We studied the effects of intrarenal calcium infusion on renin secretion in sodium-depleted dogs in an attempt to elucidate the major site of calcium-induced inhibition of renin release. Both calcium chloride and calcium gluconate reduced renal blood flow and renin secretion while renal perfusion pressure was unchanged. These data indicate that calcium inhibition of renin secretion did not occu...

Chicken breast meat was injected with calcium chloride alone and in combination with lactic acid (0.01% and 0.002%, respectively). The inhibitory effects of the treatments on microbial growth were determined in the injected chicken breast meat stored at 4°C under aerobic packaging condition for 0, 3, and 7 d. Calcium chloride combined with 0.002% and 0.01% lactic acid reduced microbial counts b...

among the most important mineral nutrients calcium is involved in determining fruit quality. there is one approad to increase fruit firmness, how to harvest, transport and storage of kiwifruit in iran is not appropriate and resulting damages caused by careless use of traditional methods in the field to offer to the consumer is very high. how harvest, transport and storage of kiwifruit, in iran,...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of immersion marination with citric acid, calcium chloride and combined mixture of citric acid and calcium chloride solutions on Semimembranosus meat quality traits. Meat cuts obtained from culled cows were marinated with 0.05 M citric acid, 0.2 M calcium chloride or the combined mixture of these two compounds for 24 hr. Nonmarinated me...

The application of calcium chelating agents (EDTA or EGTA) to the tips of maize roots caused a loss of gravitropic sensitivity. When the chelator was replaced with calcium chloride, gravitropic sensitivity was restored. Asymmetric application of calcium chloride near the tip of a vertical root caused curvature toward the calcium source. When the calcium was applied to the upper surface of the t...

this investigation aimed to examine the protective function of vitamin e on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) treated with cadmium chloride. rat bone marrow mscs were extracted using flashing-out and cultured in dmem containing 10% fbs and 100 u/ml pen/strep. at the end of the third passage, cells were divided into 4 groups including control, cadmium chloride, cadmium chloride + vit...

to study the effect of sucrose and calcium chloride on the quality and longevity of cut flower of rose cv. varlon, this experiment was conducted at the faculty of agriculture, zanjan university, zanjan, iran, in 2007. cut flowers were received from mahallat ornamental plants and flowers research station. experimental factors included: sucrose at four levels (0, 40, 80 and 100 mg/l) and calcium ...

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...
