Dietary sulphate may affect colonic pathophysiology because sulphate availability determines in part the activity of sulphate reducing bacteria in the bowel. The main product of sulphate reducing bacterial oxidative metabolism, hydrogen sulphide, is potentially toxic. Although it is generally believed that the sulphate ion is poorly absorbed, there are no available data on how much sulphate rea...

The literature contains numerous references to the formation of insoluble complexes when polysulphate and poly(carboxylic acid) macromolecules are added to various plasma and serum colloids. Chondroitin sulphate, for instance, precipitates complexes containing protein and cholesterol (Badin & Schubert, 1955; Kerby, Taylor & Langley, 1961). Heparin forms insoluble complexes with fibrinogen (Smit...

Methanogens and sulphate reducing bacteria compete for H2 in the human colon, and, as a result, faeces usually contain high concentrations of just one of these two organisms. There is controversy over which of these organisms wins the competition for H2, although theoretical data suggest that sulphate reducing bacteria should predominate. To elucidate this question experiments were undertaken i...

The isolation of uronic acid-containing glycosaminoglycans from peripheral nerve and spinal cord of monkey was done by combining the cetyl pyridinium procedure and DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography. The constituent analyses of the isolated GAG-fractions indicated that hyaluronic acid, chondroitin-4-sulphate, chondroi tin-6sulphate, heparan sulphate and a testicular hyaluronidase-resistant gal...

conclusions the addition of 50 mg of magnesium sulfate to a bupivacaine–fentanyl solution for intrathecal anesthesia improved the efficacy and duration of the analgesia without any significant side effects. the addition of 150 µg of neostigmine increased the incidence of hypotension, bradycardia, and nausea and vomiting. moreover, neostigmine failed to prolong analgesia duration. results group ...

1. The preparation, purification, chemical and spectral properties of potassium 4-methylumbelliferone sulphate are described. 2. The use of 4-methylumbelliferone sulphate as a substrate for the arylsulphatase of Patella vulgata is presented with specific reference to the fluorimetric assay procedure used with this substrate. 3. 4-Methylumbelliferone sulphate is compared with the previously used...

The color of dye aqueous solution which cannot be removed by coagulation was selected to decolourize it through adsorption process using novel adsorbents namely Flocs Ferric Sulphate, Aluminium sulphate and Manganese sulphate. In order know efficacy adsorbents, batch sorption studies equilibrium were conducted. Good removal achieved with at pH::4 Sulphate pH::10, will applicable reduce the indu...

Hydrogen produced during colonic fermentation may be excreted, or removed by H2 consuming bacteria such as methanogenic and sulphate reducing bacteria. In vitro, sulphate reducing bacteria compete with methanogenic bacteria for hydrogen when sulphate is present. In this study the hypothesis that sulphate in the diet could alter CH4 production in vivo has been tested. Six methane excreting volun...
