-The kallikrein-kininogen-kinin system is an important vasodilator and vasodepressor component of the cardiovascular system. Acting mainly through B(2) receptors, kinins may counterbalance the pressor effect of angiotensin II, salt, and mineralocorticoids plus salt. Using rats lacking the bradykinin precursors low- and high-molecular-weight kininogen or a B(2) kinin receptor antagonist (icatiba...

background: brown rice (br) is unpolished rice with various beneficial compounds such as vitamins, magnesium and other minerals, dietary fiber, essential fatty acids, γ‑oryzanol and γ‑aminobutyric acid. in the present study, we compared the effects of white rice (wr) and br on inflammatory marker high‑sensitivity c‑reactive protein (hs‑crp) and cardiovascular risk factors among non‑menopausal o...

caspian brown trout (salmo trutta caspius) is one of the economically valuable species in the caspian sea. artificial propagation and production of larvae are the main problems in the early culture of this species. the purpose of this paper is to study the effect of reproductive performance of female broods on opposition reproduction efficiency in caspian brown trout in the breeding season of 2...

In a recent paper, three economists — Drusilla Brown, Alan Deardoff, and Robert Stern — attempt to calculate the benefits of trade liberalization. They estimate that complete elimination of all trade barriers in the world would add $1.9 trillion (about 5%) to the world's gross economic product by 2005 (Brown, Deardoff, and Stern 2001). Brown-Deardoff-Stern's numbers look convincing, leaving the...
