In vitro antitumor and immunomodulatory activities of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives by Héverton Mendes Araújo, Gabriel Acácio de Moura, Yasmim Mendes Rocha, Cristian Vicson Pinheiro Gomes, Valentina Nascimento e Melo de Oliveira, Ronaldo Nascimento de Oliveira, Larissa Deadame de Figueiredo Nicolete, Emanuel Paula Magalhães, Ramon R.P.P.B. de Menezes, Roberto Nicolete

“…Exposure to melanoma murine supernatants also promotes M1 polarization. Supernatants containing traces of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative 2 (Supernatants B, C, and D) increased the percentage of M1 cells compared to Supernatant A, as well as elevated levels of nitrite, TNF-α, and IL-12. 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative 2 combined with Supernatant A and 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative 2 combined with LPS also resulted in higher M1 polarization, suggesting a synergistic effect on M1 polarization and TNF-α production. …”

The Use of Potato Aerial Parts in the Diet of Fattening Male lambs as a Complete Feed Block by Saleh Salehi, Hamid Reza Bahmani, Shiva Mafakheri, Hassan Fazaeli, Ataollah Rahimi

“…Considering the competition between humans and animals for many food items and the limitation of basic production resources, and on the other hand, the high levels of waste and waste in the agricultural sector, the optimal use of these wastes can play a significant role in the prosperity of animal husbandry and reducing the price of animal feed, and finally Increase livestock production. On the other hand, it is not possible to allocate more land and water for the production of animal feed items than the current level, so the use and exploitation of agricultural by-products is one of the necessities of the animal husbandry industry. …”
