OBJECTIVE Salt intake restriction is important to health maintenance in subjects tending toward excessive intake. For convenience salt intake is ordinarily estimated at health check up centers using a salt-preference questionnaire, but whether or not the questionnaire identifies excessive salt consumers is unclear. METHODS Daily salt intake in 725 subjects including 452 men examined at our he...

Salt body interpretation is important for building subsurface models and interpreting seismic horizons and faults which might be truncated by the salt. Salt interpretation often includes two steps: highlighting salt boundaries with a salt attribute image, and extracting salt boundaries from the attribute image. Although both steps have been automated to some extent, salt interpretation today ty...

salt stress negatively impacts crops yield throughout the world. nine varieties of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) were screened for salt stress tolerance by measuring in-vitro growth of the aerial plant parts, as well as roots. salt stress was evaluated by adding 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm of nacl to murashige- skoog (ms) medium and compared to ms medium without nacl. plant length and ...

salt stress is a factor limiting crop growth and productivity around the world. developing salt tolerant cultivars using desired plant features has been considered as a way to cope with the problem. in this study, a factorial experiment was used in order to determine the effects of salt stress on stomatal length at abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces, relative water content (rwc) and transpiratio...

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...

The bleomycins (BLMs) are natural products that in the presence of iron and oxygen bind to and cause single-strand and double-strand cleavage of DNA. The mode(s) of binding of the FeBLMs that leads to sequence-specific cleavage at pyrimidines 3' to guanines and chemical-specific cleavage at the C-4' H of the deoxyribose of the pyrimidine has remained controversial. 2D NMR studies using the hydr...

To survive in a saline environment, halophytes have evolved many strategies to resist salt stress. The salt glands of recretohalophytes are exceptional features for directly secreting salt out of a plant. Knowledge of the pathway(s) of salt secretion in relation to the function of salt glands may help us to change the salt-tolerance of crops and to cultivate the extensive saline lands that are ...

Extracellular aging--accumulating molecular damage by glycation, oxidation, and crosslinking of long-lived extracellular proteins, mainly collagen and elastin--is a major cause of several important human aging pathologies. Crosslinking increases mechanical stiffness of blood vessels and urinary bladder. Crosslinking impairs the functioning of the kidney, heart, retina, and other tissues and org...
