OBJECTIVES To explore the effect of interaction between ACE genotype and salt intake on hypertension among Chinese Kazakhs, and to compare applications of interactions between logistic model and generalised partially linear tree-based regression (GPLTR) model. DESIGN Population-based cross-sectional study. SETTING Hong Dun, North Xinjiang, China. PARTICIPANTS Non-consanguineous Chinese Ka...

Nitrooleic acid (OA-NO2) is endogenous ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors. The present study was aimed at investigating the beneficial effects of OA-NO2 on the lipid metabolism and liver steatosis in deoxycorticosterone acetate- (DOCA-) salt induced hypertensive mice model. Male C57BL/6 mice were divided to receive DOCA-salt plus OA-NO2 or DOCA-salt plus vehicle and another...

Sensory properties of food play an important role in satiation. Studies on the effect of taste intensity on satiation show conflicting results. This may be due to the notion that in these studies taste intensity and palatability were confounded. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of salt intensity of tomato soup on ad libitum intake (satiation), while controlling for pala...

the effect of salinity was assessed on the activity of some major antioxidant enzymes i.e., superoxide dismutase (sod), peroxidase (pod), catalase (cat), in the seedlings’ roots or shoots of three winter canola (brassica napus l.) cultivars, colvert (tolerant), symbol (semi tolerant) and agat (susceptible). seedlings were treated with 0 (control), 50, 100 and 150 mm nacl for 24 h in hydropoic c...

Heightened sensitivity of the diabetic proximal tubule to dietary salt leads to a paradoxical effect of salt on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) via tubuloglomerular feedback. Diabetic hyperfiltration is a feedback response to growth and hyperreabsorption by the proximal tubule. The present studies were performed to determine whether growth and hyperfunction of the proximal tubule are essential...

To investigate the effect of calcium salts on the thermodynamic and transport properties of aqueous solutions of proteins, we report ternary diffusion coefficients for the lysozyme-CaCl2-water ternary system at 25 degrees C and pH 4.5. We have used our ternary diffusion coefficients to calculate preferential-interaction coefficients as a function of salt concentration. This has allowed us to ch...

BACKGROUND The detrimental effects of high dietary salt intake may not only involve effects on blood pressure and organ hypertrophy but also lead to tissue fibrosis independently of these factors. METHODS AND RESULTS The effect of a normal (1%) or high (8%) sodium chloride diet on myocardial and renal fibrosis was assessed by quantitative histomorphometry in spontaneously hypertensive rats (S...

The influence of exogenous ascorbic acid (0.5 mM) in counteracting NaCl-induced cellular alteration of onion bulb inner epidermis was investigated. Plasma membrane permeability, protoplasm swelling and cell viability were measured under the effect of 150 mM NaCl in presence and absence of ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid was added simultaneously with salt or before salt treatment. Salt stress at 15...

Ameliorative effect of exogenously applied glycinebetaine (GB) on photosynthetic capacity of two wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance grown under salt stress was assessed. Plants were grown under field conditions at 2.84, 15 dS/m in split-split plot design. Different levels of GB (no spray NS, 0.1% Tween 20 solution, 50 and 100 mM GB in 0.1% Tween 20 solution) were exogenously applied as...

in order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of shiraz university. results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...
