Human toxicity High NaCl intake without corresponding intake of water can lead to hypernatremia: the ratio of sodium to water exceeds normal, and both the plasma sodium concentration and the total body sodium increase. Consequently, the balance of extracellular and intracellular osmolality is disturbed, which can result in several clinical symptoms, like excessive thirst, weakness, headache, ir...

In this study the effect of responses of Catharanthus roseus to NaCl stress has been explored. Periwinkle plants were exposed to different concentrations of salt and the effect of treatment on germination, growth parameter and antioxidative defense system investigated. Seeds were presoaked in solutions with different salinity after sterilization. Experimental samples irrigated once every two da...

In spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), high NaCl diets increase arterial pressure and sympathetic nervous system activity by decreasing noradrenaline release in the anterior hypothalamic area (AHA), thereby reducing the activation of sympathoinhibitory neurons in AHA. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) can inhibit the release of noradrenaline, and ANP concentration is elevated in the AHA of SH...

Present study deals with the hampering of the growth of histamine producing bacteria (HPB), by using NaCl and spices which are easily available and cheaper cost wise. For this experiment, four strains of HPB viz. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis were tested against 1 to 10% concentrations of NaCl and 1 to 5% concentrations of natural preserv...

The performance of a nanofiltration membrane for the removal of the nickel ion was studied as a function of the nickel concentration, solution pH, and the background ionic strength of the solution. Nanofiltration is investigated as a means to determine to what extent the nickel ions could be removed from acid mine drainage; thus the effect of solution chemistry on nanofiltration performance is ...

Fang, Zhiwu, Scott H. Carlson, Ning Peng, and J. Michael Wyss. Circadian rhythm of plasma sodium is disrupted in spontaneously hypertensive rats fed a high-NaCl diet. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 278: R1490–R1495, 2000.—High-NaCl diets elevate arterial pressure in NaCl-sensitive individuals, and increases in plasma sodium may trigger this effect. The present study tests the ...

Synthesis of a nanoporous alumina membrane (NPAM) by the two-step anodization method and its morphological and chemical surface characterization by analyzing Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrographs and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) spectra is reported. Influence of electrical and diffusive effects on the NaCl transport across the membrane nanopores is determined from salt diffus...

selection and use of tolerant grapevine as rootstock or own-rooted vines and finding indexes for screening of resistant genotypes have especial importance. to identify the salt tolerant grapevine genotypes, effects of nacl concentrations (0, 50, 100 and 150 mm) on root length, root and shoot dry weight, prolin, total soluble solid, rwc, level of salt injury, leaf concentration of k, na, cl and ...

1. Propranolol, a beta-blocker, inhibited or stimulated ryanodine binding to both the membrane-bound and purified ryanodine receptor (RyR) depending on the assay conditions. At high NaCl concentrations, propranolol increased the number of ryanodine-binding sites (Bmax) with no effect on the binding affinity. In the presence of 0.2 M NaCl, ryanodine binding was inhibited by propranolol. Half-max...
