OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of intravesical administration of liposomes (LPs) on chemically induced bladder hyperactivity in the rat. It has been suggested that interstitial cystitis (IC) is associated with a dysfunctional or leaky epithelium. Thus, enhancement of epithelial barrier function might be useful in the treatment of IC. LPs are vesicles that are concentric phospholipid bilayers ...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate potassium and chloride accumulation in, the yield quality potato tubers Asterix cultivar, under application two fertilizer sources (KCl K2SO4.2MgSO4) their combinations. experimental design a randomized complete block with five treatments four replications in factorial scheme subdivided plot. presence greater than 61.8% recommended dose ferti...

BACKGROUND Normal ionic perfusate containing butanedione monoxime (BDM), a reversible myofilament inhibitor, could be better than either a high potassium (KCl) or a low calcium (CaCl2) perfusate for long-term cardiac preservation. This hypothesis was tested in 70 isolated guinea pig hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS Three groups--time control (8 hours, 37 degrees C), cold control (22 hours, 3.8 deg...

Abstract OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the efficacy of potassium chloride (KCl) for low-residue euthanasia anesthetized pinnipeds in field settings which carcass retrieval disposal is not feasible. ANIMALS Stranded, free-ranging California sea lions (CSLs; Zalophus californianus ; n = 17) and northern elephant seals (NESs; Mirounga angustirostris 6) with life-threatening injury or disease between Ma...

Insects are commonly utilized in biomedical research and have become increasingly popular museum collections as pets. Despite this, objective evaluation of insect euthanasia is scarce. This study investigated the effectiveness targeted injections ivermectin or potassium chloride (KCl) for anesthetized thorny devil stick insects (Eurycantha calcarata). Ten clinically healthy mature (six males, f...

prangos ferulacea is a plant found in the mediterranean and middle-east regions used as carminative, anti-flatulent, emollient and antibacterial herb. it is believed that the coumarins are responsible for some of known effects of  prangos . in this research the relaxant effects of p. ferulacea coumrin rich extract as well as osthole as its main prenylated coumarins were investigated on rat ileu...
