Öğe Co-culture of rat luteal cells with islet cells enhances islet viability and revascularization(Springer, 2018) Boyuk, Gulbahar; Yigit, A. Arzu; Aydogan, IlkayIslet cell transplantation is a major treatment strategy for type I diabetes, and has proven to be effective for maintaining glucose homeostasis. However, this treatment requires an extended period of immunosuppression to prevent rejection and recurrent transplantation to maintain function. Thus, to enhance the properties of transplanted islet cells, we examined the effect of the co-culture of luteal cells, which secrete progesterone, on islet cell viability, functionality, and revascularization. It was found that islet viability and functionality were higher in the co-cultured group than in single cultures of islets at 48 and 96 h, in parallel with increased progesterone and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion from luteal cells. In the co-culture groups, VEGF levels at 48 and 96 h and CD31 levels at 48 h were significantly higher than those in the islet groups (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) levels were increased at 96 h (p < 0.001). Thus, co-culture with luteal cells may increase islet vascularity by enhancing VEGF and bFGF levels for up to 96 h, which could help to markedly increase the pre-transplantation time to allow for effective immunosuppression therapy. This method may also promote islet cell viability and functionality. Progesterone and angiogenic factors secreted from luteal cells may be responsible for these positive effects.Öğe The determination of nutrient contents and metabolizable energy levels of some roughages produced in Kirikkale region(Ankara Univ Press, 2008) Gugor, Tulin; Basalan, Mehmet; Aydogan, IlkayThis experiment was carried out to determine the nutrient contents and metabolizable energy (ME) levels of some roughages produced in Kirikkale region. Alfalfa hay, hungarian vetch hay, corn silage, dried crop corn, wheat straw, chickpea straw and grape pomace were used in this experiment. In this study the levels of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extracts (EE) and crude ash (CA) in feed samples were determined by Weende Analysis methods and crude fibre (CF) quantities by Crampton and Maynard's method. Acid detergent fibre (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) contents were determined by Van Soest analysis. The equations developed by CF, ADF and ADL was used to calculate the ME values of feeds for ruminants. Dry matter values of the roughages varied between 90.12-95.31%. mean CP and CF levels were found as 20.26, 12.11, 5.61, 3.63, 12.15% and 24.71, 30.62, 33.30, 45.53, 33.52% for good quality alfalfa hay, low quality alfalfa hay, corn silage, wheat straw and grape pomace, respectively. In this study, the nutrient composition and energy values of some roughages produced in Kirikkale region were tabulated.Öğe Effects of Supplemental Epigallocatechin Gallate in the Diet of Broilers Exposed to Fluoride Intoxication(Humana Press Inc, 2018) Aydogan, Ilkay; Karsli, Mehmet Akif; Basalan, Mehmet; Yildirim, Ebru; Cinar, Miyase; Sen, Goekhan; Sumer, TugceWe evaluated the effects of dietary epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on the performance, biochemical parameters, and liver histopathology of fluoride-intoxicated broiler chickens. In total, 160 1-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross PM3 strain) were collected and assigned to four groups (40 animals each), with four replicates. The control group received a basal diet; the F group received 800mg/kg fluoride; the EGCG group received 400mg/kg EGCG; and the EGCG+F group received 400mg/kg EGCG and 800mg/kg fluoride. The live weight (LW) of F-treated chicks was significantly lower than that of the controls. In the F-treated groups, feed intake (FI) and LW values were lower, but the feed conversion ratio (FCR) was higher than those of the controls. The ratio of heart weight to LW was found to be the highest in the F-treated groups. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total oxidant status (TOS) levels in the F-treated groups were significantly higher, whereas the increase in total cholesterol levels was insignificant than those in the control group. In the EGCG+F group, AST, total cholesterol, and TOS levels decreased to a level comparable to those in the control group. Histopathological evaluation revealed that there were mild changes in the portal region in the EGCG+F group; additionally, there was an improvement in liver morphology in the EGCG+F group compared to that in the F group. Thus, EGCG has potent antioxidant and regenerative effects that can ameliorate the detrimental effects of fluoride toxicity on blood parameters and the liver.Öğe Influence of Florfenicol on Hematological Parameters in Broilers(Wiley, 2018) Yigit, Ayse Arzu; Yildirim, Ebru; Baydan, Emine; Aydogan, Ilkay; Ekici, Husamettin; Guncum, Enes…Öğe Performance and Some Blood Biochemical Parameters of Broilers Fed Diets Containing(Gorgan Univ Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources, 2024) Demirci, Mehmet; Evci, Sevket; Karsli, Mehmet Akif; Aydogan, IlkayThis study aimed to explore the impact of incorporating hemp seed oil (Cannabis sativa L.) at 1.5% and 3% levels in broiler diets on broiler performance, carcass yield, weights of some internal organs, and some blood parameters. In total, 132 day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were utilized, with the control group (C) receiving a basal diet without supplementation. Experimental groups included 1.5% hemp seed oil (HOA) and 3% hemp seed oil (HOB) added to the basal diet. The 42-day experiment concluded with the total average live weight (LW) for control, HOA, and HOB groups reaching 2637.90, 2647.81, and 2665.68 g, respectively. Average live weight gains (LWG) were 2595.03, 2605.16, and 2622.54 g; average feed intake (FI) amounted to 4044.25, 3880.78, and 3900.36 g, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) values were 1.56, 1.50, and 1.49, respectively. While LW, LWG, and FI values did not differ significantly between groups (P > 0.05), the addition of hemp seed oil notably improved FCR (P < 0.05). Relative carcass rates and weights of carcass, heart, pancreas, and spleen were similar across groups (P > 0.05). However, liver weight was lowest in the HOA group, and the bursa of Fabricius weight was lowest in the C group (P < 0.05). No statistical differences were observed in serum glucose, albumin, triglyceride, and total cholesterol parameters among groups (P > 0.05). Total protein, HDL-c, nonHDL-c, LDL-c, TAC, and TOC values were significantly influenced by hemp seed oil (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the data suggest that adding up to 3% hemp seed oil to broiler diets can have notable effects on feed conversion ratio and serum biochemical parameters, offering critical health benefits, particularly in improving serum lipid profiles. However, the antioxidant properties of hemp seed oil were found to be weak.
