Key points Iron acts as a cofactor in the stabilization of hypoxic-inducible factor family, and plays an influential role modulation hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. It is uncertain whether iron regulation altered lowlanders during either (1) ascent to high altitude, or (2) following partial acclimatization, when compared high-altitude adapted Sherpa. During 5050 m, rise artery systolic pres...

The search for methods to increase the meat content of pigs is currently paramount importance. assessment and fat qualities purebred Precocious Meat breed Large White breed, as well their crossbreeds with each other specialized breeds Landrace Black at slaughter a live weight 100 kg 120 was carried out.

Five young adult Rhesus monkeys were included in this study. The weight of the animals ranged from 3.4 to 4.0 kg, with a mean of 3.6 kg. Each animal was restrained and anesthetized with ketamine HC1 at 25 mg/kg IM. An intravenous fluid of 5% dextrose and water with 1/4 normal saline was initiated and profused at a maintenance rate. Each monkey received intranasal midazolam (VersedTM, Roche Phar...

As popular aluminum alloys, the 5xxx Al-Mg series, such as 5050 and 5052, etc., are widely used in applications such as automobile, pressure vessels, armor plate, and components for marine and cryogenic service. In this, as in all non-heat-treatable aluminum alloys, the weld metal zone is considered to be the weakest part of the joint and is the location of failure when the joint is loaded in t...
