Polyspecific organic cation transporters (OCTs) have a large substrate binding pocket with different interaction domains. To determine whether OCT regulation is substrate specific, suitable fluorescent organic cations were selected by comparing their uptake in wild-type (WT) human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells and in HEK-293 cells stably transfected with hOCT2. N-amidino-3,5-diamino-6-chloro...

Computer models may be useful tools to design management practices for green manures, to maximize N uptake by the following crop while minimizing N losses to leaching. A previous paper tested CERES models predictions of soil processes in the absence of a crop, but did not consider effects of the crop, such as water and N uptake or shading of the soil surface. In this paper, we evaluated the abi...

The study was carried out in the winter (rabi) season to determine effect of Nano and Non-nano nutrient, study's findings revealed that wheat grown with 100% NPK + nano nutrients (N P K Zn) had significantly higher uptake, namely N (143.1 kg ha-1), (28.9 (109.0 Zn (519.5 g ha-1). Applications nutrients—N, P, K, Zn, 75% NPK—worked synergistically increased content uptake over NPK. Similarly, agr...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physiological uptake pattern of (18)F-FDG in the left ventricular myocardium of patients under preparation for tumor FDG-PET. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 188 patients without cardiac disease. The accumulation patterns were classified as either 'none', 'diffuse', 'focal' or 'focal on diffuse'. When a focal uptake was only observed on t...

On the basis of mass balance calculations performed for nitrogen (N) uptake experiments in the Southern California Bight (SCB), it has been suggested that a significant portion of dissolved inorganic N (DIN) uptake results in the production of dissolved organic N (DON). To investigate this process, the fate of ammonium (NH4 ) and nitrate (NO3 ) uptake was quantified within the euphotic zone at ...

To date, few studies are conducted to quantify the effects of reduced ammonium (NH4+) and oxidized nitrate (NO3-) on soil CH4 uptake and N2O emission in the subtropical forests. In this study, NH4Cl and NaNO3 fertilizers were applied at three rates: 0, 40 and 120 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1). Soil CH4 and N2O fluxes were determined twice a week using the static chamber technique and gas chromatography. S...

the demand for low fat snacks is increasing. there are different methods to produce low fat fried products. one of these methods is coating. in this study effect of carrageenan, oil temperature and frying time, on oil uptake of fried products (chips and strips) has been evaluated. samples were deep fried in frying oil (palm olein) at 160, 175 and 190 ºc. in order to evaluate the effect of fryin...
