most cardiovascular diseases need to be treated by more than a simple drug and the use of combination products diminishes noncompliance. advicor ® as a combination product of a vitamin and a fat lowering agent has no monograph in official pharmacopeias for its quality control purposes. in this study, first and third derivative signals for na and lv quantitation at the two pairs of wavelengths, ...

a study of physiological responses of different wheat cultivars to saline conditions can lead to an identification of the main mechanisms in salt tolerance. seven bread wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance with varying ability of sodium accumulation in their different tissues were employed to assess ion distribution and sodium accumulation under saline conditions. ion distribution and na...

Seed priming with vitamins is an efficient method for increasing seedlings growth and productivity under stressful conditions. This study aimed to investigate the priming of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) seeds using 100 mg L ascorbic acid and nicotinamide and to study their interactions on growth and some physiological parameters of plant under salt stress (150 mM NaCl) for 4 weeks. Salinity treat...

Preservation of water quality, particularly in areas with inadequate water resources is considered as one of the principles of planning in integrated water management. In Kuhdasht, a region at the west of Iran, groundwater and spring water resources are the major contributors of drinking and irrigation water supply. The aim of this study was to determine the suitability and mapping of springs a...

The relationship between the increase in noradrenaline (NA) turnover and endogenous opioid peptides in the hypothalamus under stressful situations was investigated in rats using a specific antagonist of opioids, naloxone. Male Wistar rats were injected subcutaneously with saline, naloxone at 1 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg 10 min before exposure to immobilization stress for 1 hour. Levels of NA and its majo...

Invasive plants are recognized for their impressive abilities to withstand adverse environmental conditions however, all invaders do not express the similar abilities. Therefore, survival, growth, nutrient uptake and fecundity of two co-occurring, invasive Physalis species were tested under water and salinity stresses, and different soil textures in the current study. Five different water stres...

The electrogenic Na-K pump coupling ratio in the large neurons of the lobster cardiac ganglion was determined by two different electrophysiological techniques. A graphical analysis plotting exp(EmF/RT) vs. [K]o after the pump was blocked by ouabain was used to determine values for [K]i, PNa/PK, and the pump coupling ratio. These measurements were made 4-8 h after the cells were penetrated with ...

The influence of exogenous application of glycine betaine (GlyBet) was examined on photosynthetic pigments and ions concentration of safflower under salinity stress conditions. The experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design arranged as a factorial with three replications. Salinity treatments (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) were applied using sodium chloride (NaCl). GlyBet (0, 10, 3...

The title compound, disodium dimanganese(II) tris-[ortho-molybdate(VI)], was prepared by solid-state reactions. The structure can be described as being composed of Mn2Mo2O14 double-chains that are inter-connected by corner-sharing with MoO4 tetra-hedra, leading to a three-dimensional framework with channels propagating in [100] and [001] in which the Na(+) counter-cations are located. One of th...
