Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) is a renal autoregulatory mechanism that constricts the afferent arteriole in response to increases in distal NaCl. Heme oxygenases (HO-1 and HO-2) release carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin, which may help control renal function. We showed in vitro that HO products inhibit TGF; however, we do not know whether this also occurs in vivo or the mechanism(s) involve...

A field experiment was carried out at the farm of Divyayan Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Morabadi, Ranchi during kharif season 2022 with 10 treatments (T1: control or no treatment, T2: Corm treatment Beej Sanjeevani, T3: Beejamrit, T4: Soil application Jiwamrit, T5: Panchagavya, T6: Jiwamrit + T7: Sanjeevani soil T8: T9: Beejamrit T10: Panchagavya) placed in three times rep...

different explants of crocus sativus l. such as corm, style, ovary, petal, anther and leaf were cultured on ls and ms media supplemented with naa and bap or 2,4-d plus bap at different combinations. shoot and corm induction occurred in addition to the formation of other organs. efficient plantlet regeneration with strong roots occurred at 1 mg 1-i of both naa and bap. an increase in 2,4-d level...

Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is one of the most underutilized crops in sub-Saharan Africa and an important staple food tropics. Understanding its growth response under selected watering regimes planting densities underpins this research. A study was conducted at Kenya Agricultural Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), Embu Centre, during long rains (LR) 2021 short (SR) 2021–2022. f...

Abstract In an attempt to develop new anti‐inflammatory agents which act by co‐release of carbon monoxide (CO) and a specialized pro‐resolving mediator, we designed conjugates lipoxin A 4 analogue acyloxycyclohexadiene‐Fe(CO) 3 complex as esterase‐triggered CO‐releasing molecule (ET‐CORM). After adjustment the protecting group strategy, two such compounds were successfully prepared total synthe...

Cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases lead to impairment or death of neurons in the central nervous system. Stem cell based therapies are promising strategies currently under investigation. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenous product of heme degradation by heme oxygenase (HO) activity. Administration of CO at low concentrations produces several beneficial effects in distinct tissue...

The effect of recalcitrant hydrocarbons on the fatty acid profile from leaf, basal corm, and roots of Cyperus laxus plants cultivated in greenhouse phytoremediation systems of soils from aged oil spill-impacted sites containing from 16 to 340 g/Kg total hydrocarbons (THC) was assessed to investigate if this is a C18:3 species and if the hydrocarbon removal during the phytoremediation process ha...

Heme oxygenases (HO-1 and HO-2) catalyze the conversion of heme to carbon monoxide (CO), iron, and biliverdin. CO causes vasorelaxation via stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) and/or activation of calcium-activated potassium channels. Because nitric oxide (NO) exerts effects via the same pathways, we tested the interaction between CO and NO on rat afferent arterioles (AAs) using the ...
