Salinity resistance in Zea mays: fluxes of potassium, sodium and chloride, cytoplasmic concentrations and microsomal membrane lipids

Abstract Cytoplasmic concentrations, fluxes of K⁺, Na⁺ and Cl and microsomal membrane lipids were investigated in a salt-sensitive and salt-resistant variety of Zea mays. The salt resistance of Protador relative to LG_H (salt-sensitive) appears to be related to higher K⁺ fluxes and cytoplasmic concentrations, and lower Na⁺ and Cl fluxes and cytoplasmic concentrations, when grown in NaCl. There were no apparent differences in the simple chemical composition of root microsomal membrane lipids between the two varicties, neither were these affected by salt.     

马齿苋多糖对衰老小鼠肠道微生态调节作用的研究

目的探讨中药马齿苋多糖对衰老小鼠微生态调节作用。方法皮下注射D-半乳糖建立衰老小鼠模型,用马齿苋多糖进行治疗,同时设正常对照组、阳性对照组和阴性对照组,用药30d后处死小鼠,进行肠道微生态指标检测。结果用D-半乳糖造模以后,小鼠肠道双歧杆菌及乳酸杆菌数量降低（P〈0．05）,而肠杆菌及肠球菌数量增加说明模型建立,血内毒素含量也升高（P〈0．05）。用马齿苋治疗后,益生菌数量升高而肠杆菌和肠球菌数量减少,血内毒素含量也降低（P〈0．05）。结论马齿苋多糖对衰老小鼠的肠道菌群和血内毒素具有调节作用。
