This study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of Nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of Leonardite and foliar application of N and K. The experiment was conducted in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources during 2013- 2014. The experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

BACKGROUND The current study aimed to elucidate the protective role of combined fenugreek and a-tocopherol against cadmium induced histopathological changes in the testes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty adult male albino rats divided into three equal groups 10 rats each. Group I is the control group. Group II received 5 mg/kg/ day cadmium chloride. Group III received 5 mg/kg/day cadmium chlorid...

Five-day-old seedlings of corn (Zealpha mays L.) grown without nitrate were decapitated and exposed to 0.5 mm KNO(3) or 0.5 mm KCl in aerated solutions at 30 C. Uptake of nitrate, chloride, and potassium was determined by replacing solutions hourly and measuring their depletion. Translocation of these ions and of organic nitrogen was determined by hourly analysis of the vascular exudate. Nitrat...

Aim of the study: Green tea catechin possesses antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity which stimulate detoxification system through selective induction or modification of phase I and phase II metabolic enzymes. This study was carried out to assess the antioxidative and antimetalotoxic effect of green tea Catechin against cadmium chloride in mice. Method: Adult Swiss albino mice were i...

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) use sodium and potassium gradients to remove glutamate from the synapse and surrounding extracellular space, thereby sustaining efficient synaptic transmission and maintaining extracellular glutamate concentrations at subneurotoxic levels. In addition to sodium-driven glutamate uptake, EAATs also mediate a glutamate-activated chloride conductance via a...

development of industry in sistan and baluchestan (sb) province in iran, has increased the amount of cadmium (cd) in industrial wastewater, which is used as a secondary water supply in this area. the present study aimed to investigate the variation of cd concentration in soil column and cultivated cucumber plant in greenhouse under short-term simulated industrial wastewater irrigation. to simul...

Major uses Potassium chloride (KCl) is inorganic salt used for making fertilizers, since the growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake. Potassium in plants is important for the osmotic and ionic regulation, plays a key role in the water homeostasis and is closely connected with processes involved in the protein synthesis. KCl is also used for the manufacture of potassium hydrox...

Phenobarbital produces its anti-epileptic actions by increasing the inhibitory drive of γ-aminobutyric acid. However, following recurrent seizures, γ-aminobutyric acid excites neurons because of a persistent increase of chloride raising the important issue of whether phenobarbital could aggravate persistent seizures. Here we compared the actions of phenobarbital on initial and established ictal...

Lead and cadmium are reported as heavy metals that induce blood disorders and immunological effects. This study was performed to determine the hematological toxicity and biochemical alterations in male albino rats as affected by the oral administration of a single dose equivalent to 1/20 from LD50 of lead acetate and cadmium chloride individually for 30 days, and evaluated the protective antiox...
