Milk samples were taken from 10 plains viscacha between 9 and 64 days post partum. Mean concentrations (+/- s.e.) were 17 +/- 1.1 mM-Na; 32 +/- 1.6 mM-K; 35 +/- 2.2 mM-Cl; 116 +/- 3.3 mM-lactose (total reducing sugar) (all in 8 samples); less than 10-220 mg citrate/l (range of 4 samples); 15.7 +/- 0.64 g total nitrogen/l (3 samples). The Na:K ratio was 1:1.95 +/- 0.17. It was estimated that the...

background: the effects of aqueous extract of fadogia agrestis stem at the doses of 18, 36, and 72 mg/kg body weight on alloxan-induced toxicity was investigated in wistar rats. methods: in total, 35 rats of both sexes (132.80±7.22g) were randomized into five groups (a-e): animals in group a received 0.5 ml of distilled water orally on daily basis for 15 days while the alloxanized rats in group...

a factorial experiment based randomized complete block was conducted in order to investigation of two rice (oryza sativa l.) genotypes responses for na+, k+, ca2+, mg2+, clˉ, mn2+, p and total soluble sugars accumulation and compartmentation in leaves 3, 4, 5 and 6 to salt stress. in estimation of the simple correlation between traits, dry weight was negatively correlated with na+ and clˉ. the ...

Using first-principles calculations, we describe and compare atomistic lithiation, sodiation, and magnesiation processes in black phosphorous with a layered structure similar to graphite for Li-, Na-, and Mg-ion batteries because graphite is not considered to be an electrode material for Na- and Mg-ion batteries. The three processes are similar in that an intercalation mechanism occurs at low L...

We compared sodium-calcium (Na-Ca) exchange in vascular smooth muscle between spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Aortic rings of 11 SHR and 11 WKY rats aged 11-12 weeks were superfused with physiological saline, and isometric tension was measured. Systolic blood pressure was higher in SHR (174 +/- 12 mm Hg) than in WKY rats (132 +/- 4 mm Hg): 1) In the presence o...

todays, the world development is facing serious water quality issues. since protect of water quality and ecosystem healthy is an important aspect of ecohydrology. the present research aimed to analyze the temporal trends of water quality parameters of mashin zard river station in order to planning long term management approaches. in this research, trend of some significant factors of water qual...

to determine the most important traits affecting root yield and sugar content in monogerm germplasm of sugar beet, 75 monogerm f1 hybrids were evaluated in three separate experments conducted in randomized complete block desing (rcb) with four replications at abdo–al–rasoul research farm, karaj in 2004. root yield, root length, root diameter, crown height, crown diameter, sugar content, α–amino...
