Skeletal muscle fiber types differ in their contents of total phosphate, which includes inorganic phosphate (P(i)) and high-energy organic pools of ATP and phosphocreatine (PCr). At steady state, uptake of P(i) into the cell must equal the rate of efflux, which is expected to be a function of intracellular P(i) concentration. We measured (32)P-labeled P(i) uptake rates in different muscle fiber...

The purpose of this investigation was to determine if subjects can self-regulate exercise intensity during intermittent exercise by using ratings of perceived exertion. Thirty-one subjects completed an estimation trial maximal treadmill graded exercise test (GXT). Using the oxygen uptake and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) from the GXT, target RPEs that corresponded to 50% and 70% of oxygen...

Low iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) ocean regions are often home to the globally important N2-fixing cyanobacterium Trichodesmium spp., which physiologically adapted Fe/P co-limitation. Given Trichodesmium's eminent ability capture particles common associations between Fe P in sediments aerosols, we hypothesized that mineral bio-dissolution by spp. may enable them co-acquire P. We present a new se...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices) symbiosis on mineral uptake of two pistachio cultivars (pistacia vera cv. qazvini and pistacia vera cv. badami-riz-zarand) grown in the greenhouse under different drought stress levels. drought stress (ds) reduced the mycorrhizal colonization in both cultivars as well as nu...

Arsenic (As)-contaminated soil and water vary with pH and concentrations of As and P. This study examined the effects and interactions of three factors, pH, As and P, on As hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata L. to optimize plant growth and maximize As removal from contaminated sites, especially water. Two sets of hydroponic experiments were conducted using three-factor, five-level central composit...

ABSTRACT-Water stress is the main cause for crop yield reduction in the majority of agricultural regions of the world because it affects almost all plant functions. The effects of Glomus mosseae on growth, nutrients uptake, and antioxidant enzymes of sour orange (Citrus aurantium) and rough lemon) Citrus jambheri) rootstocks were assessed in sterilized soil under greenhouse conditions.  A three...

In the end-stage renal disease patient, certain uremic compounds could influence the cellular accumulation of aluminum (Al). In this study, we examined the effect of 15 uremic ultrafiltrate fractions obtained by HPLC on the uptake and toxicity of Al in mouse hepatocytes (MH) in culture, a model system in which Al is taken up bound to transferrin (Tf). Uremic fractions 4 to 8, 12, 14, and 15 inc...
