We investigated the effect of converting enzyme inhibition (CEI) on the relationship between renal perfusion pressure (RPP) and steady-state plasma renin activity (PRA) in uninephrectomized conscious dogs on normal-salt (80 meq Na+/day) and low-salt (10 meq Na+/day) diets. Stimulus-response curves for the renal baroreceptor were determined by measuring the steady-state PRA while the RPP was low...

Baked goods are among the most important sources of human food. They may suffer from a limited shelf life due to use of low-quality wheat. However, there are a number of novel dough preparation methods that can improve bread quality. The current study analyzed the effect of the yeast-salt method on the physicochemical and rheological properties of toast dough and bread. Baker’s yeast was used a...

the germination characteristics and seedling growth of 25 rapeseed cultivars under six levels of salt (naci) stresses including 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 ds/m were studied. the germination percentage of the rapeseed cultivars did not decrease significantly with increasing salt levels up to 12 ds/m. however, the required time for germination increased with increasing the salt percentage in the growt...
