In Situ-Formed CrO Coating on NaCrO with Improved Sodium Storage Performance.

CrO is generally considered as an impurity phase with negative effects on the electrochemical performance of NaCrO because it may cause a certain degree of capacity loss. In this study, however, we have found the bright side of CrO as a protective coating material, which greatly improves the Na storage capability, especially the cycling stability, of NaCrO. After 1000 cycles at 10C, a capacity of 100.

Bioactive peptides attenuate cardiac apoptosis in spontaneously hypertensive rat hearts through activation of autophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis pathway.

Alcalase potato protein hydrolysate (APPH) might have a very important role in therapeutic effects. This study aims to examine the beneficial effects of bioactive peptides (DIKTNKPVIF [DI] and IF) from APPH supplement in the regulation of cardiac apoptosis, autophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis pathway in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We have investigated ejection fraction, fractional shortening, Tunel assay, apoptosis, autophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis pathway marker expression to show the efficacy of bioactive peptides in an SHR model.

Bioactive peptides attenuate cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in spontaneously hypertensive rat hearts.

Alcalase potato protein hydrolysate (APPH), a nutraceutical food, might an have important role in anti-obesity activity. Recent studies from our lab indicated that APPH treatment had lipolysis stimulating activity and identified was an efficient anti-obesity diet ingredient. In this study we aim to investigate the beneficial effects of pure peptide amino acid sequences (DIKTNKPVIF (DI) and IF) from APPH supplement in the regulation of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

Surface Li/K Exchange toward Double-Gradient Modification of Layered Li-Rich Cathode Materials.

Surface coating and lattice doping are widely used to enhance the interfacial and structural stabilities of LiNiCoMnO (LNCM). In this paper, KF is used to modify LNCM for the first time. A Li/K exchange in the Li slabs is realized via a high-temperature treatment.
