The effects on blood pressure and the development of cardiac hypertrophy of sodium chloride (regular salt) and a novel potassium-, magnesium-, and l-lysine-enriched salt alternative, which in a previous study prolonged the life span of hypertensive rats nearly threefold as compared with the animals receiving regular salt, were compared both in spontaneously hypertensive rats and their hypertens...

1. Purified citrate-extracted ichthyocol obtained from carp swim bladders has been further characterized with respect to its content of certain amino acids and carbohydrate substances. 2. The degree of solubilization or dispersion of ichthyocol by solutions of certain salts maintained in the range of neutral pH and at a temperature of 0-2 degrees C. has been determined. 3. While a number of sal...

A comparative analysis of a magnesium-zinc stabilizer based on pentaerythritol and standard calcium-zinc stearic acid was carried out. The influence the ratio magnesium (PenMg) to zinc (PenZn) thermal thermo-mechanical stability polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is considered.

Nanostructures of magnesium oxide is one of the most attractive materials which have shown various applications in many aspects of industries. So, finding a controllable and inexpensive technique to produce desirable nanostructures of MgO is valuable. In this work, magnesium oxide (MgO) with different morphologies was successfully prepared via a simple solid-state method. The molar ratio of sod...

Twenty patients, who underwent coronary revascularization without cardioplegic arrest, were given (during cardiopulmonary bypass) either magnesium chloride 16 mmol in 10 ml of water (magnesium group) or 10 ml of water alone (control group). Plasma and urinary magnesium concentrations were measured for 24 h after operation. ECG was recorded continuously during this period. QT intervals corrected...

Calcium influx through voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels is critical for many neuronal processes required for learning and memory. Persistent increases in cytosolic intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations in aging neurons are associated with learning impairments, while small transient subcellular changes in intracellular calcium concentrations play critical roles in neural plasticity in young neuro...

One heat-modifiable protein of Escherichia coli outer membrane does not completely change to the high-temperature form in the presence of magnesium ion in sodium dodecyl sulfate solution. When the metal ion complexing reagents ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, phosphate ion, hydroxyl ion, or the competitive cations Zn2+ or Ca2+ are added to the sodium dodecyl sulfate-solubilized sample of outer ...
