The research described in this dissertation consists of four major areas: (1) sequence analysis of protamine 2 from Muroid rodents to identify potential zinc-binding domain(s) of protamine 2; (2) structural studies of the protamine 2-zinc complex from Syrian Gold hamster sperm a…
This study evaluated whether combined zinc and vitamin A supplementation would improve the biochemical indexes of vitamin A nutriture, reduce morbidity, and enhance growth in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention trial. Eight hundred children aged 12–35 mon…
Atopic eczema is an incurable disorder of the skin. Sufferers are afflicted with hypersensitivity to environmental agents such as soaps (detergents), animal dander, pollen, specific foods and sometimes even water. Genetic mutations in atopic eczema compromise the development of …
Objectives. The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of 10 mg daily zinc supplementation for the treatment of diarrhea in infants 1-5 months of age living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, New Delhi, India, and Karachi, Pakistan. We also sought to assess differences in m…
Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies are common during pregnancy. While pregnant women are routinely supplemented with Fe, Zn supplementation is also often recommended. However, the effects of maternal Fe and Zn deficiency and supplementation during pregnancy on infant Fe and Zn…
Zinc-dependent metalloproteinases, belonging to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family, comprise a large group of structurally homologous enzymes with a wide variety of biological roles. Originally described as proteinases involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) catabolism, th…
Phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies are common in calcareous soils. Calcareous soils make up some of the most productive agricultural lands in the Mandozai district of the Khost province in southeastern Afghanistan and little is known about the phosphorus and zinc fertilit…
The placebo-controlled zinc supplementation (20 mg zinc daily) study investigated the changes in plasma zinc levels, as well as other health and stress parameters at baseline and endpoint of the 17 day trial. In addition, a novel method quantifying changes in zinc transporter Zi…
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, özellikle Balkanlar ve Türkiye'de tamamlayıcı tıp uygulamalarında yaygın olarak kullanılan Cotinus coggygria (tetra otu) bitkisinde bulunan ağır metal düzeylerinin tayin edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Güney merkez Bulgaristan’da yer alan Haskova ve …
Open graded friction course (OGFC) has been under use over the past decades by the highway agencies as the road surfacing material. The friction course reduces splash/spray, noise, and water accumulation, and provides better visibility and traction. In addition, OGFC has the abi…
Zn₁₋xMnxS is a ternary semiconductor compound which belongs to the family of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS). It has two crystalline phases: cubic for x ≤ 0.10, and hexagonal for 0.10 ≤ x ≤ 0.50. Its energy gap is temperature and x dependent. The gap, ranging from 3.7 to 3…
