Polaprezinc, a chelate compound consisting of zinc and l-carnosine, is clinically used as a medicine for gastric ulcers. It has been shown that induction of heat shock protein (HSP) is involved in protective effects of polaprezinc against gastric mucosal injury. In the present study, we investigated whether polaprezinc and its components could induce HSP70 and prevent acetaminophen (APAP) toxic...

An experiment was conducted to study wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of Nitrogen afterflowering. The RCBD design was analysed with three replications and four N-treatments as foliar application as(N0=0, N1=4kg.ha-1 Urea, N2=8kg.ha-1 Urea, N3=4kg.ha-1 Ammonium Sulfate). Results showed that seed proteincontent increased significantly by foliar application of Nitrogen. Da...

Excess urea fertilizer application to the agricultural fields causes severe environmental deterioration. Researchers actively seek safer alternatives, such as nanoparticles with unique properties, reduce chemical inputs without compromising output. In present study, three variants─hydroxyapatite–urea, magnesium-doped hydroxyapatite–urea, and zinc-doped hydroxyapatite–urea nanohybrids─have been ...

Abstract In California's water‐seeded rice systems, both high yields and nitrogen (N) use efficiency are achieved when the pre‐plant N fertilizer (usually aqueous‐ammonia [aqua‐N]) is injected into a dry seedbed before flooding planting. However, there situations where applying in this manner not possible. The objective of study was to evaluate alternative management practices by testing differ...

We present a new low-temperature refinement of disodium zinc bis-(sulfate) tetra-hydrate {systematic name: poly[tetra-μ-aqua-di-μ-sulfato-zinc(II)disodium(I)]}, [Na(2)Zn(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](n) or Zn astrakanite, which is an upgrade of previously reported data [Bukin & Nozik (1974 ▶). Zh. Strukt. Khim.15, 712-716]. The compound is part of an isostructural family containing the Mg (the original ...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of zinc and magnesium supplementation on glycemic control and serum insulin in type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial 70 diabetic patients who referred to yazd diabetes center were selected. subjects received 500 mg/day magnesium oxide or 100 mg/day zinc sulfate randomly for 8 weeks. at the s...

A study has been made of the influence of two pools of caseinophosphopeptides (CPPs) obtained from α(s)- and β-casein (CN) fractions, and of three specific CPPs (β-CN(1-25)4P, α(s1)-CN(64-74)4P and α(s2)-CN(1-19)4P), on iron bioavailability (ferritin synthesis) and zinc bioavailability (retention, transport and uptake of zinc) in Caco-2 cells. α-CPP and β-CPP pools did not improve ferritin synt...

Desulfotomaculum nigrificans, a typical sulfate reducing bacterium (SRB) was successfully grown in the presence of 12-210 mg/L of zinc. Complete bioremoval of zinc was achieved in 2 days for 12 mg/L while the bioremoval efficiency was about 70% in 40 days in the presence of 210 mg/L initial concentration of zinc, attesting to the inhibition of bacterial cell growth at higher zinc concentrations...

To validate azotemic markers as an index for intradialytic changes in solute concentration, we compared eight solutes (pseudouridine, xanthine, hypoxanthine, peak 4, peak 5, p-hydroxyhippuric acid, indoxyl sulfate, and hippuric acid) with five classical azotemic markers (urea, creatinine, uric acid, phosphate, and potassium). We determined concentrations by reversed-phase HPLC coupled to ultrav...
