effects of post-hatch fasting (phf) and subcutaneous injection of ca-gluconate (ca-g) on productive performance, immune response and mortality of broiler chicks were investigated using 640 one-day-old ross 308 chicks in a 5×2 factorial experiment with five phf levels (zero, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h) and two ca-g injection levels (zero and 0.7 ml) in a completely randomized block design in four repli...

In the present study, the beneficial and synergistic effects of Polycalcium, a mixture of Polycan and calcium (Ca) lactate-gluconate in a 1:9 weight ratio, on a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA) were explored. Polycalcium (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) was administered orally once per day for 28 days from 1 week after the OA-modeling surgery. Diclofenac sodium (2 mg/kg) was administered as a reference ...

Alkaline solutions containing polyhydroxy carboxylates and Ca(II) are typical in cementitious radioactive waste repositories. Gluconate (Gluc(-)) is a structural and functional representative of these sugar carboxylates. In the current study, the structure and equilibria of complexes forming in such strongly alkaline solutions containing Ca(2+) and gluconate have been studied. It was found that...

Ca(2+)-activated Cl channels (Cl(Ca)Cs) are an important class of anion channels that are opened by increases in cytosolic [Ca(2+)]. Here, we examine the mechanisms of anion permeation through Cl(Ca)Cs from Xenopus oocytes in excised inside-out and outside-out patches. Cl(Ca)Cs exhibited moderate selectivity for Cl over Na: P(Na)/P(Cl) = 0.1. The apparent affinity of Cl(Ca)Cs for Cl was low: K(...

In the present study, sweet cherry fruit (Prunus avium cv. 0900 Ziraat) were dipped into calcium (Ca) gluconate (calcium concentration of 1.5%) and distilled water (as control). The treated stored at 1 ± 0.5°C 90% relative humidity for 4 weeks in two different packages. At weekly intervals, weight loss, firmness, colour changes, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, sensory analysis, tota...

this study was carried out to examine the effect of post hatch fasting (phf) period with and without subcutaneous injection of 0.6 ml ca-gluconate (ca-g) on productive performance and breast muscle development in broiler chicks up to day 28 of age. weight gain (wg) and feed intake (fi) were significantly reduced and fcr was increased as phf lasted for 36 h. injection of ca-g did not improve wg ...
