Green synthesis of CaCO nanoparticles for photocatalysis and cytotoxicity.

In this study, Gum Arabic natural polymer was used to green synthesize calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CaCO-NPs). Synthesized CaCO-NPs were identified using various analyses such as FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDX, and UV-Vis. The UV spectrum of nanoparticles showed an absorption band at a wavelength of 320 nm.

Association study to evaluate Foxo1 and Foxo3 gene polymorphisms in polycystic ovary syndrome: a preliminary case-control study and in silico analysis.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is known as a multifactorial and multi-gene-mediated endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age. FoxO1 and FoxO3 are members of the forkhead transcriptional factors family that play a pivotal role in the function of ovaries. The current work is aimed at investigating the association between gene variants of FoxO1 and FoxO3 and the risk of PCOS in a sample of the Iranian population.
