This study examined the contribution of nitric oxide (NO) to the susceptibility or resistance to the hypertensive effects of high sodium chloride (8.0% NaCl) intake in young Dahl/Rapp salt-sensitive (SS/Jr) and salt-resistant (SR/Jr) rats. Using NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) as a probe for NO production in vivo, we found that increasing dietary sodium chloride increased NO activity in salt-...

in this study, the effects of forming method (extrusion) and environmental factors (solution ph and temperature) on the corrosion performance of az91 magnesium alloys were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and salt spray techniques. the polarization test results of the specimens showed that simple sh...

abstract millets are important agricultural crops for arid regions due to short life span and their resistance to salinity and drought conditions. in iran, three main species of millets including proso millet (panicum miliaceum), foxtail millet (setaria italica) and pearl millet (pennisetum glaucum) are cultivated in shouthern khorasan province, eastern iran. in order to assess inter-specific g...
