Objective: In a previous work, we showed that asafoetida essential oil (AEO), from oleo-gum resin of Ferula asafoetida L. from the Apiaceae family, has a vasodilatory effect. This effect was both endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent. The present study was designed to determine whether potassium channels and intracellular calcium release contribute to AEO-i...

forward osmosis (fo) has recently drawn attention as a promising membrane based method for seawater and brackish water desalination. in this study, we focus on the use of calciun chloride (cacl2) and potassium bicarbonate (khco3) as inorganic salt draw solution candidates due to their appropriate performance in water flux and reverse salt diffusion as well as reasonable cost. the experiments we...

abstract in order to study salt stress, calcium and potassium effects and type of application on sorghum plant, a field experiment was arranged in randomized complete block in split plot design at the research field of center of excellence for special crops, ferdowsi university of mashhad at 2008. experimental treatments were included two levels of salinity (5 and 10 ds.m-1) as main plots and f...

background: thalassemia is one of the most common hereditary disorders and beta-thalassemia major is its severe form. the present study is concerned with the analysis of liver function, thyroid function and estimation of critical serum ions as well as hematological characteristics in beta-thalassemia patients and controls. subjects and methods: the study included 54 patients with beta-thalassem...

BACKGROUND Nutrition labels provide various information on the nutrient contents of food. However, despite the recent increase in the interest in dietary intake and expansion of related policies, studies on the association between nutrition label reading and dietary intake are lacking in Korea. METHODS This study analyzed the 2007-2009 KNHANES (Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination...

In this study, the effect on mineral content of eggs from local and exotic breed hens was investigated. For random samples were collected Ethiopian Institute Agricultural Research, Debrezeit Research Center, Fresh Corner Poultry Farming Debrezeite, Ethiopia for respectively. Eggshells edible portion egg analyzed Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K), Phosphors (P), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe),...

Abstract The objective of this research was to look into the binary exchange in four calcareous soils. ion adsorption carried by Batch equilibrium method used saturate soil samples with sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium ions, separately, get Sodium–Soil, Potassium–Soil, Calcium–Soil Magnesium–Soil. mean Kd (L kg –1 ) scores various systems were arranged as follows: Calcium – Magnesium (1...
