So, let's recap. Oxidation-reduction reactions involve the gaining and losing of electrons by reactants. They're called redox reactions for short. An easy way to remember this is by using the mnemonic device 'LEO the lion says GER. ' LEO stands for lose electrons oxidation, while GER sta...
Photoaging is mainly induced by continuous exposure to sun light, causing multiple unwanted skin characters and accelerating skin aging. Adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs) are promising in supporting skin repair because of their significant antioxidant ca
This makes the redox system a natural target for wound-healing therapy14,15. Indeed, topical application of compounds with antioxidant properties such as curcumin-loaded poly (lactic acid) nanofibers16, chitosan-loaded eugenol17, and citrate-based hydrogels18 have demonstrated benefits in wound ...
The addition of H2O2also enhanced CH3Br and CH3Cl production in both live and autoclaved soils (Fig.2), but not as large as those caused by the addition of Cu(II). However, H2O2amplified the effect of Cu(II) on CH3Cl and CH3Br production in both live and autoclaved soil samples (Fig...
Medical gases are pharmaceutical molecules which offer solutions to a wide array of medical needs. This can range from use in burn and stroke victims to hypoxia therapy in children. More specifically however, gases such as oxygen, helium, xenon, and hydr
Gami-Cheongyeul-Sodok-Eum (GCSE), an herbal formula of traditional Korean medicine, comprises nine herb components. GCSE has various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities. However, it is still unclear w
A sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) shuttle electrons down a series of redox reactions that release energy used to produce ATP. (B) Schematic of three types of crystallized monoclinic VO2 particles against bacteria strains, the influence of monoclinic VO2 particle parameters ...
PARK7 mutations, altered expression and posttranslational modification (PTM) cause DJ-1 abnormalities, which in turn lead to downstream mechanisms shared by most NDs, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, protein aggregation, autophagy defects, and so on. The knowledge of DJ-1 derived...
3Laboratory for Applied PK/PD, Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA Aim: To evaluate the lipid-regulating effects of extract from Ginkgo biloba leaves (EGB) using pharmacological methods and metabo- nomic profiling in a rat model of diet-...
Agro-researchers are endlessly trying to derive a potential biomolecule having antifungal properties in order to replace the application of synthetic fungicides on agricultural fields. Rot disease often caused by Fusarium solani made severe loss of wheat
