holy basil (ocimum sanctum) is one of the important medicinal plant belongs to lamiaceae family. in order to evaluate the effect of foliar application of iron on iron and chlorophyll contents and photosynthetic parameters of holy basil, an experiment was conducted at research farm of department of horticultural science, shahid chamran university of ahvaz based on randomized complete block desig...

iron is an essential nutrients in rice. accurate assessment of this element in paddy soils is very important. improving fertility management, accurate interpolation, being aware of spatial variability and patterns of distribution of micronutrients are the most important factors in soil management and accurate consumption of fertilizers. this study was done for investigating of available iron, d...

Iron oxide is an important biological agent that has a key role in medical processes; however, the mechanism whereby it provides iron for human and animal cells and its biological uses remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effects of oral iron oxide on serum iron status and compare the results with those of iron sulfate as a reference salt. Fifteen adult rabbits were divided into 3 groups o...

background: iron is an essential trace element in cell proliferation. several investigations demonstrate that iron deprivation inhibits cell proliferation. however, the impact of iron on telomerase activity of activated lymphocytes remains unexplained to date. objective: in this study, the effect of iron on the proliferation and telomerase activity of lymphocytes stimulated by phytohemagglutini...

although, iron depletion is a common disorder among athletes, little data exist regarding the effect of gymnastic training on iron status. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gymnastic exercise on body iron status and hematologic profile. the present investigation involved 35 male gymnasts aged from 6 to14 yrs. serum ferritin level, total iron binding capacity (tibc), iron...

trichuriasis is an intestinal parasitic disease which is caused by trichuris trichiura, a soil transmitted helminth. in order to evaluate the iron status of trichuriasis in patients a total of 120 (49 males and 71 females) cases with trichuris trichiura as well as 54 healthy individuals were evaluated. blood samples were analyzed for serum iron, transferrin saturation percent, haemoglobin and o...

325 female students of zahedan at the average age of 16.2 years old (16-22) were randomly selected to study the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia. hb, hematocrit, mcv, mchc, iron, tibc and ferritin were measured. results showed that in the population studied 3.4%, 27.7%, 4.3%, 11.7%, 25.5%, 11.4% had their hb, mcv, serum iron, tranferrin saturation, ferritin respectively below the who standa...

Background: Iron overload can cause many complications and damage many organs as well as physiologic functions. Consumption of phetochemicals and flavonoids with iron chelating ability, instead of synthetic iron chelators, can be less harmful and more effective. The aim of this review is to investigate hydrophilic phytochelators in iron overload condition. Methods: In this review, the possible ...

abstract fluorescens pseudomonads can suppress soil-borne plant pathogens by employing several mechanisms such as competition for iron by means of siderophores. three indigenous strains pseudomonas fluorescens (utpf5, utpf61 and utpf76), pseudomonas aeruginosa 7nsk2 and its pyoverdin mutant, mpfm1, were used for investigation the effect of iron competition on bean damping-off suppression. the r...
