coenzyme q10 is a promising   agent for neuroprotection in neurodegenerative   diseases. neuroprotective effects of coenzyme q10 demonstrated in some   neurodegenerative diseases such as parkinson, alzheimer and etc. hippocampus   is home of these diseases. we assayed coenzyme q10 effects on hippocampal   injury model and our hypothesis is that coenzyme q10 has neuroprotective   effects in some...

The present study compared the postweaning blood pressures and body weights of borderline hypertensive rats exposed to a high (8%) sodium chloride maternal diet either from conception to weaning or only during the weaning period with borderline hypertensive rats consistently exposed to a normal (1%) sodium chloride maternal diet. Because the effects of early sodium chloride exposure may be most...

Chloride regulation affects brain function in many ways, for instance, by dictating the GABAergic reversal potential, and thereby influencing neuronal excitability and spike timing. Consistent with this, there is increasing evidence implicating chloride in a range of neurological conditions. Investigations about these conditions, though, are made difficult by the limited range of tools availabl...

We examined the relation between chloride concentration and the area of complexed chloride of Medtronic's Cystic Fibrosis Indicator System, using a high-resolution x-y coordinated digitizer to measure the circumference of the chloride precipitation ring. These digitized points were entered directly into an IBM PC computer, where the area of the chloride precipitation was calculated with use of ...

During early development, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) depolarizes and excites neurons, contrary to its typical function in the mature nervous system. As a result, developing networks are hyperexcitable and experience a spontaneous network activity that is important for several aspects of development. GABA is depolarizing because chloride is accumulated beyond its passive distribution in thes...

Corrosion induced by chloride ions becomes a critical issue for many reinforced concrete structures. The chloride ingress into concrete has been usually simplified as a di↵usion problem where the chloride concentration throughout concrete is estimated analytically. However, this simplified approach has several limitations. For instance, it does not consider chloride ingress by convection which ...

Methacholine chloride solutions, routinely used for testing bronchial hyperreactivity, have been shown to degrade over time. The data published addressing the optimal conditions for methacholine chloride storage are conflicting and incomplete. This study investigated the effects of a variety of conditions on the stability of methacholine chloride. Methacholine chloride, dissolved in phosphate b...

The Joint Transportation Research Program serves as a vehicle for INDOT collaboration with higher education institutions and industry in Indiana to facilitate innovation that results in continuous improvement in the planning, design, construction, operation, management and economic efficiency of the Indiana transportation infrastructure. NOTICE The contents of this report reflect the views of t...

Background: Cobalt (Co) is an essential trace element for mammals required for the synthesis of vitamin B12. It is not a cumulative toxin but chronic exposure induces negative effects on the organism. It was proven that cobalt passes via placenta appearing in the fetal blood and amniotic fluid and it is shown to possess an embryotoxic effect. Also, chromium (Cr) is recognized as a trace element...
