this study was conducted to characterize the reactivity of carbonates in the surface horizons of 20 soils (entisols and aridisols) from central region of iran. the samples were analyzed for calcium carbonate equivalent (cce), active calcium carbonate equivalent (acce), non-active calcium carbonate equivalent (n.acce), carbonate mineralogy and surface area of carbonates (ssa) through n2 adsorpti...

information about forms of phosphorus (p) is important for the evaluation of p status in soil and also understanding of the soil fertility and plant nutrition. to obtain such information and to determine the relationship between the p forms from soil characteristics, amount of different organic and inorganic p forms of 20 soil composite samples of eastern azerbaijan province, iran were determin...

The effect of dietary calcium chloride vs. calcium carbonate on mineral metabolism was studied in cats. Ovariectomized cats and female kittens were fed purified diets with a normal calcium level (9.5 mmol Ca/MJ) but containing either calcium carbonate or calcium chloride, or were fed diets with a high calcium level (17.7 mmol Ca/MJ) containing either calcium carbonate alone or equimolar amounts...

All commercially available integrase inhibitors are 2-metal binders and may be affected by co-administration with metal cations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium and iron supplements on dolutegravir pharmacokinetics and strategies (dose separation and food) to attenuate the effects if significant reductions in dolutegravir exposure were observed. This was an open-...

Oral calcium carbonate (0-5 g, pH 9-4) increased serum gastrin and gastric acid output with slight but insignificant change in serum calcium. A similar rise in serum calcium during an intravenous infusion of calcium gluconate failed to increase serum gastrin and gastric acid output. Both intragastric calcium actions were abolished by acidification of the calcium carbonate solution (pH 1-0). The...

Our previous research has demonstrated that dissolved organic matter (DOM) influences calcium carbonate mineral formation in surface and ground water. To better understand DOM mediation of carbonate precipitation and DOM co-precipitation and/or incorporation with carbonate minerals, we characterized the content and speciation of DOM in carbonate minerals and in the lake water of Pyramid Lake, N...

BACKGROUND We recently determined that in hemodialysis patients, the use of calcium salts to correct hyperphosphatemia led to progressive coronary artery and aortic calcification as determined by sequential electron beam tomography (EBT) while the use of the non-calcium-containing binder sevelamer did not. Whether the specific calcium preparation (acetate vs. carbonate) might influence the like...

This study was conducted to compare ileal digestibility of calcium, dry matter and ash, growth performance, gut characteristics, bone parameters and retention of calcium in broiler chickens fed diets containing different calcium sources. A total of 96 commercial Ross 308 broiler chickens were allocated to three experimental diets. The experimental diets included a diet containing inorganic calc...
