Eighteen patients with stable mild hypertension (mean blood pressure 144/93 mm Hg) restricted their sodium intake for eight weeks while taking part in a double blind randomised crossover trial of slow sodium and placebo tablets. Mean 24 hour urinary sodium excretion was 143 mmol(mEq) during the period on slow sodium and 87 mmol during the period on placebo. Five patients were unable to reduce t...

The purpose of this paper is multi-objective optimization of refrigeration cycle by optimization of all components of the cycle contains heat exchangers, air condenser, evaporator and super-heater. Studied refrigeration cycle is compression refrigeration cycle of unit 132 Third refineries in south pars that provide chilled water for cooling refinery equipment's. Cycle will be performed by t...

The time course of the recovery of cardiac mitochondrial phospholipids was investigated in rats subjected to a 3 hour loaded swim. The 3 hour swim caused a 50% reduction in mitochondrial phospholipids compared with the level in sedentary controls. During the first 12 hours of the recovery period, phospholipids tended to increase but fell again before reaching control values by 120 hours after t...

Observations on the sperm biology of Bunnei (Barbus sharpeyi), after hormone injection perm activity for injected fish ranged between 85 % - 100 %. The most amazing finding was collected semen from deceased one hour 90 %, and it has highest time(120 sec.), this time higher than that Al-Therthar reservoir during spawning season. volume very low (1- 0.4 ml). which is a characteristic species. con...

OBJECTIVE To verify what information from oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) independently predicts mortality. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 1,401 initially nondiabetic participants from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging aged 17-95 years underwent one or more OGTTs (median 2, range 1-8), with insulin and glucose measurements taken every 20 min over the course of 2 h include...

Short term inhibitor treatment can be used to examine the processes that occur during an inductive dark period in the short day plant Lemna perpusilla Torr., strain 6746. Several inhibitors of protein biosynthesis are most effective in reducing per cent flowering when treatment occurs over the 2-hour intervals beginning at the 12th hour or the 14th hour of a 8 (16) photoperiodic cycle. The anti...

The thermogenic effect of a high energy supplement was examined in ten healthy and physically active female subjects that underwent two testing sessions administered in a randomized and double-blind fashion. The subjects reported to the Human Performance Laboratory after at least a 3-hour post-absorptive state and were provided either 120 ml of the supplement (SUP), or 120 ml of a placebo (PL)....
