background: industrial copper ingest is a common form of poisoning in animals. zinc has an important role in the physiology of spermatozoa, in sperm production and viability. objective: this study was set to investigate whether the adverse effects of long term copper consumption on quality of rat spermatozoa could be prevented by zinc therapy. materials and methods: forty eight mature (6-8 week...

In the crystal structure of the title salt, 3C(5)H(6)NO(+)·HSO(4) (-)·SO(4) (2-)·H(2)O, the hydrogen sulfate ion is linked to the sulfate ion by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The hydrogen sulfate-sulfate anion is a hydrogen-bond acceptor for the three independent cations and the uncoordinated water mol-ecule, the hydrogen-bonding inter-actions giving rise to a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networ...

Sulfate uptake, the first step of sulfate assimilation in all organisms, is a highly endoergic, ATP requiring process. It is under tight control at the transcriptional level and is additionally modulated by posttranslational modifications, which are not yet fully characterized. Sulfate anion is taken up into the cell by specific transporters, named sulfate permeases, located in the cell membran...

The production of zinc sulfate is important both medically and agriculturally. If zinc sulfate is produced without agglomeration at the nanoscale, its absorption in the body is more and faster. In this research, the induction time parameter is assessed for nucleation of zinc sulfate nanoparticles at room temperature and various supersaturations using acetone (as anti-solve...

Magnesium sulfate is widely used in obstetrics and is drug of choice in two important complications of pregnancy, preeclampsia and preterm labor. The antagonistic effects of magnesium sulfate on calcium ion and on platelet aggregation may lead to changes in bleeding time. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of magnesium sulfate on bleeding time in women with threatened preterm labor...

Sulfate attack is a series of physico-chemical reactions between hardened cement paste and sulfate ions. Sulfate ion penetration into the hydrated cement results in the formation of voluminous and deleterious phases such as gypsum and ettringite which are believed to cause deterioration and expansion of concrete. Concrete deterioration due to sulfate attack depends on many parameters, however, ...

background: this study was designed to investigate the effect of intravenous magnesium sulfate on hemodynamic changes induced by pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. methods: a randomized, placebo controlled study was performed on 52 asa class i or ii aged 20-70 years patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide. bef...
