abstract zinc (zn) is an essential plant nutrient. knowledge about distribution of zn between its different chemical forms is useful in understanding the chemistry of this element in soil and also in development of soil testing procedures. the present study was conducted to obtain such information about distribution of zinc forms in 20 soil samples of lorestan province by the use of a sequentia...

In this study, waste olive cake (OC) was utilized as the raw material for the production of biosorbents by chemical treatment and its adsorption capacity for zinc ion was evaluated. Tests were conducted with the total biomass (T) and with the fraction > 2.00 mm (P), in order to determinate the influence of this fractionation step on subsequent treatments. Two chemical agents were used: sulfuric...

Previous studies of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae indicated that the vacuole is a major site of zinc storage in the cell. However, these studies did not address the absolute level of zinc that was stored in the vacuole nor did they examine the abundances of stored zinc in other compartments of the cell. In this report, we describe an analysis of the cellular distribution of zinc by use of ...

background: to investigate the effect of zinc sulphate for prophylaxis of radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer. materials and methods: in the department of radiation oncology, ankara numune education and research hospital, 40 patients with head and neck cancer were selected randomly to receive either zinco-c 25 mg, four tablets daily or control group who did no...

The lumenal ionic content of an organelle is determined by its complement of channels and transporters. These proteins reach their resident organelles by adaptor-dependent mechanisms. This concept is illustrated in AP-3 deficiencies, in which synaptic vesicle zinc is depleted because the synaptic-vesicle-specific zinc transporter 3 does not reach synaptic vesicles. However, whether zinc transpo...
