abstract background: athletes’ recovery is important in improving their performance. nutritional strategies can be effective in enhancing recovery rate. choosing the best food items in appropriate intervals can play effective roles in resynthesis of fuels and recovery of muscle injury. beverage micro and macronutrient content are helpful in fuel restoration. in this study, we assess the effects...

Understanding Zn uptake dynamics is critical to rice grain Zn biofortification. Here we examined soil Zn availability and Zn uptake pathways as affected by genotype (high-grain Zn varieties IR69428 and IR68144), Zn fertilization and water management in two pot experiments. Results showed significant interactions (P < 0.05) between genotypes and Zn fertilization on DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaa...

The quality of edible seeds for human and animal nutrition is crucially dependent on high zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) seed concentrations. The micronutrient bioavailability is strongly reduced by seed phytate that forms complexes with seed cations. Superior genotypes with increased seed Zn concentrations had been identified, but low micronutrient seed levels often prevail when the plants are grown ...

Organic matter plays a key role in availability and transformation of soil Zn (zinc), which greatly controls Zn concentrations in cereal grains and human Zn nutrition level. Accordingly, soils homogenized with the wheat straw (0, 12 g straw kg-1) and Zn fertilizer (0, 7 mg Zn kg-1) were buried and incubated in the field over 210 days to explore the response of soil Zn availability and the agein...

Biomaterials with high osteogenic activity are desirable for sufficient healing of bone defects resulting from trauma, tumor, infection, and congenital abnormalities. Synthetic materials mimicking the structure and composition of human trabecular bone are of considerable potential in bone augmentation. In the present study, a zinc (Zn)-doped mesoporous hydroxyapatite microspheres (Zn-MHMs)/coll...

The present study is the seventh year of a longitudinal observation of vowel production in Mandarin-learning children. Major findings in the seventh year are: 1) Unlike the trend of decrease in formant values in the previous stages, decrease in F1 F2 values was not evident at this stage in the boy subject. Up to 7 years of age, no obvious change in formant values was found in the girl subject. ...

evaluation of surface water quality is a complex process undertakingmultiple parameters. converting great amount of parameters into a simpler expressionand enabling easy interpretation of data are the main purposes of water quality indices.the main aim of this study is to plan effective water resources management system forkarun river by combination of ccmewqi and geographic information system ...

When Azotobacter vinelandii was grown in the presence of low levels of iron, the addition of 20 or 40 muM ZnSO(4) caused earlier production of the catechol siderophores and a dramatic increase in the amount of azotobactin. The level of cellular iron was not significantly lowered in Zn -grown cells, which suggested that Zn was not causing more severe, or earlier, iron limitation. Also, Zn did no...

Zinc (Zn) is an important nutrient that is involved in various physiological metabolisms. Zn dyshomeostasis is often associated with various pathogeneses of chronic diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and related complications. Zn is present in ocular tissue in high concentrations, particularly in the retina and choroid. Zn deficiencies have been shown to affect ocular development, ...
