Acetaldehyde involvement in ethanol's postabsortive effects during early ontogeny [PDF]
Clinical and biomedical studies sustains the notion that early ontogeny is a vulnerable window to the impact of alcohol. Experiences with the drug during these stages increase latter disposition to prefer, use or abuse ethanol.

Characterization of peroxidase and catalase genes in defense mechanisms of Physcomitrella patens [PDF]
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and the hypersensitive response (HR) are two important induced defense mechanisms in plants. SAR is the development of an enhanced resistance to a pathogen due to a prior encounter.

Rat liver antioxidant response to iron and copper overloads [PDF]
The rat liver antioxidant response to Fe and Cu overloads (0–60 mg/kg) was studied. Dose- and time-responses were determined and summarized by t1/2 and C50, the time and the liver metal content for half maximal oxidative responses.

Electrochemical reduction of oxygen catalyzed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has already been shown to catalyze oxidation processes in the anode compartment of a microbial fuel cell. The present study focuses on the reverse capacity of the bacterium, i.e. reduction catalysis. Here we show that P. aeruginosa
