Selenium Biofortification of Vegetables Grown in Calcareous Soil: A Pot Experiment Using Se as a Tracer.

Dietary selenium (Se) is vital for human health and can be provided through consumption of Se-rich vegetables. Soil Se is often poorly available and so biofortification using Se-enriched fertilizers is used to enhance dietary intake. This study aimed to (a) evaluate the feasibility of biofortifying vegetables, commonly grown in the calcareous soils of Kurdistan, with a single application of Se (10 g ha) as selenate and, (b) trace the fate of applied Se using an enriched stable isotope, ⁷⁷Se.

Synthesis, docking and characterization of some novel 5-(S-alkyl)-1.3.4-thiadiazole-2-carboxamide derivatives as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents.

Because of the great pharmacological and industrial significance of 1,3,4-thiadiazole and its related compounds, researchers are still very interested in them. For this reason, in this study, we looked at ways to create new hybrid compounds containing carboxamide and 1,3,4-thiadiazole moieties. The thioxoacetamide derivatives used to make these compounds were reacted with various alkylated reagents to produce multiple S-alkyl groups.

Shedding light on subiculum's role in human brain disorders.

Subiculum is a pivotal output component of the hippocampal formation, a structure often overlooked in neuroscientific research. Here, this review aims to explore the role of the subiculum in various brain disorders, shedding light on its significance within the functional-neuroanatomical perspective on neurological diseases. The subiculum's involvement in multiple brain disorders was thoroughly examined.

Protocol for induction of heterosynaptic long-term potentiation in the mouse hippocampus via dual-opsin stimulation technique.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is the most abundant neuropeptide that broadly regulates the physiological status of animals. Here, we present a two-color laser theta burst stimulation (L-TBS) protocol for simultaneous activation of Schaffer collateral and perforant pathway in the hippocampus of CCK Cre mice. We describe steps for heterosynaptic long-term potentiation induction by L-TBS.
