Antioxidant and pH-dependent cationic and anionic dye degradation activities of optimum synthesized organic@inorganic Cu hybrid nanoflowers.

First time in this study, hybrid Cu nanoflowers (Cu hNFs) were synthesized with algae extract and the pH-dependent catalytic activities of hNFs synthesized under optimum conditions against brilliant blue and methylene blue dyes were determined. Ideal morphology of hNFs, were synthesized by using 1 ml extract in PBS (pH 7.4).

Medicinal evaluation and molecular docking study of osajin as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic agent against sepsis-associated acute kidney injury in rats.

Despite efforts to find effective drugs for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), mortality rates in patients with SA-AKI have not decreased. Our study evaluated the protective effects of isoflavone osajin (OSJ) on SA-AKI in rats by targeting inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, which represent the cornerstones in the pathophysiological mechanism of SA-AKI. Polymicrobial sepsis was induced in rats the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) technique.

Thyroid hormones and ovarian reserve: a comprehensive study of women seeking infertility care.

Background: Ovarian reserve is the number of oocytes remaining in the ovary and is one of the most important aspects of a woman's reproductive potential. Research on the association between thyroid dysfunction and ovarian reserve has yielded controversial results. In our study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and ovarian reserve markers.

Resistance of Primary Photosynthesis to Photoinhibition in Antarctic Lichen : Photoprotective Mechanisms Activated during a Short Period of High Light Stress.

The Antarctic lichen, , in its hydrated state has several physiological mechanisms to cope with high light effects on the photosynthetic processes of its photobionts. We aim to investigate the changes in primary photochemical processes of photosystem II in response to a short-term photoinhibitory treatment. Several chlorophyll fluorescence techniques: (1) slow Kautsky kinetics supplemented with quenching mechanism analysis; (2) light response curves of photosynthetic electron transport (ETR); and (3) response curves of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) were used in order to evaluate the phenomenon of photoinhibition of photosynthesis and its consequent recovery.

Formation of Umbilicaria decussata (Antarctic and Turkey) Extracts Based Nanoflowers with Their Peroxidase Mimic, Dye Degradation and Antimicrobial Properties.

This work describes a unique and environmentally friendly approach for creating three-dimensional (3D) organic-inorganic flower shaped hybrid nanostructures called "nanoflower (NF)" by using Umbilicaria decussate (U. decussate) extract and copper ions (Cu ). U.
