background: combination of glycation and oxidation is associated with diabetes mellitus. the aim of this study was to clarify the effect of glycated proteins in presence of transition metal ions on production of reactive oxygen species (ros) in rat hepatocyte suspension.  methods: glycated albumin was prepared by incubation of bovine serum albumin with 100 mm glucose in 0.3 m phosphate buffer a...

the hybrid molten/solid in2o3 - 30-48 wt.% bi2o3 oxide materials were studied with respect to their transport properties. the conductivities, oxygen ion transport numbers and oxygen permeation fluxes have been measured by using the four-probe dc, volumetric measurements of the faradaic efficiency and gas flow techniques, respectively. we show that the oxygen permeability of the hybrid molten/so...

abstract mango is one of the most important tropical fruits in iran and salinity is an important problem to mango production in ‘hormozgan’ province and other mango growing areas in iran. at present experiment the effects of saline irrigation water of different sodium chloride concentration on vegetative growth and ion content of mango was evaluated. treatments comprised two type of cultivars (...

abstract- olive (olea europaea l.) is one of the most valuable and widespread fruit trees in iran. salt stress-induced changes in membrane stability, photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity were examined on four olive cultivars (dakal, shiraz, zard and amigdalifolia) by emphasizing the correlation between measured parameters and ion (k+, na+) accumulation. plants were subjected to four s...

in this study, a rapid, simple and sensitive ion mobility spectrometry (ims) method with corona discharge as ionization source was described for the morphine determination in human urine. morphine was extracted and purified from urine samples using solid phase extraction procedure with c18 column. it can offer the clean extracts which no extra peaks were observed in ims. under operating experim...

salinity is one of the major environmental stresses that limit plant growth and productivity. glasswort (salicornia herbacea l.) is one of the native halophytic plants of iran that widely spread in salt areas. the purpose of this study was to determine the physiological and growth responses of s. herbacea to salinity stress. plastic pods (15 cm diameter, 20 cm height) with the silica sand bed w...

two poly(oxyethylene) derivatives 1.10-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7,1-tetradecane (l1) and 1,7-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane (l2) were used as suitable ionophores for the preparation of potassium-selective pvc-membrane electrodes. the resulting electrodes based on l1 and l2 exhibit linear responses to the activity of k+ ions within the concentration ranges of 3.1´10-5 -2.7´10-2 m and 2...

a new cesium ion selective pvc membrane based on parent calix [4] arene was developed for potentiometric determination of cesium in environmental samples. the electrode based on p-5,11,17,23tetra(tertbutyl) 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy calix[4]arene(thc) as ionophor ,dibutyl phthalate (dbp)as plasticizer ,sodium tetra phenyl borate(natpb)and oleic acid as lipophilic salt and additive showed the bes...

a total of 148 groundwater samples were collected from bore wells from thirumanimuttar sub-basin for two seasons to identify major geochemical process activated to alter groundwater chemistry. the study revealed relationships with the lithology and anthropogenic process. groundwater in the region was dominated by na – ca – mg and cl and hco3 types. the (ca +mg) versus tz+ plot for both seas...

the effect of chloride ions concentration on the electrochemical behavior of aisi 410 stainless steel in thesimulated concrete pore (0.1 m naoh + 0.1 m koh) solution was investigated by various electrochemicalmethods such as potentiodynamic polarization, mott–schottky analysis and electrochemical impedancespectroscopy (eis). potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that increasing chloride ...
