The present paper presents normal values for the contents of water, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,chloride, copper, and iron in peripheral nerves (tibialis, fibularis prolundus, and ulnaris) in individuals without any neurological condition. This study constitutes a basis for the interpretation of other data, still being gathered, relating these normal values with those obta...

I t has previously been demonstrated that dietary potassium deficiency in animals is associated with low serum chloride and elevated serum bicarbonate concentration (1-5). In 1950 the present authors described a decrease of intracellular carbon dioxide in the skeletal muscle of potassium-deficient rats (6), an observation which has since been confirmed by others (7). The present communication p...

An enzyme that hydrolyzes sphingomyelin to ceramide and phosphorylcholine has been purified from the growth medium of Clostridium perfringens. The activity of the enzyme is stimulated about Z-fold by magnesium chloride and by diethyl ether. The activity of the enzyme is completely inhibited by 10M3 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or 10-3 M calcium chloride. Lysolecithin and dipahnitoyl lecith...

Hydrological studies were made for 6 months covering monsoon, summer and transition periods in a reservoir, chiefly to understand the plankton productivity. The physical factors like temperature, light, pH and chemical factors like dissolved O , CO , carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, calcium, 2 2 magnesium, sodium and potassium were estimated.

Magnesium alloys as biodegradable metal implants in orthopaedic research received a lot of interest in recent years. They have attractive biological properties including being essential to human metabolism, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. However, magnesium can corrode too rapidly in the high-chloride environment of the physiological system, loosing mechanical integrity before the tissu...

The reaction mixture of magnesium chloride with two equivalents of potassium anthranilate [K+ AnthÐ] in water gives on cooling to 0 ∞C a 60% yield of a precipitate which after drying in a vacuum has the composition [Mg(H2O)6](Anth)2 (1). Recrystallization from hot water affords an octahydrate identified as [Mg(H2O)6](Anth)2(H2O)2 (2) in a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Contrary to find...

Magnesium metal is an ideal rechargeable battery anode material because of its high volumetric energy density, high negative reduction potential and natural abundance. Coupling Mg with high capacity, low-cost cathode materials such as electrophilic sulphur is only possible with a non-nucleophilic electrolyte. Here we show how the crystallization of the electrochemically active species formed fr...

AIM The study was undertaken to find out the gross composition, nitrogen distribution, and selected mineral content in Surti goat milk, and its comparison was made between cow and buffalo milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Goat milk samples of Surti breed and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural Univ...

BACKGROUND Potassium citrate (K-Cit) is one of the medications widely used in patients with urolithiasis. However, in some cases with calcium oxalate (CaOx) urolithiasis, the significant response to alkaline therapy with K-Cit alone does not occur. There is scarce published data on the effect of magnesium chloride (Mg-Cl(2)) on urolithiasis in pediatric patients. This study aimed to evaluate th...

Magnesium oxide suitable for the use in basic refractories was prepared from dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) by hydrochloric acid leaching, precipitation with CO2 and thermal hydrolysis. Leaching of the dolomite ore in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution was investigated with respect to the effects of time on dissolution of the dolomite sample. The dependence of the observed dissolution rate on pH was est...
