Short‐term actions of epigalocatechin‐3‐gallate in the liver: a mechanistic insight into hypoglycemic and potential toxic effects

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG) acutely inhibited gluconeogenesis and enhanced glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and fatty acid oxidation in perfused rat livers. Mechanistic assays revealed mitochondrial uncoupling, inhibition of pyruvate carboxylation and glucose‐6‐phosphatase, shift of NADH/NAD+ ratios toward oxidation, and loss of membrane integrity ...

Tryptophan metabolite atlas uncovers organ, age, and sex‐specific variations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Tryptophan metabolites were analyzed across twelve organs, the central nervous system, and serum in male and female mice at three life stages. We found tissue‐, sex‐, and age‐specific differences, including increased indole‐3‐pyruvate and kynurenine in aging males.

SEM investigation of interfaces after simultaneous contact of Cu-20Ti and Cu melts with zirconia ceramic [PDF]

Journal of Chemistry Letters
The interfaces for a cooled sample after simultaneous contact of the adhesively active copper-titanium melt and of inert copper melt with ZrO2-ceramic (Cu-20Ti / ZrO2 / Cu system) were investigated using SEM analysis.

Nonequilibrium wetting

, 2009
When a nonequilibrium growing interface in the presence of a wall is considered a nonequilibrium wetting transition may take place. This transition can be studied trough Langevin equations or discrete growth models.

Adaptive Wetting of Polydimethylsiloxane

Langmuir, 2020
To better understand the wetting of cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), we measured advancing and receding contact angles of sessile water drops on cross-linked PDMS as a function of contact line velocity (up to 100 μm/s).

Production of antibacterial compounds by a Steely hybrid polyketide synthase in Dictyostelium

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
By selecting appropriate production species under optimised culture conditions, new chlorinated dibenzofuran compounds, which previously could not be analysed in sufficient quantities, were identified from cellular slime mould fruiting bodies. The strong antibacterial activity exhibited by these compounds suggests a link to the ecological function of ...

Determination of contact angle hysteresis of water microdroplets evaporating on hydrolyzed PET foils [PDF]

Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2013
Moderately hydrophobic surfaces of PET foils were gradually hydrophilized by their immersion in NaOH solutions of increasing concentration. Then, the contact angle and geometric factors of microliter water drops, deposited on these polymer surfaces, were

Functionalization of a Hydrophilic Commercial Membrane Using Inorganic-Organic Polymers Coatings for Membrane Distillation

Applied Sciences, 2017
Membrane distillation is a thermal separation technique using a microporous hydrophobic membrane. One of the concerns with respect to the industrialization of the technique is the development of novel membranes.

Joining of Metal to Ceramic Plate Using Super-Spread Wetting

Metals, 2020
Ceramic-metal composites with novel performance are desirable materials; however, differences in their properties result in difficulties in joining. In this study, the joining of metal to ceramic is investigated.
