Recycling of PET Post-consumer Bottles: Effect of the Re-extrusion Process on the Structure, Thermal Properties, and Apparent Activation Energy [PDF]
Kemija u Industriji, 2023 In this work, post-consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bottles were gathered, separated from other materials, and re-extruded. In order to evaluate the effect of re-extrusion on the structure of PET, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was ...

Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 channels control the vascular contractility of mouse mesenteric arteries [PDF]
, 2014 Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 (TRPC3) channels are non-selective cation channels and regulate intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We examined the role of TRPC3 channels in agonist-, membrane depolarization (high K+)-, and mechanical ...

Mice lacking NF-κB1 exhibit marked DNA damage responses and more severe gastric pathology in response to intraperitoneal tamoxifen administration [PDF]
, 2017 Tamoxifen (TAM) has recently been shown to cause acute gastric atrophy and metaplasia in mice. We have previously demonstrated that the outcome of Helicobacter felis infection, which induces similar gastric lesions in mice, is altered by deletion of ...

Uric acid enhances longevity and endurance and protects the brain against ischemia [PDF]
, 2020 Among mammals, there is a positive correlation between serum uric acid (UA) levels and life span. Humans have high levels of UA because they lack a functional urate oxidase (UOX) enzyme that is present in shorter lived mammals.
