this study was conducted to evaluate the relative bioavailability value of mn proteinate and mn oxide in broiler chicks. a total of 432 day-old cobb 500 commercial male broiler chicks were randomly distributed into nine treatments with eight replicate pens of six chicks each. in a completely randomized design experiment with a 2×4 factorial arrangement of two manganese sources (proteinate and r...

mitochondrial functions have a major impact on t-cell functionality. in this study we characterized whether mitochondrial function in the neonatal t-cells differs from that in the adult t-cells during short t-cell activation. methods: we used fow cytometry methods to test mitochondrial mass and to monitor mitochondrial ca2+ levels, mitochondrial potential and superoxide generation in parallel w...

rho-kinase is an effector molecule of rhoa, a monomeric gtp-binding protein, and causes ca2+ sensitization through inactivation of myosin phosphatase. the major physiological functions of rho/rho-kinase cascade include contraction, proliferation and migration in cells.there are some excellent reviews about rho/rho-kinase signal pathway, most of which focus on the specific proteins of the pathwa...

abstract in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes on yield and yield components of three chickpea cultivars, an experiment was conducted during the 2007 growing season at mashhad. six irrigation regimes including i1= full irrigation, i2= irrigation at branching, i3= irrigation at flowering, i4= irrigation at pod formation, i5= irrigation at seed filling stage, and i6=...

to investigate the effect of supplemental irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer on kernel weight, test weight and wheat grain yield under dryland conditions, a two-year field experiment was conducted in the research farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university during 2004-2005. five irrigation regime including dryland conditions, irrigation at stem elongation, booting, flowering and grain fil...

Background: In agriculture, supplemental calcium was applied to alleviate plant growth and development inhibition causing by various stresses. However, overload is toxic plants, which may prevent the germination of seeds reduce rates. Hsp90 an important molecular chaperone distributing in all living organisms a series studies have shown that Ca2+ closely relationship. To better understanding re...

conclusions: the results of the present study indicated that oral preparation of cm with an acceptable taste is feasible. background: chlorpheniramine maleate (cm) is widely used as an antihistaminic drug but it is very bitter and as yet no mouth dissolving/disintegrating taste-masked preparation that might be useful for pediatric and geriatric patients is available in the market. objectives: t...

the complexation reactions between mg2+, ca2+, sr2+ and ba2+ metal cations with 15-crown-5 (15c5) were studied in acetonitrile (an)-methanol (meoh) binary mixtures at different temperatures using conductometric method. 15c54 forms 1:1 complexes with mg2+, ca2+ and sr2+ cations in solutions. the ma2+ cation forms a 2:1 complex (ratio of lighand to cation) in solutions. a linear relation was obse...
