A series of racemic 2-[(2′-(dimethylamino)binaphthyl-2-ylimino)methyl]-4-R2-6-R(1)-phenols (L1H–L6H) were reacted with 1 equiv. of Mg[N(SiMe3)2]2 or Zn[N(SiMe3)2]2 to provide three heteroleptic magnesium silylamido complexes [(L4–(6))MgN(SiMe3)2] (4a: R(1) = R(2) = cumyl; 5a: R(1) = CPh3, R(2) = Me; 6a: R(1) = CPh3, R(2) = (t)Bu) and one heteroleptic zinc silylamido complex [(L(4))ZnN(SiMe3)2] ...

BACKGROUND Several micronutrients are essential for adequate growth of children. However, little information is available on multiple micronutrient status of school children in Ethiopia. The present study was designed to evaluate the relationship between multiple micronutrient levels and nutritional status among school children. METHOD In this cross-sectional study, anthropometric data, blood...

Difference in osteoclast responses (i.e., apoptosis, actin ring formation) to tricalcium phosphate (TCP) in culture medium supplemented with zinc and to zinc-containing tricalcium phosphate (ZnTCP) was investigated in this study. On the TCP ceramic, an increase in zinc ion in the culture medium within the range between 0.3 and 6.8 ppm significantly induced an increase in osteoclast apoptosis an...

Tightly bound magnesium was found in soluble, purified ATPase (F,) from beef heart mitochondria in the amount of 1 mol/mol of F1. Iron, zinc, cobalt, manganese, calcium, sodium, copper, and potassium were not tightly bound at stoichiometric levels. Removal of magnesium by chelating agents caused loss of ATPase activity. Removal of tightly bound nucleotide by gel filtration in 50% glycerolor 60 ...

The present study is designed to investigate whether magnesium (Mg) supplementation may prevent Cd-induced alterations in zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and magnesium (Mg) status in rabbits. For this purpose, the concentrations of Zn, Cu, and Mg were estimated in blood, urine, and organs (brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, skeletal muscle, and bone) of rabbits given Cd (10 mg/kg b.w...

Introduction: Diabetes is a common metabolic disease during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is the most prevalent disorder that accompanies gestational diabetes. Recent studies have demonstrated the role of micronutrients in diabetic women with preeclampsia. The present study aimed to compare the levels of micronutrients in the women with gestational and hypertensive diabetes with and without preeclamp...

Influence of lysine and zinc administration on lead-sensitive biochemical parameters and the accumulation of lead during exposure to lead were investigated in rats. The lead exposure inhibited blood δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydrogenase (δ-ALAD) activity, increased blood zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP), urinary δ-aminolevulinic acid (δ-ALA), serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase (AST), serum pyruvic...
