During extreme exercise, athletes experience increased inflammation that is similar to the acute phase response. Endurance athletes, distance runners in particular, are also more susceptible to compromised iron stores. This study evaluated inflammation, immune function and iron status in athletes completing a 50K ultramarathon. Twenty-two well-trained distance runners, 11 males...
Chloride is actively transported across the skin of
the intact
leopard frog, Rana pipiens.
The influx and efflux in 0.2 mM NaC1
are 0.67 and 0. 72 μeq/10 g-hr, respectively.
The renal efflux of
chloride is 0.02 μeq/10 g-h .
The transepithelial potential differences (TEP) range from -1 to +32...
Bacteria were isolated from water at Alder Slough, Oregon. Of
15 isolates grown successfully in the medium employed, 100% showed
measurable uptake of Zn-65. A growth curve was established for one
isolate, a gram-negative rod designated AS-1. Increasing Zn-65 uptake
was found generally to correspond with increasing growth of
AS-1....
The purpose of this thesis is to determine if dietary and
metabolic relationships exist between cobalt and selenium. Two
groups of lambs were compared. The dams of one group of lambs
received an alfalfa hay adequate in selenium and the dams of the
other group received an alfalfa hay deficient...
Pentobarbital binding to hemoglobin, evidence of an interaction
between pentobarbital and 2,3-DPG in binding to hemoglobin, and the
effect of altered oxygen dissociation on the outcome of barbiturate
poisoning were studied.
Ultrafiltration and equilibrium dialysis techniques were used to
determine the binding of pentobarbital to solutions of purified
hemoglobin, diluted...
The specific activity of ⁶⁵Zn (nanocuries ⁶⁵Zn/g total Zn)
was determined in various organs of the common coastal mussel,
Mytilus californianus Conrad, collected from six locations along
the Pacific Coast. These organs included the gills, mantle, foot,
reproductive organs, adductor muscle, and viscera. After ashing
and dissolving with nitric acid...
The purpose of this study was to assess the amount of
sodium in the diet of normal adults. The population consisted
of 86 adults, 49 females and 37 males, who were
participants in the Family Heart Study (FHS). Of this
population 26 were studied during the baseline assessment
period and...
