This study focuses on the search for a natural treatment to reduce lead toxicity in male Wistar rat by using the aquous extract of wheatgrass Triticum aestivum (WG).In addition to the control group (C), rats were exposed to a diet containing 600 mg Pb acetate/Kg diet (Pb), or combined with the WG at 9g/100g diet (Pb-WG) for a period of 6 weeks.Bioc
The vacuole is by far the largest intracellular Ca2+ store in most plant cells.Here, the current knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of vacuolar Ca2+ release and Ca2+ uptake is summarized, and how different vacuolar Ca2+ channels and Ca2+ pumps may contribute to Ca2+ signaling in plant cells is discussed.To provide a phylogenetic perspective,
The Prosthetic rehabilitation of microstomia 48" Gas Cooktop patients presents difficulties at all the stages.The difficulty starts with the preliminary impression making.This is due to the tongue rigidity and the decreased oral opening.A maximum oral opening which is smaller than the size of the tray can make prosthetic treatment challenging.Due t
IntroductionElectrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging clinical tool for monitoring ventilation distribution in mechanically ventilated patients, for which many image reconstruction algorithms have been suggested.We propose an experimental framework to assess such algorithms with respect to their ability to correctly represent well-define
Heavy metals have been accumulating in Brazilian soils, due to natural processes, such as atmospheric deposition, or human industrial activities.For Seat Slide certain heavy metals, when in high concentrations in the soil, there is no specific extractant to determine the availability of these elements in the soil.The objective of the present study
