the internal structure of dna-ctab and dna-ddab is investigated by a small angel x- ray scattering(saxs) instrument. hexagonal packing of dna was observed for dna complex with ctab, and for ddabcomplex is observed lamellar structure. variations in the internal spacing and degree of long-range ordering aredependent on both surfactant type and concentrations of added salt. when we increased the a...

a solution culture experiment was conducted to evaluate the salinity tolerance of 15 tomato genotypes in hoagland’s nutrient solution with three levels of nacl (0, 75, and 150 mm). the experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with three replicates. after 30 days of imposition of salt stress, gas exchange parameters including transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, co2 assimila...

background edible salt is the most commonly used food additive worldwide. therefore, any contamination of table salt could be a health hazard. objectives the present study aimed to determine the levels of heavy metals in table and bakery refined salts. materials and methods eighty-one table refined salt samples and the same number of bakery refined salt samples were purchased from retail market...

BACKGROUND Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists attenuate renal injury in salt-sensitive hypertensive rats with low plasma aldosterone levels. We hypothesized that oxidative stress causes MR activation in high-salt-fed Dahl salt-sensitive rats. Furthermore, we determined if MR activation persisted and induced renal injury, even after switching from a high- to a normal-salt diet. METHOD...

The purpose of this study was to identify microvascular alterations that could contribute to increased peripheral vascular resistance in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat with salt-induced hypertension. Intravital microscopy was used to study the spinotrapezius muscle arteriolar network in anesthetized salt-sensitive rats fed either a high salt (7% sodium chloride) or low-normal salt (0.45% sodium ch...

this experiment was carried out to study the effect of sodium chloride from drinking water and feed intake on the quality of egs from laying hens. four hundred and twenty native and white leghorn laying hens ranging from 36 to 43 weeks of age were used. seven experimental treatments containing different levels of salt supplied by feed and/or drinking water were compared. increasing salt int...

Excessive dietary salt intake is related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although dietary salt restriction is essential, it is difficult to achieve because of salt palatability. However, the association between salt perception or salt eating habit and actual salt intake remains uncertain. In this study, we recruited 74 healthy young individuals. We investigated their salt-eating habi...

Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has been shown to be renal protective in rat models of salt-sensitive hypertension. Here, we hypothesize that targeted disruption of the sEH gene (Ephx2) prevents both renal inflammation and injury in deoxycorticosterone acetate plus high salt (DOCA-salt) hypertensive mice. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) increased significantly in the DOCA-salt ...

Accumulating evidence shows an increase in insulin resistance on salt restriction. We compared the effect of low salt diet on insulin resistance in salt-sensitive versus salt-resistant hypertensive subjects. We also evaluated the relationship between salt sensitivity of blood pressure and salt sensitivity of insulin resistance in a multivariate regression model. Studies were conducted after 1 w...
