a liquid membrane containing diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2) shows specificity for k ion in transport while diethylene glycol dibutyl ether (1) was selective for na over k . as an extractant, ligand 2 exhibited pronounced extraction selectivity for k over na in comparison with ligand 1

118 dentistry students were studied to show the possible correlation between ph, concentration of ca2+, p3+, na+, and k+ of saliva and decay, missing, and filling tooth (dmft index). candidates were between 20 and 30 years old and had no background systemic disorders; medial and dental histories, age, sex, and dmft index were recorded in a questionnaire organized for this purpose. saliva sample...

Studies, at steady state, of the Na,K-ATPase dependent influx of K+ into bovine lenses in organ culture are used to characterize further the H2O2-modification of the Na+ pump. Control lenses display constants for interaction with external Na+ and K+ similar to those obtained for the erythrocyte. H2O2 treatment of the bovine lens leads to total loss of external Na+ stimulation and alteration of ...

distribution and mobility of nine mineral elements (k, ca, na, mg, fe, zn, cu, se, and cr) in cultured gentiana rigescens and its root zone soil were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. g. rigescens materials were planted under tea and white papaya trees in yun county and yongde of lincang area in yunnan province of china. the results showed that g. rigescens and its soil were high in...

introduction: to assess the salivary composition of proteins and minerals in smokers compared with non-smokers.   materials and methods: in this study we compared the total protein and ca, na, k, mg, pb of whole saliva in two groups of men (28 smokers and 31nonsmokers) aged between 29-41years.   results: fifty-nine participants were evaluated. the mean age was 33.14±5.32 years among smokers and...

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limit crop growth and production. Salt stress influences plants in two ways: by affecting ion toxicity and increasing osmotic stress. Ion homeostasis, the excretion of Na+ and using antioxidant systems are the major strategies of salt tolerance in plants. Na+ and K+ transporters with enzymes that are involved in detoxification of react...
