with a mean precipitation rate, much lower than that of the world, iran is among the countries that face severe water challenges. the present study has dealt with the evaluation of hydrochemistry of faryab spring water in hormozgan province, iran. four different composite water samples have been analyzed to detect major anions, cations, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, ph, and s...

Inhibition of purified AMP-deaminase from chicken breast muscle by phosphate esters and inorganic phosphate has been investigated. When tested at a concentration of 3 mM, in the presence of 0.15 M potassium chloride, the order of effectiveness as inhibitors of deaminase activity was: 2,3diphosphoglyceric acid, 3-phosphoglyceric acid, 2-phosphoglyceric acid, 2-phosphoenolpyruvate, fructose 1,6di...

Objective. To describe the chloride balance in infants born 25-32-week gestation, analyze the association of chloride changes with hydroelectrolytic status and their relationship with perinatal conditions, morbidities, and neurological outcome. Methods. For 7 days after birth, sodium and chloride balance, plasma potassium, phosphate, and total carbon dioxide (tCO(2)) were prospectively determin...

were aged in vitro for 24 hours at 370C. Nor was the normal rate of loss of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, ATP, or glutathione from the red cells affected by the presence of chloramphenicol over the same period. Consequently, this bacteriostatic agent can be added to blood samples taken under nonsterile conditions, such as from the heel of an infant, in order to preserve them from the effects of micro...

NOTICE The contents of this report reflect the views of t...

Inherited and acquired disorders that enhance the activity of transporters mediating renal tubular Na(+) reabsorption are well established causes of hypertension. It is unclear, however, whether primary activation of an Na(+)-independent chloride transporter in the kidney can also play a pathogenic role in this disease. Here, mice overexpressing the chloride transporter pendrin in intercalated ...
