Plasma vitamin C concentrations (mean + SD) were measured after a large (1 g) dose of vitamin C was administered orally or intravenously to each of four trained greyhounds in a randomized cross-over design. Concentrations increased (p<0.05) for 2 h but returned to baseline by 6 h after supplementation. Peak concentrations were greater (p<0.01) after intravenous than oral administration (6.1+/-1.2 vs. 0.54+/-0.23 mg/dl). This suggests that vitamin C must be administered many times daily to maintain plasma concentrations above normal.

High intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important risk factor for glaucoma, which is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, the etiology of high IOP remains uncertain. Metabolites are compounds involved in metabolism which provide a link between the internal (genetic) and external environments.

Background: Real-time and rapid detection of ingredients in food has important significance for food safety. However, traditional detection methods not only require bulky and costly instruments but also are often based on single-mode analysis, limiting their accuracy and applications in point-of-care testing. Herein, an integrated and miniaturized dual-mode device based on colorimetric and photoacoustic (PA) principles is developed, using Au@Ag nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) as signal probe and ascorbic acid (AA) and ascorbate oxidase (AAO) as analytes.

Flexible sweat sensors play a crucial role in health monitoring and disease prevention by enabling real-time, non-invasive assessment of human physiological conditions. Sweat contains a variety of biomarkers, offering valuable insights into an individual's health status. In this study, we developed an advanced flexible electrochemical sensor featuring reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based electrodes, modified with a composite material comprising nitrogen and sulfur co-doped holey graphene (HG) and MXene, with in-situ-grown TiO nanoparticles on the MXene.

In this study, the effects of ultrasound treatment on bioactive components and functional properties of hawthorn vinegar (Crataegus tanacetifolia) were investigated. Parameters such as total phenolic compound (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), ascorbic acid (AA), DPPH radical scavenging activity and CUPRAC reducing capacity were optimised by surface response method (RSM) and 14 min duration and 61.40 % amplitude were determined as the most suitable treatment conditions.

Two novel 3D inorganic-organic hybrids based on [VO]/[VO] clusters, [Cu(bbpy)(VO)]·3HO () and [CuAg(pty)(VO)]·HO () (bbpy = 3,5-bis(1-benzimidazole) pyridine, pty = 4'-(4″-pyridyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine), were isolated in the same POV/Cu/N-heterocycle ligand reaction systems. Hybrids and possess novel three-dimensional bimetallic frameworks derived from [VO]/[VO] clusters and Cu-organic complexes. In , bbpy ligands are grafted by Cu to a grid ribbon 2D sheet, which are connected with benzene-like [VO] to yield a 3D framework.
