I. Black-hooded weanling rats were given a copper-deficient diet or diets providing 3 ppm Cu with or without supplements containing combinations of molybdate, sulphate and sulphide salts to provide 35 ppm molybdenum and z pg atoms sulphurlg. Changes in weight and blood haemoglobin concentration were studied during 48 d of treatment. The subcellular distribution of Cu and Mo in the liver was sub...

Three experiments were conducted to study Cu sulfate and tribasic Cu chloride (TBCC) as sources of supplemental Cu for poultry. In Experiment 1, 252 chicks were fed the basal corn-soybean meal diet (26 ppm Cu) supplemented with either 0, 150, 300, or 450 ppm Cu from Cu sulfate or TBCC for 21 d. Chicks fed 450 ppm Cu from sulfate had lower (P < 0.05) feed intake than those consuming other diets....

we studied cu concentration on part of aras riparian vegetation. cu was selected as an index metal due to polluting the aras river through agarak copper mines drainage. results of cu concentration in indicator plant have been examined using spss16. considering the situation of the copper mines as well as the habitat of the indicator plant, two stations before and after the exit of the industria...

The concentration of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in the muscle tissue of marine fishes like Lates calcarifer, Nemipterus japonicus, Caranx melampygus, Rastrelliger kanagurta, and Cyanoglossus macrostomus was estimated from samples collected in the continental shelf waters off Kochi and Mangalore on southwest coast of India. Species-specific and spatially heterogeneous patterns of tissue meta...

Ground water pollution causes adverse damage to soil, plants, human and animals at the same time spreads serious diseases. Ground water pollution can also cause biochemical effects such as inhibition of enzymes, genetic damage, and hypertension etc due to higher concentration of trace metals in the ground water. The present investigation is directed towards analysis of major metal ion concentra...

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.), a member of Lamiaceae family, is an important medicinal plant that has many useful properties. Micronutrients are necessary in low dose for the growth and the development of plants. Present research was conducted to study the effects of micronutrients including manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) on morpho-physiological traits and essential oil of lemon balm. Fie...
