Purpose: The document outlines the preferred methods for collecting blood from laboratory animals and blood collection volume and frequency limits. Blood collection for experimental purposes must comply with researchers of the Drug research institute (DRI) approved protocol, including approved collection techniques, volumes, and frequencies. The Department of Pharmacology researchers train investigators in various collection techniques. The researcher may collect blood for veterinary care purposes using accepted clinical techniques ensuring volumes collected do not adversely affect animal health.
Blood Collection Limits: The DRI limits one time survival blood collection to 7.5% of an animal’s blood volume in most circumstances. Serial blood sampling limit vary by species, strain and frequency of blood collection. The DRI may require monitoring for anemia (using assays such as hematocrit and/or serum protein levels) when repeated collection of larger volumes are required. Blood collected for diagnostics or other veterinary procedures must be considered when evaluating total volume available for experimental use. In all cases blood collection volumes should be limited to the minimum volume that will allow for successful experimentation or diagnostics.

Introduction:
Constipation is highly prevalent, often chronic gastrointestinal disorder that affects
adults. The treatment with classic drugs did not cut, in one hand with the inadequate relief of bloating
and other symptoms, and with the luck of efficacy in relieving constipation. Therefore, the search
for novel safe laxative drugs seems, inevitable. Rheum undulatum L. was traditionally used in
constipation, thus we have attempted to evaluate the laxative effect of Rheum undulatum L.
Purpose:
The laxative effect of Rheum undulatum L. was evaluated against loperamide
induced constipated rats.
Methodology:
Fifteen male normal rats were used in this study. Fifteen male constipated wistar
albino rats weighing 180-250 g were also used for the study and randomized into three groups
(n=5) in each of the experiments. Constipated control group rats oral administrated distilled water.
Constipated rats (treatment groups) were treated with 4.1 mg/kg dose body weight /day of the
preparation for one day and also Laxing a standard drug was used for the reference group. The
fecal weight, the fecal humidity laxative activity were monitored in experimental rats.

Constipation was successfully induced in the rats by loperamide as seen in the
elevated fecal properties compared to the control rats. The Rheum undulatum L. compounds
preparation administered orally produced significant laxative activity and reduced loperamide
induced constipation in dose dependent manner as seen in the increase of fecal output. The
same doses of the Rheum undulatum L. compounds preparation produced a significant increase
(P<0.05) fecal weight, the faeces humidity. The effect of the compounds preparation compares
favourably well with Laxing, a standard laxative drug.
Conclusion
The results of this study justify the use of Rheum undulatum L. compounds
preparation as a laxative in traditional medicine. The produced significantly increase in fecal output
of rats and the stimulation of gastrointestinal motility.

Myocardial infarction (Ml) is necrosis and death of heart muscle secondary to ischemia and acute coronary artery thrombosis. Ml, commonly known as a heart attack, happens when the oxygen rich blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked for a prolonged period, causing damage or death to the heart tissue. This blockage is most often caused by a buildup of fat, cholesterol, and other substances, which form a plaque in the coronary arteries. Furthermore, patients with cancer constitute a high-risk population for cardiovascular disease and as of the last 5 years, 50% of patients with cardiovascular disease have been diagnosed with cancer, according to World Health Organization. The provision of complete insight into Ml complications along with designing ajpreventive program against Ml seems necessary. The use of medications has been practiced over the years for the prevention of HF. However, some of these medications produce adverse effects and due to high cost are not easily available to every patient. Over the past decades, there has been a significant rise in the use of herbal supplements based on traditional medicine to prevent, avoid, and/or treat different conditions, including cardiovascular disease; this rise results from a natural source, efficiency
with few or no adverse effects and low cost. In vivo models of heart failure (HF) and myocardial infarction (Ml) are essential for understanding the pathophysiology of these conditions and for developing new treatments.
These models typically involve inducing heart failure or myocardial infarction in animals, such as rodents to study disease mechanisms and evaluate potential therapies.
In this review, we discuss the most common preclinical models of Ml currently employed in cardiovascular research. Among them, Ml induced heart failure is a method of ligation of the left anterior descending artery of coronary an experimental animal. Its physiological relevance, cost-effective, uncomplicated, and suitable
method for evaluating research results. The rat model of myocardial infarction offers numerous advantages that make it a valuable tool for cardiovascular research.
