To this end, Study Group consisted a total 200 students, 108 female 92 male, were selected Convenient Sampling Method, at Gazi University Faculty Sport Sciences. When distribution exa...

A general empirical relationship has been developed for estimating the cloud point of pure nonionic surfactants of the alkyl ethoxylate class. For a set of 62 structures, composed of linear alkyl, branched alkyl, cyclic alkyl, and alkylphenyl ethoxylates, cloud points can be estimated to an accuracy of ±6.3°C (3.7°C median error) using the logarithm of the number of ethylene oxid...

due to the prolonged exposure (6 days). hG.H. secretion from another somatotrophic adenoma (data not shown) was inhibited 76-8±2-4% within 24 h by bromocriptine, remained inhibited for 2 days, and subsequently increased in three of four cultures in 24 h when bromocriptine was withdrawn. This change just failed to achieve statistical significance. Further reduction in exposure-time and do...

We aimed to investigate the role of cathepsin D, an inflammatory and atherosclerotic mediator, in endothelial dysfunction in chronic kidney disease. The study included 65 patients with stage 2–4 chronic kidney disease (35 females, 30 males; mean age, 55.8±15.6 years). Serum creatinine and cathepsin D levels and glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) were determined, and brachial flow-m...

The contribution of the pentose phosphate shunt to glucose metabolism in the swimbladder tissue of the American eel Anguilla rostrata has been evaluated by comparing the rate of 14CO2 and [14C]lactate production from [1-14C]glucose and [6-14C]glucose. In blood-perfused swimbladder preparations, 0.18±0.07 nmol min-1 of [6-14C]glucose and 3.19±0.57 nmol min-1 of [1-14C]glucose were ...

PURPOSE A randomized clinical trial was designed to compare the efficacy, success rate and surgical complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (LP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients with renal pelvic stones larger than 2 cm were randomly divided into two groups of LP and PCNL. All patients were followed up to three months after surgery using renal...

The unique DNA packaging of spermatozoa renders them resistant to DNA isolation techniques used for somatic cells, requiring alternative methods that are slow and labor intensive. Here we present a rapid method for isolating high-quality sperm DNA. Isolated human sperm cells were homogenized with 0.2 mm steel beads for 5 min at room temperature in the presence of guanidine thiocyanate lysis buf...

Purified basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMVs) were prepared from Atlantic lobster (Homarus americanus) hepatopancreas using a Percoll density gradient technique. Enrichments of the Na+/K+-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase activities of these vesicles were 15.4- and 1.2-fold, respectively. The presence of amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ exchange was demonstrated. Contrary to electrogenic 2Na+/1H+ exch...
