Triglyceride: the forgotten risk factor.

The relation of serum TG concentrations and risk for CHD has been an issue of great interest and controversy. Unlike analyses with LDL-C and HDL-C, for which very strong and consistent relations with CHD risk have been demonstrated in observational and interventional studies, those with TG are ambiguous. Thus, TG represents a clinical conundrum: should it be measured, what does it mean, and sho...

Response of Two Indica Rice Varieties to Salt Stress

  Salinity is one of the most challenging problems that adversely affects growth and development of plants. Therefore, understanding of the mechanisms that enable plants to adapt to salinity stress will ultimately help in the selection of stress tolerant cultivars for exploiting saline soils. The main objective of this study was to examine the effects of NaCl on some physiological and biochemic...

THE RESPONSE OF FOLIAR PROTEINS IN TWO WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM) CULTIVARS TO SALT STRESS

Effect of various NaCl treatments (0, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swellen, flowering and anthesis) in two wheat cultivars (Ghods: salt – sensitive, Boolani: salt – resistant) on SDS-PAGE electrophoretic pattern of leaf proteins was studied under greenhouse conditions. Generally, in response to salinity treatments, the decrease in protein...
