Pathology of congenital bromine deficiency is described in a she-goat whose mother was kept for two years on a bromine deficient diet. Anomalies of the bones and joints of the anterior limbs, disturbances of carbohydrate, lipid and mineral metabolism in the form of liver, kidney and lymph nodes
Rats have been fed diets containing either 0.8% brominated corn oil or 0.5% of the ethyl ester of 9,10-dibromostearate or 9,10,12,13-tetrabromostearate. The brominated compounds were incorporated into semisynthetic diets and animals were observed after feeding periods of 5 days to 3 months. With the
To investigate the vibrational dynamics in high-lying electronic states of molecules, a degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) process in combination with an initial pump pulse was employed. Applying this technique, the vibrational dynamics occurring in the high-lying E(0(2)g) ion-pair state of
While it is known that the performance of reverse osmosis membranes is dependent on their physicochemical properties, the existing literature studying membranes used in treatment facilities generally focuses on foulant layers or performance changes due to fouling, not on the performance and
In previous work (Scaria, A.; et al. Chem. Phys. Lett. 2009, 470, 39-43) it was shown that the excitation of the electronic B state in bromine can be characterized by transitions starting from vibrational hot states of the electronic ground X state. This contribution is strongly depending on the
A method of a combined use of fiber gastroscopy and x-ray fluorescent analysis was elaborated for a study of the chemical composition of the gastric mucosa. Fr, Cu, Zn, Br, and Rb concentrations were determined in gastric mucosa biopsy specimens obtained during fiber gastroscopy, using x-ray
A prototypical study of NMR chemical shifts in biologically relevant heteroaromatic compounds containing a heavy halogen atom is presented for two isomers of halogen-substituted purines. Complete sets of (1)H-, (13)C- and (15)N-NMR chemical shifts are determined experimentally in solution.
Chlorine and bromine can react with natural organic substances in source waters to form haloacetic acids, major disinfection by-products of water chlorination. Several toxic effects including testicular damage have been attributed to the chloroacetic acids but little information is available on the
Polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDDs) and dibenzofurans (PBDFs) occur as trace (ppb) contaminants in brominated flame retardants and are produced during combustion of these chemicals. They are also formed when organics are incinerated in the presence of bromine, e.g., in municipal and industrial
X-ray radiation in macromolecular crystallography can chemically alter the biological material and deteriorate the integrity of the crystal lattice with concomitant loss of resolution. Typical alterations include decarboxylation of glutamic and aspartic residues, breaking of disulfide bonds and the
Aroclor 1254 and fireMaster BP-6, two commercial polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) preparations, exhibit comparable biologic and toxic effects. In the present study the commercial PBB was more active than Aroclor 1254 in causing thymic atrophy in male Wistar rats.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the mechanism of ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K(ATP)) on nitride oxide (NO) regulating contractile activity of isolated lymphatics from hemorrhagic shock (HS) rats.
METHODS
Eighty - four Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (n=6), HS 0.5-hour group
2,5-Hexanedione (HD) and acrylamide (ACR) are considered to be prototypical among chemical toxicants that cause central-peripheral axonopathies characterized by distal axon swelling and degeneration. Because the demise of distal regions was assumed to be causally related to the onset of
Rats were fed for 35 days diets containing 2% of either brominated corn oil (BCO), monoglyceride of dibromostearate (DBS), monoglyceride of tetrabromostearate (TBS) or a mixture of the two monoglycerides (BMG) which provided proportions of brominated acids comparable to that of the BCO. Hearts from
Chloroform (TCM), a water disinfection by-product, induced liver tumors in female mice when administered by gavage in corn oil but not when given in drinking water at comparable daily doses. Because short-term studies showed that the gavage doses also induced liver toxicity, it has been suggested
