crop residues management is one of the most important factors to sustain agro-ecosystems. application of plant residues as organic fertilizers has functional role on the amount of soil elements, their availability for crops and finally yield obtained. in order to investigate the effect of different crop residues and their management on providing wheat potassium requirement, a four-replicated fi...

Potassium concentrations in excess of 30 mM increase the rate of beating of lateral cilia on the gill of Mytilus edulis. Cilioexcitation produced by low frequency (5 beats/s) electrical stimulation was potentiated with potassium but blocked with bromolysergic acid (a serotonergic inhibitor). Cilioinhibition produced by high frequency (50 beats/s) stimulation was decreased with potassium and phe...

potassium level. The liver has been established as the major source of the extra potassium in adrenaline hyperkalemia (5-7). On the other hand, nicotine stimulates adrenaline release from the adrenal glands (11-13), thereby the hyperglycemia is produced as the result of a pharmacological action of nicotine (14-16). As the authors are interested in the relation of the hepatic release of potassiu...

Objective: The Losartan potassium mucoadhesive buccal tablet were prepared using mucoadhesive polymers such as Carbopol 940P, pectin, sodium CMC, Sodium alginate, HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M and HPMC K100M in alone and in combination as release retarding agent to prolong the drug release and to avoid first pass metabolism. Methods: The mucoadhesive buccal tablets were prepared by direct compression met...

oxLDL peptide vaccine and its antibody adoptive transferring have shown a significantly preventive or therapeutic effect in atherosclerotic animal model. The molecular mechanism behind this is obscure. Here, we report that oxLDL induces MCP-1 release in monocytes/macrophages through their TLR-4 (Toll-like receptor 4) and ERK MAPK pathway and is calcium/potassium channel-dependent. Using blockin...
