It is well known that Glucagon (Gl) is released after a high protein diet and participates in water excretion by the kidney, principally after a protein meal. To study this effect in in vitro perfused inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD), the osmotic water permeability (Pf; mum/s) at 37 degrees C and pH 7.4 in normal rat IMCDs (n = 36) perfused with Ringer/HCO(3) was determined. Gl (10(-7) M...

‎the global generalized minimum residual (gl-gmres)‎ ‎method is examined for solving the generalized sylvester matrix equation‎ ‎[sumlimits_{i = 1}^q {a_i } xb_i = c.]‎ ‎some new theoretical results are elaborated for‎ ‎the proposed method by employing the schur complement‎. ‎these results can be exploited to establish new convergence properties‎ ‎of the gl-gmres method for solving genera...

OBJECTIVES Ganoderma lucidum (GL) is one of the most commonly used Chinese herbs in the oriental community, with more than 30% of pediatric cancer patients taking GL. The immunomodulating and anticancer effects exerted by GL extracts have been demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies. There was, however, no comparison between the immunomodulating effects of GL mycelium extract (GL-M) and sp...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpesvirus that infects cells by fusing its lipid envelope with the target cell membrane. The fusion process requires the actions of viral glycoproteins gH, gL, and gB for entry into epithelial cells and additionally requires gp42 for entry into B cells. To further study the roles of these membrane-associated glycoproteins, purified soluble forms of gp42, gH, and ...

the main objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters for multi-trait evaluation of birth weight (bw), gestation length (gl) and calving difficulty (cd) in first-parity iranian holstein dairy cattle. the data included 29,950 calving records collected during 1995 to 2014 by the animal breeding and improvement center of iran. a threshold-linear sire-maternal grandsire model was ...

In this paper‎, ‎we study convergence behavior of the global FOM (Gl-FOM) and global GMRES (Gl-GMRES) methods for solving the matrix equation $AXB=C$ where $A$ and $B$ are symmetric positive definite (SPD)‎. ‎We present some new theoretical results of these methods such as computable exact expressions and upper bounds for the norm of the error and residual‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎the obtained upper...
