We investigated possible anti-diabetic effect of ferrocene-based acyl ureas: 4-ferrocenyl aniline (PFA), 1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-3-(4-ferrocenylphenyl) urea (DPC1), 1-(3-chlorobenzoyl)-3-(4-ferrocenylphenyl) urea (DMC1), 1-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-3-(4-ferrocenylphenyl) urea (DOC1) and homoleptic cadmium carboxylates: bis (diphenylacetato) cadmium (II) (DPAA), bis (4-chlorophenylacetato) cadmium (II) (CPA...

introduction: strength training has an important role in the exercise programs of normal individuals and athletes and it also has numerous benefits on the health of human body and spirit. one of the types of these exercise is eccentric resistance exercise which is associated with negative physiological changes. thus: this study examined the effects of a single bout of eccentric resistance exerc...

Whey protein consumption reportedly alleviates parameters of the metabolic syndrome. Here, we investigated the effects of whey protein isolate (whey) in young mice fed a high-fat diet. We hypothesized that whey as the sole protein source reduced early weight gain associated with retarded growth and decreased concentration of insulin-like growth factor-1. Moreover, we hypothesized that these cha...

This chapter provides information on some recent developments of fertilizer production and use that improve nutrient efficiency and minimize environmental impact. The nutrients discussed are mainly N, P, and S. Improving N nutrient efficiency includes use of (1) controlled-release coated urea products, (2) slowrelease urea–aldehyde polymer products, (3) urea supergranules for deep placement, (4...

In this study, the urea-enzymatic field effect transistors (EnFETs) were investigated based on pH-ion sensitive field effect transistors (ISFETs) with tantalum pentoxide (Ta(2)O(5)) sensing membranes. In addition, a post N(2) annealing was used to improve the sensing properties. At first, the pH sensitivity, hysteresis, drift, and light induced drift of the ISFETs were evaluated. After the cova...

an experiment was conducted to study wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of nitrogen afterflowering. the rcbd design was analysed with three replications and four n-treatments as foliar application as(n0=0, n1=4kg.ha-1 urea, n2=8kg.ha-1 urea, n3=4kg.ha-1 ammonium sulfate). results showed that seed proteincontent increased significantly by foliar application of nitrogen. da...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect different forms Lentilactobacillus buchneri on in vitro methane production, fermentation characteristics, nutritional quality, and aerobic stability corn silage treated with or without urea. following treatments were applied prior ensiling: (1) no urea treatment LB; (2) treatment+freeze dried (3) treatment+preactivated (4) treatment+no (5) (6)...

A number of xenobiotics and certain pathophysiological situations cause the induction of CYP2E1. The present study was designed to establish the role of plasma urea nitrogen and L-arginine on hepatic CYP2E1 expression in rats or rats with acute renal failure. Exposure of rats to a single intravenous dose of 5 mg/kg uranyl nitrate caused renal failure in 5 days (ARF), as evidenced by increases i...

1. In acute experimental hydronephrosis chloride retention occurs as well as retention of water, urea, and phenolsulfonephthalein. 2. If both water and chlorides are retained there may be no appreciable rise in the plasma chloride content. 3. When chlorides are retained, but not water, the chloride content of the plasma rises strikingly. 4. After the removal of the ureteral obstruction in acute...

The intact Xenopus laevis oocyte is a useful model system for studying expressed water and solute transporters but suffers from a number of limitations, most notably large unstirred layers and other intracellular diffusion barriers. To overcome these, we have developed a method for isolating plasma membrane vesicles from oocytes. This approach facilitates more precise control of the intravesicu...
