Plasma-activated water effectively decontaminates steamed rice cake

LWT, 2022
Abstract This study investigated the effects of plasma-activated water (PAW) treatment parameters on the inactivation of indigenous mesophilic aerobic bacteria and coliform bacteria on steamed rice cake (SRC). PAW treatment was conducted by washing SRC with PAW, prepared by treating sterilized distilled water with surface dielectric barrier discharge

Characterization of three vasopressin receptor 2 variants: an apparent polymorphism (V266A) and two loss-of-function mutations (R181C and M311V). [PDF]

, 2013
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is released from the posterior pituitary and controls water homeostasis. AVP binding to vasopressin V2 receptors (V2Rs) located on kidney collecting duct epithelial cells triggers activation of Gs proteins, leading to increased
