Fine-tuning nanoflower-like Fe/Co hybrids with high content oxyhydroxide accelerating oxygen evolution kinetics.

Iron hydroxide (FeOOH) is a potential active component in iron-based electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. However, its catalytic performance is constrained by its slow oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics. Herein, we synthesized a nanoflower-like FeCo-hydro(oxy)oxides composite with tunable Fe/Co ratios (Fe-Co) on nickel foam (NF) via a one-step electrodeposition technique.

High Glucose Promotes CD36 Expression by Upregulating Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Levels to Exacerbate Lipid Deposition in Renal Tubular Cells.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) appears to be closely related to lipid deposition in kidney. The aim of this study was to determine whether high glucose (HG) exacerbated lipid deposition by increasing CD36 expression via AKT-PPAR signaling pathway. Our results showed that HG activated AKT signaling pathway, followed by an increase in PPAR that induced CD36 overexpression, ultimately causing lipid deposition in HK-2 cells.
