Selenium Supplementation Improved Cardiac Functions by Suppressing DNMT2-Mediated Promoter DNA Methylation in AGE-Induced Heart Failure.

Objective: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are featured metabolites associated with diabetic cardiomyopathy which is characterized by heart failure caused by myocyte apoptosis. Selenium was proved cardioprotective. This study was aimed at investigating the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of selenium supplementation on AGE-induced heart failure.

Enhanced reductive debromination of decabromodiphenyl ether by organic-attapulgite supported Fe/Pd nanoparticles: Synergetic effect and mechanism.

Effective removal of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) from the environment is essential for the ecosystem and human health. Reductive debromination of PBDEs by nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) has become an important technology. However, the agglomeration and low persistence catalytic activity of nZVI particles have become urgent problems to be improved.
