the simple line equation revealed that the effective Eruca sativa dose of Troponin I level was (3.01 , 2.99 ,1.97 ,1.015, 1.030) (ng/ml) respectively, whereas the effective Eruca sativa dose of Troponin I was 316 mg/kg. conclusion , The effective dose-response results asymptotic to 10 % of LD50, induced cardiac toxicity with DOX appear biochemically, cardiographycally and histopathologically, The Eruca sativa mill (gergeer) extract was effective protective for induced cardiac toxicity.

Cardiotoxicity is a common side effect of traditional anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin, taxanes, 5-fluorouracil, and cyclophosphamide, as well as newer agents such as biological antibodies such as Nivo. Cardiotoxicity is also caused by the long-term use of neurologic/psychiatric medications.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the kidney abnormality changes, and nephrotoxicity after using the cisplatine and investigate the protective effect of capparis spinosa fruit extract against these effects and evaluate the kidney function test urea, cratenine, total protein tests and histopathological changes of kidney . Twenty one (21) male rats were randomly divided into three groups (7 rats/ each). First group was received distilled water orally for 10 days and served as control group. Second group was received cisplatin only (10 mg/kg, i.p.) as a single dose at day 8 and served as a cisplatin treated group. Third group, was received capparis spinosa fruit extract (100 mg/kg B.W) for 10 days and 10 mg/kg cisplatin as a single dose at day 8 . The results showed that the animals that treated with cisplatine alone were severed from histopathological changes and significantly increasing in the level of (Urea, Cr and Total protein ). While the third group (that treated with hydroalcoholic extract of capparis spiosa fruit ethanol 70% ) showed decreasing in the histopathplogical changes in kidney , also significantly decrease in the level of (Urea, Cr and Total protein ). In this study csplatine induced histopathplogical changes, alteration and increasing in the level of (Urea, Cr and Total protein ), while the ( hydroalcoholic extract of capparis spiosa fruit ethanol 70% ) was have ability to maintain kidney function test .

Tamoxifen (TAM) is used in breast cancer chemotherapy since its approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 1977. However, TAM therapy is accompanied with cardiomyocytes apoptosis. Oxidative stress and inflammation are the major implicated mechanisms contributing to TAM apoptosis. In this study, we explored whether zinc (Zn) supplementation could prevent TAM-induced cardiomyocytes injury in adult female rabbits. Rabbits were received zinc orally (0.3 mg/ kg body weight / day for 42 days) in zinc group, Tamoxifen group were received orally (0.25 mg/ kg body weight for 42 days), and combination (Zn+Tam) group were received equal dose from zinc and tamoxifen. To study the effect of the tamoxifen (selective estrogen receptor modulator) on the cardiac muscle. Results showed of histopathological study of heart taken from zinc treated group not showed any important abnormalities in histological appearance, tamoxifen group in heart tissue showed a massive necrotic tissue and a huge inflammatory cell infiltration to damaged area and combination group lesion showed active inflammatory process which included blood vessels congestion, edema formation, inflammatory cell aggregation especially macrophage and Myocyte vacuolization. As a consequence, the finding of the research Tam induction over production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cardiac cell and the imbalance between the ROS generating system and the antioxidant system can lead to a potentially harmful to tissues and cells.
