Open AccessHomoarginine and inhibition of human arginase activity: kinetic characterization and biological relevance
The inhibition of arginase, resulting in higher arginine (ARG) availability for nitric oxide synthesis, may account for the putative protective effect of homoarginine (HOMOARG) against atherosclerosis and card...

Response of plasma IL-6 and its soluble receptors during submaximal exercise to fatigue in sedentary middle-aged men
The pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been demonstrated to increase during exercise. Little is known regarding the response of the soluble IL-6 receptors (sIL-6R and sgp130) during such exercise. T...

The Role of Organic Polyelectrolytes in High Rate Alternatives to Primary Separation
Treatment of sewage with a CDS (continuously deflective separator) unit has produced a treated effluent quality of 5 NTU and 20 mg/l TSS at hydraulic loading rates of 57 m3m-2h-1. This performance required the pr...

Effect of Floc Characteristics on High Rate Filtration of Sewage
High filtration rates (20–50 m/hr) for the removal of total suspended solids (TSS) from sewage usually result in poor removal efficiencies. At high filtration rates flocs break up and the small particles are n...

Soluble Organic Polymers in Water and Wastewater Treatment
Organic polymeric flocculants have been used in water purification processes for several decades as coagulant aids or floc builders, after the addition of inorganic coagulants like alum, iron salts or lime. Th...
