levels of the heavy metals copper (cu), zinc (zn), lead (pb), cadmium (cd), chromium (cr), nickel (ni), iron (fe) and manganese (mn) were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer (model 67og) in coastal water, sediments and soft tissues of the saccostrea cucullata, from the intertidal zone at five stations in the gulf of chabahar on the iranian coasts along the oman se...

In this study, some metals (aluminium, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, lead, zinc and vanadium) and metalloid (silicon) were determined in water, sediment and some tissues of fish Cyprinus carpio from Mogan Lake. Fish samples were caught in March 2007. As a result of the examination of metals in the water aluminium has the lowest and silicon has the highest concentration. In sediment samples...

The antioxidant enzymes copper/zinc (Cu-Zn) and manganese (Mn) superoxide dismutase (SOD) have been implicated in protection of the lungs from oxidant damage. Mn SOD in particular may be related to acquired tolerance in cells following chronic ozone exposure. In order to study these protective and adaptive phenomena in oxidant injury, the cellular location and relative abundance of Mn SOD and C...

In order to reveal the influence of the metals of soil-water interface in a manganese mine (Xiangtan, China), on local water environment, there are six kinds of metals (Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) characterized by measuring their concentration, correlation, source, and special distribution using principal component analysis, single factor, and Nemero comprehensive pollution index. The results s...

Temporal pattern of expression of Cu/Zn and Mn superoxide dismutases (SODs) was investigated in bovine oocytes and embryos produced in vitro in two different culture conditions and in vivo after superovulation. SODs were examined at a transcriptional level in single oocytes and embryos by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and, at a protein level, by Western blotting on po...

in this study, the effect of hole mulching application of zn and mn on acacia, elm, and plane nutrition was examined in the green spaces of isfahan. three different sites were chosen in a randomized complete block design using six treatments of: 1. cow manure compost, 2. cow manure vermicompost, 3. urban waste compost, 4. urban waste vermicompost, 5. dug hole refilled with the same soil coming ...
