The Electrochemical Detection of Ochratoxin A in Apple Juice via MnCO Nanostructures Incorporated into Carbon Fibers Containing a Molecularly Imprinting Polymer.

A novel electrochemical sensor based on MnCO nanostructures incorporated into carbon fibers (MnCONS/CF), including a molecularly imprinting polymer (MIP), was developed for the determination of Ochratoxin A (OTA). In this study, a sensitive and selective sensor design for OTA detection was successfully performed by utilizing the selectivity and catalysis properties of MIP and the synthesized MnCONS/CF material at the same time. MnCO nanostructures incorporated into carbon fibers were first characterized by using various analytical techniques.

Bisphenol A Imprinted Electrochemical Sensor Based on Graphene Quantum Dots with Boron Functionalized g-CN in Food Samples.

A molecular imprinted electrochemical sensor based on boron-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (B-g-CN) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) was presented for selective determination of bisphenol A (BPA). In particular, by combining the selectivity and high stability properties, which are the most important advantages of molecular imprinted polymers, and the highly sensitive properties of GQDs/B-g-CN nanocomposite, a highly selective and sensitive analytical method was developed for BPA analysis. Firstly, GQDs/B-g-CN nanocomposite was characterized by using microscopic, spectroscopic, and electrochemical techniques.

Transient receptor potential channel stimulation induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in the colon of mice with colitis-associated colon cancer: modulator role of Sambucus ebulus L.

Background: Increased Ca entry causes an increase in tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, cytosolic reactive free oxygen species (cyROS), and mitochondrial ROS (miROS) in tumor cells. The cyROS and miROS stimulate the cation channels, including the TRPA1, TRPM2, and TRPV1. Sambucus ebulus L (SEB) (Dwarf Elder) induced both antioxidant and anticancer effects in the human hepatocarcinoma and human colon carcinoma cancer cell lines.

Investigation of protective effect of L-carnitine on L-asparaginase-induced acute pancreatic injury in male Balb/c mice.

Introduction: The present analysis deals with the biochemical and histopathological effects of L-carnitine in mice with L-asparaginase (ASNase)-induced experimental acute pancreatic injury (API).

Methods: A total of 32 male Balb/c mice were divided into four groups as follows. Group I (control) was injected with single saline via the intraperitoneal route.

Protective effect of omega-3 fatty acid against mercury chloride intoxication in mice.

The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of omega-3 fatty acid in HgCI2 toxicity in mice. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), nitric oxide (NO) and total sialic acid (TSA), and histopathological changes in selected organs were evaluated. Twenty-eight mice were equally divided into 4 groups, namely Groups I-IV.
