Arsenic (As) contamination in rice poses a significant threat to human health due to its toxicity and widespread consumption. Identifying and manipulating key genes governing As accumulation in rice is crucial for reducing this threat. The large NIP gene family of aquaporins in rice presents a promising target due to functional redundancy, potentially allowing for gene manipulation without compromising plant growth.

Apelin, an endogenous ligand for APJ receptors, causes nitric oxide (NO)-dependent relaxation of coronary arteries. Little is known about the effects of apelin/APJ receptor signaling in the coronary circulation under pathological conditions. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the vasorelaxing effect of apelin is impaired by cigarette smoke extract (CSE), an established model for second-hand smoke exposure.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores a sustainable method for extracting lipids from hypersaline microalgae using switchable solvents (DMBA, DMCHA, DIPEA), highlighting their potential as green alternatives in algal biorefineries.
  • The results show varying lipid yields for different microalgae species, with DMBA achieving the highest yields at 41.9% for Chlorella sp. NITT 05 within 1 hour of extraction.
  • The fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis indicates a significant presence of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, supporting the conclusion that Chlorella sp. NITT 05 and Picochlorum sp. NITT 04 are promising candidates for biod

Apelin has complex vasomotor actions inasmuch as the peptide may cause either vasodilation or vasoconstriction depending on the vascular bed and experimental conditions. In cerebral arteries, apelin inhibits endothelium-dependent relaxations mediated by nitric oxide (NO); however, its effects on relaxation to other endothelium-derived substances (e.g.

Selection of indigenous and potential algal strain with high lipid content is paramount challenge in the avenues of microalgal biodiesel production. Particularly, hyper lipid producing algae with maximal triacyglycerols (TAGs) content and preferable fatty acid composition is of interest for sustainable biodiesel. Hence, the present study on comparative assessment of Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus sp.
