Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- 1) Observation of general condition: all the animals were observed twice, i.e. every morning and in the afternoon, for the presence of toxic symptoms, abnormal behavior, and dead or moribund animals.
2) Body weight: weekly from the beginning until the end of treatment and after the recovery period.
3) Food consumption: Once a week, feed intake (g/week) was calculated.
4) Clinical pathology: conducted twice, i.e. at the end of treatment and at the end of the recovery period.
a. Hematological tests:
First, EDTA-3K was added to the samples as anticoagulant. Analysis included white blood cell count (WBC: dark-field plate method), number of red blood cells (RBC: dark-field plate method), hemoglobin (HGB: cyanmethemoglobin method), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume ( MCV: RBC, HCT calculated) hemoglobin mean corpuscular (MCH: HGB, RBC calculated) concentrations of hemoglobin mean cell (MCHC: HGB, HCT calculated), platelet count (PLT: plate method darkfield) differential count using the automatic blood analyzer THMS H6000 (Technicon Corporation, USA). Reticulocyte (RC) for the rate calculation, Kyapirotto whole blood (Terumo Corporation) after staining, and microscopic examination of blood smears. After addition of sodium citrate on blood plasma, measurement of prothrombin time (Quick one stage method), activated partial thromboplastin time method (clot) and fibrinogen (thrombin time method), blood coagulation and automatic measuring equipment KC-40 (Amelung Germany Inc.) was measured using.
b. Blood chemistry:
Measurement of serum total protein (burette method), albumin (BCG method), A / G ratio (calculated), glucose (glucose oxidase method), triglycerides (enzymatic method), total cholesterol (enzymatic method), urea nitrogen (BUN: improved method urease), total bilirubin (dye method diazo), calcium (Arsenazo III dye method), inorganic phosphorus method (ammonium molybdate), Sodium (electrode method), potassium (electrode method) and chloride (electrode law) to EKTACHEM 700N (Kodak, USA), and creatinine (alkaline picric acid colorimetric method), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT: Karmen Improvement Act), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT: Karmen Improvement Act), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP: Szasz modified method) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP: Bessey-Lowry-Brock Improvement Act) to CentrifiChem ENCOREII (Baker Inc., USA) .
c. Urinalysis:
Prior to the examination of blood, urine collection device for 24 hours (until 10 am to 10 am the next day) and urine collection, urine volume, color and turbidity after the test, the urine specific gravityurinometer was measured using UR-S ((Co) Atago). Also, urine sediment after centrifugation of applying Sternheimer staining variations, and microscopic examination.
Further, measurement of pH, occult blood, ketones, sugars, proteins, bilirubin and urobilinogen on, N-Marutisutikkusu SG test strips (Miles Sankyo (Co)) and CLINITEK 200 (Miles Inc., USA). - Sacrifice and pathology:
- At the end of the period of treatment and of recovery, autopsy was performed on animals anesthetized with ether.
The brain, liver, kidney, spleen, adrenals, testes and ovaries were separated and weighed, relative organ weights (organ/body weight ratio) were calculated. Other organs dissected: pituitary gland eye, thyroid (including parathyroid gland), heart, lungs, stomach, bladder, bone marrow (femur) were observed for macroscopical changes in organ tissue and all organs were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin solution. Histopathological examination of organ tissue was performed on heart, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenal gland and femurof the high-dose group and control group were performed. Slice preparation was prepared according to conventional methods and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for microscopic examination. - Statistics:
- Body weights, food consumption, hematology laboratory values, blood chemistry values, urinalysis values (only urine volume and urine specific gravity), organ weight and organ weight body weight ratio, were tested for variance (ANOVA) and subsequently a Bartlett's test was performed. After analysis of the distribution and variance the Dunnett's multiple comparison test was performed in case of equal numbers of samples in each group or the Duncan multiple range test when unequal sample sizes. In the case of unequal variance the Kruskal-Wallis rank test was used instead of the Bartlett test. Regarding the correlation between response and dose, the Jonckheere test was used to test the significance of the trend.
