Morpholine is an
organic chemical compound having the chemical formula
O(CH2CH
2)2N
H.With both
amine and

.It is used as a component in fungicides and as a chemical emulsifier in the process of waxing fruit, therefore the possibility of food contamination is probable. Exposure to morpholine causes toxic hazards,
to people with impaired kidney function, as well as chronic toxic hazards of gene mutations, cancer, neurotoxicity, bone pathology, and reproductive effects.
there is an association of decreasing total fertility rate with increasing morpholine levels ,decreased testosterone concentrations and a significant decline in sperm motility and reproductive toxicity of morpholine.Thus,the present study investigates the effect of both short term (2-week) and long term (4-week) exposure to morpholine on fertility .

The effect of IDJ on immune responses of Rabbits was investigated. Treatments were: 0, 1400, 2800 and 4200 mg of IDJ given orally at weekly intervals. Rabbits were given ad libitum access to feed and water and were on experiment for 12 weeks .Lymphocyte stimulation indices were significantly higher for Rabbits given the high amount of oral supplementation than for unsupplemented Rabbits.There were no significant differences in the concentrations of immunoglobulins G1 and G2 among treatments. Immunoglobulin M was significantly higher at week 6 in Rabbits given the higher amount of oral supplementation .At week 12, serum from Rabbits given the higher amount of oral supplementation inhibited infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viral replication in tissue cultures as compared with those of unsupplemented Rabbits.
