Inhibition of Clostridium perfringens germination and outgrowth by salts of organic acids such as sodium lactate, sodium acetate, buffered sodium citrate and buffered sodium citrate supplemented with sodium diacetate was evaluated during continuous chilling of ground turkey. Turkey breast meat was injected with a brine-containing NaCl, potato starch and potassium tetra pyrophosphate to yield fi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of different sodium concentrations in replacement fluids on haematological variables and endurance performance during prolonged exercise. METHODS Thirteen female endurance athletes completed three four hour runs on a 400 m track. Environmental conditions differed between the three trials: 5.3 degrees C and snow (trial 1), 19.0 degrees C and sunny weather (t...

round heart disease is a disease of unknown etiology in turkey. the objective of this study was to examinethe effect of different amounts of sodium chloride in inducing cardiomyopathy in turkey poults. there are some reports that hypoxia and furazolidone can induce cardiomyopathy in turkey. two hundred 2-day-old turkey poults were wing-banded and placed randomly into 6 groups and 24 replicates ...

Diastolic dysfunction can lead to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, for which there is no effective therapeutic. Ranolazine has been reported to reduce diastolic dysfunction, but the specific mechanisms of action are unclear. The effect of ranolazine on diastolic function was examined in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), where left ventricular relaxation is impaired and stif...

Abstract Pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy is a maladaptive response with poor outcomes and limited treatment options. The transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) ion channel key to activation of Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII)-reliant hypertrophic signaling pathway after pressure overload, but TRPM4 neither stretch-activated nor -permeable. Here we show tha...

This process of sensory integ...

background:   objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the harmful effects of sodium arsenite on sperm parameters and the antioxidant effects of vit.e on sperm anomalies in sodium arsenite treated rats.   materials and methods: adult male rats were divided into 4 groups: control, sodium arsenite (8 mg/kg/day), vit.e (100 mg/kg/day) and sodium arsenite+vit.e. oral treatments were perf...

citicoline is a natural substance with neuroprotective and repairing effects. it can also increase the phosphor metabolites in cerebral cortex. regarding the various effects of citicoline on central nervous system, this research aims at studying the effects of citicoline on the thiopental sodium anesthesia. six dogs were anesthetized by intravenous injection of 20 mg ∕ kg of 2.5% thiopental sod...

This work describes the synthesis of a novel zinc(II) porphyrin complex, namely [Meso-4α-tetra-(1,2,3-triazolyl)phenylporphyrinato]zinc(II) symbolized by 4α-[Zn(TAzPP)] (4), using click chemistry approach in presence copper iodide. All synthetic species reported herein were fully characterized elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-visible and fluoresce...

The structure of the title complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(12)H(18)N(2)O(2))], contains a zwitterionic Schiff base ligand. The complex adopts a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry around the metal centre with the Schiff base ligand coordinated in a bidentate fashion via the imine N and phenolate O atoms. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chain...
