In the current issue of Acta Physiologica, two papers are published investigating development arterial hypertension under conditions pathological loss free water in disease models. Kovarik et al1 studied rats with chronic renal failure, shedding excessive via their remnant kidney due to a hypostenuric concentrating defect. Wild al2 investigated transgenic mouse model for psoriasis, losing psori...

in this study, ice-glazing process of frozen shrimp by chitosan was applied to protect the frozen shrimp from undesirable chemical and physical changes. the effects of 2% chitosan solution glazing on quality of whole, raw and cooked (without head, tail and shell) shrimps stored at -18±2ºc for 6 months were investigated and compared with water glazing, sodium metabisulfite treatment control. gla...

in this study, response surface methodology (rsm) was used to optimize osmo-dehydration of orange slice. effect of osmotic solution temperature in the range of 30 to 60 °c, immersion time from 0 to 300 min and sucrose concentration from 35 to 65 brix degree on water loss, solid gain, moisture content, water loss to solid gain ratio and brix change were investigated by central composite design (...

Biological invasions have increased significantly in response to global change and constitute one of the major causes of biodiversity loss. Insects make up a large fraction of invasive species, in general, and freshwaters are among the most invaded ecosystems on our planet. However, even though aquatic insects dominate most inland waters, have unparalleled taxonomic diversity and occupy nearly ...
