abstract for evaluating nacl salinity effect on some physiological and qualitative attributes of five winter canola cultivars, an experiment was conducted in a rcd base factorial in three replicates in greenhouse of east azarbaijan agricultural research center in 2008. five salinity levels as 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mm nacl treated as first factor on five rape seed (fornax, licord, elite, slm04...

Unidirectional influxes of sugars and Na from muscosal solution into the cells of rabbit ileum have been examined. The influxes of glucose, galactose, and 3-0-methyl glucose (3 MG) follow Michaelis-Menten type kinetics and are markedly dependent on the presence ofNa in the mucosal solution. For 3 MG, reduction of Na concentration causes a decrease in maximal rate of influx and little change in ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of salt stress on some agro-physiological traits in ten varieties of bread (triticum aestivum l.) and durum (triticum turgidum l.) wheats in seedling stage. a greenhouse experiment was carried out as a split plot experiment based on a completely randomized design with four replications in hydroponic condition. different agronomic and physiol...

BACKGROUND Increased potassium intake has been shown to lower blood pressure (BP) even in the presence of high sodium consumption however the role of dietary potassium on vascular function has received less attention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between habitual intake of sodium (Na) and potassium (K) and measures of arterial stiffness and wave reflection. METHODS T...

Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to measure magnesium, calcium, and sodium, and emission spectrometry to measure potassium, in myocardium (left and right ventricles) of 26 control subjects who died of acute trauma. Results were expressed in mumol/g of proteins. Mg/Ca and K/Na ratios were also determined. The same measurements were made in 24 patients who died from acute myocardial infarc...

The purpose of this study was to identify food sources for major minerals such as calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na) and potassium (K), and to evaluate the relationship between dietary intake of these minerals and serum lipids in healthy Korean adults. A total of 132 healthy men and women completed a physical examination and dietary record and provided blood samples for lipid profile ana...

The anti-mutagenic activity of a PPAR-γ ligand pioglitazone (PIO-1 and 10 mg/kg, p.o daily for 4 weeks) was evaluated against the nicotinamide (NA-230 mg/kg, ip) and streptozotocin (STZ-65 mg/kg, ip) induced nuclear damage in diabetic Wistar rats. The NA-STZ diabetes significantly (P<0.001) increased the frequency of bone marrow micronuclei in erythrocytes and reduced the P/N ratio (polychromat...
