Iron deficiency anemia is a common clinical consequence for people who suffer from chronic kidney disease, especially those requiring dialysis. Intravenous (IV) iron therapy is a widely accepted safe and efficacious treatment for iron deficiency anemia. Numerous IV iron drugs have been approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including a single generic product, sodium ferric glucona...

ABSTRACT: The establishment of minimum growth conditions is essential for in vitro germplasm conservation. Changes to the basic medium and carbon source concentrations are important factors reducing plant vitro. This study adjusted a protocol conservation ‘Florida Rough’ lemon plants. Microcuttings (approximately 1 cm) from plants that were previously cultivated inoculated into test tubes with ...

Trehalose, an a,a-diglucoside, induced a rapid blackening and death of shoot tips of Cuseuta reflexa (dodder) cultured in vitro. The onset of toxic symptom was delayed if any of the several sugars which support the in vitro growth of Cuscuta was supplied with trehalose. The rate of trehalose uptake or its accumulation in the tissue was not affected by sugar cofeeding. The levels of total and re...

turfgrasses are usually important groundcover plants in many landscapes. they occupy the lowest surface of the landscape, close to pollutant particles. so, they can be an attractive option for environmental remediation. today, high concentrations of hazardous chemicals such as lead are among the most serious environmental problems. in vitro selection of turfgrass accumulator or tolerant of toxi...

in a preliminary study carried out in a simple field laboratory in bandar-abbas, southern iran, five isolates of p. falciparum collected from the patients was cultured in rpmi 1640 medium with human serum in the tightly closed screw capped vials without any devised system for adjustment of co2 and o2 mixture. the same isolates were also cultured, simultaneously, in petri-dishes using jensen-tra...

Pure oxygen at 1 atm exerts two opposite effects on Pseudomonas saccharophila: it inhibits sucrose uptake and lipid synthesis, but it enhances the formation of polysaccharides.

Uptake and metabolism of sucrose by adult silverleaf whiteflies (Bern&a argentifolii) were investigated on defined diets containing sucrose concentrations from 3 to 30% (w/v). At an optimal pH of 7, the volume of liquid ingested decreased with increasing dietary sucrose concentration, but the amount of sucrose ingested showed a net increase. Above a dietary sucrose concentration of about lo%, a...

The combination of sucrose and starch in the presence of surface-adsorbed salivary α-amylase and bacterial glucosyltransferases increase the formation of a structurally and metabolically distinctive biofilm by Streptococcus mutans. This host-pathogen-diet interaction may modulate the formation of pathogenic biofilms related to dental caries disease. We conducted a comprehensive study to further...
