in order to study the effect of vermicompost containing copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles on was beans, in an experiment factorial were done based on a randomized complete block design in three replications. the experiment treatment were as follows: nanoparticles in 4 levels (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g/kg weight of substrate), vermicompost in 3 levels (2.5, 5 and 7.5 g/kg-1 weight of substra...

background: industrial copper ingest is a common form of poisoning in animals. zinc has an important role in the physiology of spermatozoa, in sperm production and viability. objective: this study was set to investigate whether the adverse effects of long term copper consumption on quality of rat spermatozoa could be prevented by zinc therapy. materials and methods: forty eight mature (6-8 week...

backgroundmany studies reported that copper, zinc and magnesium play important roles in the pathogenesis and development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. exchange transfusion and intensive phototherapy are known two modalities of therapy for severe neonatal hyper bilirubinemia, but the effect of them on those trace elements is unknown.materials and methodscopper, zinc and magnesium serum levels ...

SUMMARY The purpose of this study is to compare the level of zinc, copper and the ratio of zinc to copper in serum of patients who are suffering from acute myocardial infarction with healthy men. In 10 ml blood samples from 45 men on the second day of myocardial infarction and 51 healthy men volunteers matched for age, serum zinc, copper, cholesterol and triglycerides were measured. Zinc and c...

to evaluate the impact of the application of thehran municipal solid waste compost (mswc) on zinc and copper concentrations in the soil under maize (zea mays. l.) cultivation, a factorial experiment in base randomized complete block design (rcbd) with two different amounts of municipal solid waste compost (zero, 30.15 and 60 t ha-1) and time (compost applied once or twice) was performed with th...

giardia lamblia is one of the most important intestinal parasites. the aim of this study was to measure serum levels of iga, ige, zinc, copper, vitamin b12 and folate in individuals with giardiasis in comparison to normal subjects.the study was carried out among 49 giardia positive and 39 age and sex matched healthy volunteers. examination of stool samples was done by direct wet smear and formo...

background: pre-eclampsia along with its complications seems to be one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. despite numerous studies, the etiology of pre-eclampsia has not yet been fully elucidated. according to recent studies changes in the level of blood trace elements can be an adverse event in human and animal pregnancy. the present study determines whether maternal seru...

The low-grade rock phosphate of Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh (India), was investigated for its possible application in the removal of lead, copper, zinc and cobalt ions from aqueous solutions. Effects of contact time, amount of adsorbent and initial concentration of metal ions were studied. Adsorption of heavy metal ions was found to follow the order: Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Co2+. The probable mechanism...
