Studies on Coprecipitation of Metal Ions with Aluminum Hydroxide. III. Iron (III)

The adsorption of iron (III) ions on aluminum hydroxide was investigated, using ammonium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide as precipitant. In this study, precipitate of aluminum hydroxide was usually prepared directly in the solution containing iron salt, but in some case, it was pre-formed and iron salt solution was added to it later on. The relation between percentage of iron adsorbed and pH value was investigated in detail. Effects of concentrations of aluminum salt and ammonium salt were also examined. The amounts of iron in precipitate or filtrate were determined spectrophotometrically

Studies on the Water of Wells and Rivers adjacent to the City Fukui

Water analysis of rivers and wells adjacent to the city Fukui proved that the three rivers Kuzuryu, Asuwa and Hino resemble fairy in the quality of the water. The well waters showed a moderate difference in the contents of magnesium, silica etc, from the river waters. The obtained results are shown in the tables

Copreciptation of Copper with Aluminium Hydroxide

The percentage of coprecipitation of copper with aluminium hydroxide， which was obtained by adding ammonium hydroxide to the mixed solutions of aluminium ions， cupric ions， and ammonium chloride， was measured jodometrically or polarographically. The influences of various factors，e. g. ，p Ho f the solutions，c oncentrations of the metallic ions or precipitants. etc.， on the coprecipitation phenomena were discussed

Novel oestrogen receptor beta-selective ligand reduces obesity and depressive-like behaviour in ovariectomized mice

Hormonal changes due to menopause can cause various health problems including weight gain and depressive symptoms. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that oestrogen receptors (ERs) play a major role in postmenopausal obesity and depression. However, little is known regarding the ER subtype-specific effects on obesity and depressive symptoms. To delineate potential effects of ER beta activation in postmenopausal women, we investigated the effects of a novel oestrogen receptor beta-selective ligand (C-1) in ovariectomized mice. Uterine weight, depressive behaviour, and weight gain were examined in sham-operated control mice and ovariectomized mice administered placebo, C-1, or 17 beta-oestradiol (E2). Administration of C-1 or E2 reduced body weight gain and depressive-like behaviour in ovariectomized mice, as assessed by the forced swim test. In addition, administration of E2 to ovariectomized mice increased uterine weight, but administration of C-1 did not result in a significant increase in uterine weight. These results suggest that the selective activation of ERa in ovariectomized mice may have protective effects against obesity and depressive-like behaviour without causing an increase in uterine weight. The present findings raise the possibility of the application of ER beta-ligands such as C-1 as a novel treatment for obesity and depression in postmenopausal women.ArticleSCIENTIFIC REPORTS. 7:4663 (2017)journal articl
