A method for the speciation of zinc and copper binding with proteins in human serum was explored by chelating resin (Chelex-100) pre-treatment and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). It was shown by a SEC (size-exclusion chromatography)-ICP-MS system that albumin-zinc and albumin-copper (loosely-bound species) could be selectively removed from serum by adsorption on the Chele...

The effect of zinc phosphate (ZP) and zinc calcium phosphate (ZCP) coatings on the reinforcing mechanisms of smooth steel fiber in cementitious matrix have been studied. The results of pull out tests illustrated that by coating smooth steel fiber the pull-out load may be increased up to 100%. The effect of zinc phosphate coating on interface bonding was more than zinc-calcium phosphate coating....

in order to investigate the effects of on-farm seed priming and sowing dates on seedling emergence, yield and yield components of a local genotype bean called pach baghala-red strain (phaseolous vulgaris l.) as a double crop after rice, an experiment carried out in the rice research institute of rasht. experimental design was laid out in a split plot based on a randomized complete block with th...

Background & Aims of the Study: The objective of this study was to investigate the seed pre-treatment with salicylic acid (SA) on tolerance and remediation ability of Brassica oleracea var. acephala under lead and zinc stresses. Materials and Methods: Present study was conducted to evaluate phyto-accumulative ability of Brassica oleracea var. acephala in heavy metal concentrat...

BACKGROUND Several micronutrients are essential for adequate growth of children. However, little information is available on multiple micronutrient status of school children in Ethiopia. The present study was designed to evaluate the relationship between multiple micronutrient levels and nutritional status among school children. METHOD In this cross-sectional study, anthropometric data, blood...

The aim of this study was introduction of occupational toxins with neurological effects and inflammatory effects specially. It is a review article. Researcher found the important data about the occupational toxins for nervous systems. Author searched in related journals, ...

The influence of zinc status on p21 gene expression was examined in human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells. Cells were cultured for one passage in a basal medium depleted of zinc to induce severely zinc-deficient (ZD) cells or in basal medium supplemented with 0.4, 4.0, 16, or 32 microM zinc to represent mild zinc deficiency (ZD0.4), the amount of zinc in most normal media (ZN), the normal human pl...
