All cells require inorganic sulfate for normal function. Sulfate is among the most important macronutrients in cells and is the fourth most abundant anion in human plasma (300 microM). Sulfate is the major sulfur source in many organisms, and because it is a hydrophilic anion that cannot passively cross the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, all cells require a mechanism for sulfate influx and ef...

In chronic kidney disease patients, oxidative stress is generally associated with disease progression and pathogenesis of its comorbidities. Phenyl sulfate is a protein-bound uremic solute, which accumulates in chronic kidney disease patients, but little is known about its nature. Although many reports revealed that protein-bound uremic solutes induce reactive oxygen species production, the eff...

the study was designed to evaluate the impact of rhizobium bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi and iron sulfate was performed on chickpea plants. treatments rhizobium bacteria (inoculated and non-inoculated), mycorrhizal fungi (glomus mosseae, glomus intraradices and non-inoculated) and various amounts of iron sulfate fertilizer (0, 40 and 80 kg per hectare) with a factorial experiment in a randomiz...

The article demonstrates a method for the adaptation of denitrifying woodchip bioreactors removal sulfate as well. Sulfate is removed by reduction and subsequent iron sulfide precipitation.

Three antibodies reacting with corneal keratan sulfate proteoglycan were used to detect antigenically related molecules in 11 bovine and 13 embryonic chick tissues. Two monoclonal antibodies recognized sulfated epitopes on the keratan sulfate chain and a polyclonal antibody bound antigenic sites on the core protein of corneal keratan sulfate proteoglycan. Competitive immunoassay detected core p...

A panel of four separate monoclonal antibodies, all known to specifically recognize epitopes on keratan sulfate glycosaminoglycans, were employed in an immunocytochemical study of developing chick hind limbs. In addition, two monoclonal antibodies specific for epitopes on chondroitin/dermatan sulfate glycosaminoglycans were employed on equivalent sections to determine the degree of colocalizati...
