background: zinc is an essential trace element required for the functional activity of several enzyme systems. several studies have been carried out to assess the effect of zinc supplementation on children’s growth, but controversy exists as to the effect of zinc on growth and gh-igf-i system. objective:  the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of zinc supplementation on linear growth ...

drought resistance is a very important characteristic needed for plant survival especially at germination stage, in arid and semi-arid lands. phosphatase enzymes are widely found in plants. these enzymes are responsible for dephosphorylation of organic phosphate and altering it to mineral phosphate. germination experiments were conducted in two bread wheat cultivars (sardari and alvand) under s...

The aim of the study was to assess whether an extra fertilization with manganese, commercial fertilizer Alkalin (N, K and Si), and combined treatment (manganese + Alkalin) affect the chemical composition of chokeberry fruits (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx) Elliot), especially sugar content and the quantity and profile of phenolics. Dry weight, soluble solids, titratable acidity, total sugar, reduci...

We present a case of analytical interference on three parameters (lactate dehydrogenase, uric acid and alkalin phosphatase), caused by a monoclonal IgM, evidenced in a patient with Waldenström disease. Mechanism of interference was probably related to the formation of complexes between paraprotein and lithium heparin, which result in precipitation during clinical chemistry assays, inducing a bi...

effects of gibberellic acid (ga) and abscisic acid (aba) on dormant and after-ripened wheat seed, cultivar rl4137, were studied. the aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of seed after-ripening in comparison with gibberellin application on breaking of seed dormancy. moreover, the effect of abscisic acid on dormancy induction was also evaluated. acid and alkaline posphatase activity of se...

soil enzyme activities can be used as indicators of soil quality for assessing the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of barley residue input rate, burning, urea fertilizer and tillage management on activities of alkaline phosphatase and urease under field conditions, after a period of 90 days. the experiment was carried out based...

The acute and sub-acute toxicity of safranal were studied in rat and mice within 2 and 21 days after exposure, respectively. For subacute toxicity, changes in weight as well as biochemical, hematological and pathological parameters were studied. The intraperitoneal LD50 values of safranal were 1.48 mL/kg in male mice, 1.88 mL/kg in female mice and 1.50 mL/kg in male rats. Oral LD50 values were ...
