Electrochemical Sensing of Serotonin by a Modified MnO-Graphene Electrode.

The development of MnO-graphene (MnOGR) composite by microwave irradiation method and its application as an electrode material for the selective determination of serotonin (SE), popularly known as "happy chemical", is reported. Anchoring MnO nanoparticles on graphene, yielded MnO-GR composite with a large surface area, improved electron transport, high conductivity and numerous channels for rapid diffusion of electrolyte ions. The composite was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for assessing the actual composition, structure and morphology.

Enhanced photocatalysis and anticancer activity of green hydrothermal synthesized Ag@TiO nanoparticles.

Titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been doped with varying amounts (0.005, 0.010 and 0.

Bioprocess optimization and production of biosurfactant from an unexplored substrate: Parthenium hysterophorus.

Biosurfactants are one among the best alternative for synthetic surfactants that are exploited by many researchers. Several agro wastes help to reduce the cost biosurfactants by being renewable and economical. The present research focuses on the biosurfactant production from Pseudomonas mosselii utilizing Parthenium hysterophorus as a relatively cheap substrate.

Effect of selenium supplementation on the glutathione redox system in the kidney of mice after chronic cadmium exposures.

This study pertains to the role of selenium against the toxic manifestations of chronic cadmium exposure. The kidney is a recognized target organ for chronic cadmium exposure, owing to the very long half-life of cadmium. Cadmium (as cadmium chloride) in a dose of 8 mg kg-1 body wt.
