This study was performed to investigate the protective and therapeutic effects of resveratrol (RES) against CdCl2-induced toxicity in rat testes. Seven experimental groups of adult male rats were formulated as follows: A) controls+NS, B) control+vehicle (saline solution of hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin), C) RES treated, D) CdCl2+NS, E) CdCl2+vehicle, F) RES followed by CdCl2 and M) CdCl2 followed ...

Simultaneous chemical and electrical conductivity studies have been done on the blood serum and sweat of five children with proven fibrocystic disease of the pancreas. The electrical conductivity tests were made by means of a modified Wheatstone bridge previously described (Bloxsom, 1959). These electrical conductivities in equivalent mEq./l. of sodium chloride, together with the chemical analy...

Mercuric chloride was introduced per Os in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) as the LD50 (9.26 mg/kg b.w.). The assessment of mercuric toxicity done both after acute (0.926 b.w.) and sub-acute (0.033 treatment, while Panax ginseng also (10 separately. treatment significantly increases mercury retention liver blood serum along with increase weight, alone caused significant decrease weight blood. I...

Cadmium is one among the most environmental pollutants that affects many organs like kidney, liver and testis. The present study was aimed to assess the simultaneous effects of black tea extracts (BTE) on cadmium chloride induced alterations in lipid profile and liver histology. Adult rats were divided into four groups (n=6/group), group I (normal saline), group II (CdCl2, 1.0 mg/kg, b.wt; i.p)...

A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFICULTY in estimating calcium in serum by photometry arises from the fact that the normal range is narrow relative to the concentration of calcium. In the cases of sodium and chloride which also possess narrow normal ranges, the automation problem has been approached in two different ways. For sodium the Technicon Flame Photometer incorporates an electrical range expander. In t...

BACKGROUND The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the relationship between the chloride content of intravenous resuscitation fluids and patient outcomes in the perioperative or intensive care setting. METHODS Systematic searches were performed of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library (CENTRAL) databases in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Randomized cl...

I t has previously been demonstrated that dietary potassium deficiency in animals is associated with low serum chloride and elevated serum bicarbonate concentration (1-5). In 1950 the present authors described a decrease of intracellular carbon dioxide in the skeletal muscle of potassium-deficient rats (6), an observation which has since been confirmed by others (7). The present communication p...

We used human serum protein fractions to evaluate the sensitivity and bias of three turbidimetric methods for determining concentrations of proteins. Each fraction (Cohn Fractions II, III, IV, and V) was assigned a protein concentration value that was determined by the biuret method, which we calibrated with purified monomer of human serum albumin. All three turbidimetric methods (those involvi...

Effect of Serum Chloride on Mortality in Hypertensive Patients To the Editor: I have read with interest the large and long follow-up study by McCallum et al1 concerning the risk of low serum chloride on the mortality in 12 968 patients with hypertension. They concluded that an increase of the serum chloride by 1 mEq/L was associated with a 1.5% reduction of the all-cause mortality, cardiovascul...
