We have previously shown that microinjection of monoclonal antibody to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) into the caudal nucleus tractus solitarii causes a pressor response in salt-sensitive spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) fed a basal (1%) salt diet, suggesting that endogenous ANP in this region may be involved in the centrally mediated regulation of blood pressure in this model. The prese...

a highly selective electrode for bromide ion based on aza pyrilium derivative as an excellentionophore is described.the sensor exhibits a good linear response with a slope of ( 60±1 ) mv per decadeover the concentration range of ( 1×10-3 – 9×10-6 m ) , and a detection limit of ( 3×10-6 m ) of bromideions .the electrode response is independent of ph in the range of(4.0 –9.5).selectivity coeffici...

this study was carried out to determine the effect of fermentation, hydrothermal treatment, soda (na2co3), and table salt (nacl) addition on the extent of phytase activity and phytate degradation in three iranian wheat cultivars, namely, mahdavi, ghods, and roshan. the samples were milled to three different extraction rates, i.e. whole, 85%, and 75% flours and three kinds of leavening procedure...

objective(s): auraptene, a monoterpene coumarin from citrus species, exhibits cardioprotective effects.in this study, the effects of auraptene administration were investigated on blood pressure of normotensive and desoxycorticosterone acetate (doca) salt induced hypertensive rats. materials and methods: five weeks administration of auraptene (2, 4, 8 and 16 mg/kg/day) and nifedipine (0.25, 0.5,...

abstract a 71-year-old male with a long history of diabetes and hypertension was admitted with mild azotemia and recurrent hyponatremia. he was diagnosed with a pituitary gland cystic tumor. on careful evaluation, his hyponatremia was found to be due to cerebral salt wasting. the patient made a full recovery following treatment for cerebral salt wasting.

We have previously shown that renal vascular resistance is less in Dahl salt-sensitive rats than salt-resistant rats fed 1% NaCl diets; however, renal vascular resistance increases before nonrenal vascular resistance as salt-sensitive rats develop hypertension when fed 8% NaCl diets. When salt-resistant rats are given 8% NaCl diets, renal vascular resistance decreases. The current study reports...

SUMMARY In the northern part of The Netherlands the magnesium salts carnalite and bischofite are mined in a deep solution mine. For optimal production and also for environmental impact such as subsidence, it is vital to understand the process of salt production. To this aim, it is studied whether seismic in time-lapse mode may help to visualize and quantify the changes due to the salt productio...

In order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(Triticum aestivum L.), an experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of Shiraz University. Results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...
