because of large-scale dry regions, salt marsh monitoring is necessary using of remote sensing data's. the aim of this study is to monitor salt kashan using of satellite data's processing. therefore, the satellite images of lissiii sensor were used. initially, the technique of color composite images envi4.8 software was used to clearly distinguish salt. then, principal component analy...

To assess effects of dietary salt on brain AT1 receptor densities, 4-wk-old Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl S) and salt-resistant (Dahl R) rats were fed a regular (101 mumol Na/g) or high (1,370 mumol Na/g)-salt diet for 1, 2, or 4 wk. AT1 receptors were assessed by quantitative in vitro autoradiography. AT1 receptor densities did not differ significantly between strains on the regular salt diet. The...

Local adaptation is an important mechanism underlying the adaptation of plants to environmental heterogeneity, and the toxicity of salt results in strong selection pressure on salt tolerance in plants and different ecotypes. Solidago canadensis, which is invasive in China, has spread widely and has recently colonized alkali sandy loams with a significant salt content. A common greenhouse experi...

Acid-base status and renal acid excretion were studied in the Dahl/Rapp salt-sensitive (S) rat and its genetically salt-resistant counterpart (R). S rats developed hypertension while on a very high salt diet (8%) and while on a more physiological salt diet (1%) and remained normotensive while on a very low salt diet (0.08%). Under the high salt diet, intracellular pH measured in freshly isolate...

Insulin resistance has been extensively investigated during the past decade because of its proposed role in initiating a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension. Insulin resistance is an inherited genetic trait that precedes hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive (S) rats, and is not present in Dahl salt-resistant (R) rats. Owing to the co-existence of insulin resistance and ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of spironolactone on ventricular stiffness in spontaneously hypertensive adult rats subjected to high salt intake. INTRODUCTION High salt intake leads to cardiac hypertrophy, collagen accumulation and diastolic dysfunction. These effects are partially mediated by cardiac activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. METHODS Male spontaneously hyper...

Nelson, Lawrence D., M. Tino Unlap, James L. Lewis, and P. Darwin Bell. Renal arteriolar Na1/Ca21 exchange in salt-sensitive hypertension. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Renal Physiol. 45): F567–F573, 1999.—The present studies were performed to assess Na1/Ca21 exchange activity in afferent and efferent arterioles from Dahl/Rapp salt-resistant (R) and salt-sensitive (S) rats. Renal arterioles were obtaine...

Compared with Dahl salt-resistant (R) rats, Dahl salt-sensitive (S) rats on a low salt diet have impaired cardiopulmonary baroreflex control of sympathetic nerve activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the sensitivity of cardiopulmonary baroreflex function in both strains of Dahl rats when they are challenged with a high salt diet. We studied Dahl R and S rats after 6 weeks of low an...
