The effects of smoothies on enamel erosion: an in situ study [PDF]
, 2012 Aims: To measure, in vitro, the pH and titratable acidity (TA) of various soft drinks and to assess the effect of smoothies on erosive tooth surface loss of enamel following a 21-day pH cycling protocol using an in situ model. Methods: The inherent pH of

Electrodeposited Fe-Co films prepared from a citric-acid-based plating bath [PDF]
, 2013 Electrodeposited Fe-Co films are commonly prepared in a boric-acid-based bath. In this research, we applied citric acid instead of boric acid for the plating of Fe-Co films because boron in the waste bath is restricted by environmental-protection ...

Mitochondrial composition and function under the control of hypoxia
Redox Biology, 2017 Hypoxia triggers several mechanisms to adapt cells to a low oxygen environment. Mitochondria are major consumers of oxygen and a potential source of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Direct Stimulation of Islet Insulin Secretion by Glycolytic and Mitochondrial Metabolites in KCl-Depolarized Islets. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We have previously demonstrated that islet depolarization with 70 mM KCl opens Cx36 hemichannels and allows diffusion of small metabolites and cofactors through the β-cell plasma membrane.
