An innovative homogeneous electrochemistry coupled with colorimetry dual-model sensing strategy for perfluorooctane sulfonate based on Cu@CuO aerogel nanozyme.

Mikrochim Acta

October 2024

School of the Environment and Safety Engineering, and Collaborative Innovation Center of Technology and Material of Water Treatment, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, 212013, PR China.

By preparing Cu@CuO aerogel as a nanozyme which exhibits prominent peroxidase-like (POD) activity, an innovative homogeneous electrochemistry (HEC) coupled with the colorimetry dual-model sensing strategy is proposed to detect perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) for the first time. Cu@CuO aerogel accelerates the oxidation process of colorless o-phenylenediamine to form yellow 2,3-diaminophenazinc (DAP), and meanwhile, DAP as an electroactive substance creates a reduction peak current upon the electrochemical measurements. Interestingly, in the presence of PFOS, the POD activity of Cu@CuO aerogel is inhibited since the specific coordination between PFOS and Cu(II) can cover the active sites, resulting in the color of the sensing system becoming light and the peak current of DAP decreasing.

Objective: Although abnormal lipid metabolism is one of the major risk factors for diabetes, the correlation between lipids and glucose is rarely discussed in the general population. The differences in lipid-glucose correlations across gender and ethnicity have been even more rarely studied. We examined the association between fasting blood glucose (FBG) and lipids, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and apolipoprotein B (ApoB), using 6,093 participants aged 20 years or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
