Extracellular iron diminishes anticancer effects of vitamin C: An in vitro study
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2014)
In vitro studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by high-concentration ascorbate and cell culture medium iron efficiently kills cancer cells. This provided the rationale for clinical trials of high-dose ...
Enhancement in statistical and image analysis for in situ mu SXRF studies of elemental distribution and co-localization, using Dioscorea balcanica
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2013)
Synchrotron-based X-ray microfluorescence (mu SXRF) is an analytical method suitable for in situ investigation of the distribution of micronutrient and macronutrient elements in several-micrometres-thick unstained biological ...
Multiple Sclerosis: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, New Rochelle, 2013)
The pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) involves several components: redox, inflammatory/autoimmune, vascular, and neurodegenerative. All of them are supported by the intertwined lines of evidence, and none of them ...
Further in vitro biological activity evaluation of amino-, thio- and ester-derivatives of avarol
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2016)
The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory and/or antitumour activities of amino-, thio- and ester-derivatives of avarol selected were evaluated for the first time at in vitro conditions. Avarol-3',4'-dithioglycol (1) and ...
Evaluation of genotoxic potential throughout the upper and middle stretches of Adige river basin
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
In this study a comprehensive genotoxicological survey throughout the upper and middle stretches of Adige river basin is presented. The study was carried out at 7 sites located along the Adige main course and one the most ...
The structural, electrical and optical properties of spark plasma sintered BaSn1-xSbxO3 ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Antimony doped barium-stannate dense ceramic materials were synthesized using spark plasma sintering technique out of mechanically activated precursor powders. The influence of various Sb concentrations (x = 0.00 - 0.10) ...
Determination of the sources of nitrate and the microbiological sources of pollution in the Sava River Basin
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2016)
Coupled measurements of nitrate (NO3-), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) isotopic composition (delta N-15(NO3) and delta O-18(NO3)) were used to investigate the sources and processes of N cycling, while the microbial source ...
Immobilization of cesium with alkali-activated blast furnace slag
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Alkali-activated binders (AABs), as a promising alternative to Portland cement, are now being used on a commercial scale in various applications around the world, including hazardous and radioactive waste immobilization. ...
Cell wall-bound cationic and anionic class III isoperoxidases of pea root: biochemical characterization and function in root growth
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2012)
Cell wall isolated from pea roots was used to separate and characterize two fractions possessing class III peroxidase activity: (i) ionically bound proteins and (ii) covalently bound proteins. Modified SDS-PAGE separated ...
Nitrate transport in cucumber leaves is an inducible process involving an increase in plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity and abundance
(Bmc, London, 2012)
Background: The mechanisms by which nitrate is transported into the roots have been characterized both at physiological and molecular levels. It has been demonstrated that nitrate is taken up in an energy-dependent way by ...
