pth is the most important factor which control calcium homeostasis in the body in this study we tried to determine the normal range of pth and vitamin d with examining the relation between pth and bone density and vitamin d on the base of bones biological changes. our subjects were, 20 to 69 years-old men and women of tehran. serum volume of pth and vitamin d in different decades of life had si...

Lactating dairy goats were exposed to aflatoxin (100 and 200 ppb) and hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate at 1, 2, and 4% in two separate experiments. Naturally occurring low levels of aflatoxin M1 (.009 ppb) were found in the milk of the control diet, whereas there were no detectable levels of aflatoxin M1 in the milk of diets containing hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate in both expe...

The characterization of performance and losses proton exchange membrane (PEM) anion (AEM) electrolysis cells is typically carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy polarization curve measurements. With these common methods, lateral inhomogeneities, local degradation, or defects cannot be mapped. Lock-in thermography (LIT) offers the possibility mapping current flows electrical losse...

This study aimed to evaluate systematic reviews and meta-analyses that have examined the effect of exercise training on VO2max in healthy individuals at different intensities. Five databases were searched: EBSCOhost, MEDLINE/PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Web Science, Google Scholar. Eligibility criteria for selecting included adults lower intensity (LIT) and/or high (HIT) VO2max. Eleven met eligibility ...

GH is normally secreted in a pulsatile fashion. When GH is deficient, dwarfism is the result in both rodents and humans. An adenoviral vector containing the rat GH complementary DNA was used to induce constitutive GH expression in hepatocytes of GH-deficient lit/lit mice. Elevated serum GH increased circulating insulin-like growth factor I concentrations, corrected the growth deficiency, and no...

Twenty-three patients with a major depressive disorder were deprived of a night's sleep twice weekly, one week staying up in the dimly lit living room of the ward (less than 60 lux), and one week in a brightly lit room (greater than 2000 lux). Immediate, but transient beneficial effects of sleep deprivation were observed primarily in eight patients (the 'responders'). The immediate effects did ...

The hydrated electron-the species that results from the addition of a single excess electron to liquid water-has been the focus of much interest both because of its role in radiation chemistry and other chemical reactions, and because it provides for a deceptively simple system that can serve as a means to confront the predictions of quantum molecular dynamics simulations with experiment. Despi...

Factors governing hydration, regioselectivity and conformational choice in hydrated carbohydrates have been examined by determining and reviewing the structures of a systematically varied set of singly and multiply hydrated monosaccharide complexes in the gas phase. This has been achieved through a combination of experiments, including infrared ion-depletion spectroscopy conducted in a superson...
