The Aral Sea region (Uzbekistan) is infamous because of the ecological disaster characterized by the disappearance of the Aral Sea due to excessive uncontrolled water intake for agriculture needs. A new desert occurrence, soil and climate aridization led to pesticide and toxic metals environment pollution. The impact of environmental conditions in some areas of Uzbekistan on the health of soccer players is not as noticeable as, for example, the effectiveness of training, so it is not widely discussed in scientific papers.

Quercetin is a flavonoid with a wide range of biological activities, including an antimicrobial effect. However, quercetin instability and low bioavailability that limits its use in medical practice makes it necessary to look for new nanoformulations of it.

Glycyrrhizic acid is one of those that, apart from its therapeutic effect, may contribute to stronger bones, inhibiting bone resorption and improving the bone structure and biomechanical strength. In the present study, we investigated the effect of a bioactive glass (BG) addition to the structure-property relationships of supramolecular assemblies formed by glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and its monoammonium salt (MSGA).

It boosts immunity and is a rich source of many biologically active substances and minerals. Although it is a medicinally important crop, its productivity is, however, affected due to poor nutrient management and therefore it requires an adequate supply of nutrients in the form of inorganic fertilizers or organic manuring, or a mixture of both.

In anesthetized normotensive (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats the adrenoreactivity in the maximum dilated vessels of hind leg skeletal muscles was compared. Adrenoreactivity mentioned above has been registered as an amplitude of changes of hydraulic resistance (R), hydrostatic capillary pressure (Pc) and capillary filtration coefficient (CFC) to noradrenaline infusion in the vascular bed of perfused skeletal muscles. Resistance changes were more considerable in experiments on the SHR comparatively to those in the WKY.
