Cisplatin cytotoxicity is dependent on mitochondrial respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Objective(s): To understand the role of mitochondrial respiration in cisplatin sensitivity, we have employed wild-type and mitochondrial DNA depleted Rho0 yeast cells. Materials and Methods: Wild type and Rho0 yeast cultured in fermentable and non-fermentable sugar containing media, were studied for their sensitivity against cisplatin by monitoring growth curves, oxygen consumption, pH changes ...

Respiration Rate and Some Physicochemical Characteristics of Salicornia bigelovii as a Leafy Green Vegetable

Salicornia is a valuable halophyte annual plant in the most species. This salinity tolerance plant that grows in salt water marshes are found all over the world. Since salinity is a major stress factor, Salicornia is a priceless edible vegetable, considered to be a favourable resource for cultivation in arid and semiarid coastal zones. However, the important thing is ...

Influence of 1-aminoethoxyvinylglycine hydrochloride and α-naphthalene acetic acid on fruit retention, quality, evolved ethylene, and respiration in apples

Effects of 1-aminoethoxyvinylglycine hydrochloride (AVG or Aviglycine HCl or ReTain) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on fruit retention, fruit quality, eveloved ethylene, and respiration in ‘Rome Beauty’ and three ‘Delicious’ apple cultivars (Malus domestica Borkh.) were studied.  The experimental trees were treated with either AVG, applied at 120 g a.i. per 935 L. ha-1 or NAA, applied at t...

SALICYLIC ACID INHIBITION OF GERMINATION, ETHYLENE PRODUCTION AND RESPIRATION IN COCKLEBUR SEEDS

Salicylic acid (SA) inhibited germination of cocklebur (Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wlr), lower seeds, which are completely after-ripened and nondormant. SA also inhibited ethylene production during a pre-germination period of the seeds. Exogenous ethylene overcame the inhibtion of the seed germination by SA. Moreover, SA reduced respiration in pre-germinating whole seeds as well as excised axial...

Study of the Effect of Increase in The Rate of Respiration on PaCo2 in the Anesthetized Children

SUMMERY A controlled double -blind clinical trial was performed in 40 normal children, with no underlying pulmonary pathology, who underwent surgery. The objective was to study the effect of increase in the rate of respiration (RR) on PaCo2 in the anesthetized child . The RR of the control group (n=20) RR was set at 40/min. In the study patients (n=20) RR was set at 40/min. For the first 30 mi...
