Abstract Indoxyl sulfate (IS) accumulates in the body in chronic kidney disease (CKD).In the renal proximal tubules, IS excretion is mediated by OAT1/3 and ABCG2.These transporters are inhibited by some hypouricemic agents; OATs by probenecid and benzbromarone, ABCG2 by febuxostat and benzbromarone.Thus, we evaluated whether hypouricemic agents 6.6

The aim of this study was to measure the electrical properties of dried quinces.Faculty of Agriculture of University in Novi Sad had provided the samples of dried quinces (Cydonia Oblonga Mill.) in the frame of a bilateral project.Electrical resistance, impedance Patio Umbrellas and capacitance were measured by LCR meter GoodWill LCR-821.The freque

In the Inner Mongolian steppe, China, sheep generally graze during daytime and are kept in yards overnight.Hence, nutrients are not returned to the grassland, which might reduce its long-term productivity.Furthermore, the restricted grazing time may limit forage intake and thus the performance of sheep.The aim of this study was therefore to evaluat
