Risk Assessment of Psychotropic Drugs on Mitochondrial Function Using In Vitro Assays
Mitochondria are potential targets responsible for some drug- and xenobiotic-induced organ toxicities. However, molecular mechanisms of drug-induced mitochondrial toxicities are mostly unknown.

Impact of land use on soils microbial activity
The article considered the influence the various types of land use on microbial activity of soils and thus using this parameter as a universal test of soil quality. Samples for soil respiration studies were taken from agricultural areas, meadows, forests

Comparison of Soil Biological Activity in Forest with Coniferous and Broadleaf Trees in Biston Region of Kermanshah [PDF]
IntroductionThe maintenance of planted forests in arid and semi-arid lands is important. Soil formation in forest ecosystems is different with different tree species. Tree species have a direct and indirect effect on soil organisms.

Soil biological activity under different land-uses in Leyte Philippines
On seven sites in Western Leyte, Philippines, different land uses, namely reforestation with indigenous tree species (‘rainforestation’), reforestation with exotic tree specie Gmelina arborea, and traditional fallow/grassland use were compared with ...

Temporal variation and climate dependence of soil respiration and its components along a 3000 m altitudinal tropical forest gradient [PDF]
To simulate the effect of temperature on soil respiration rates, we translocated soil cores among four sites (3030, 1500, 1000, and 200 m asl) along an altitudinal tropical forest gradient in the Peruvian Andes, traversing a difference in mean annual ...

Comparative Assessment of the Effect of Synthetic and Natural Fungicides on Soil Respiration
As toxic pesticide residues may persist in agricultural soils and cause environmental pollution, research on natural fungicides to replace the synthetic compounds is currently increasing. The effect of the synthetic fungicide chlorothalonil and a natural

Ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) preserves mitochondrial bioenergetics
The ketogenic diet is an emerging therapeutic approach for refractory epilepsy, as well as certain rare and neurodegenerative disorders. The main ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), is the primary energy substrate endogenously produced in a ketogenic ...
