Abstract:
... Calcium pyruvate (CP), known as an energetic aid, has been shown to enhance lipid utilization and prevent obesity in mammals. However, very few studies were conducted to evaluate the potential implications of CP for aquatic animals. This study examined the role of CP on fat deposition in large yellow croaker by feeding fish with high-fat diets containing four levels of dietary CP (0, 0.375%, 0.75% ...
... Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) has been explored for the determination of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in air. Different extraction strategies (i.e., direct immersion, hard cap espresso, ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted extraction) and extracting solvents (i.e., citric acid, trisodium citrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, thiourea, disodium ...
... Malate, citrate, and quinate are the major organic acids in ripen peach fruit, the content of which undergoes considerable variations during fruit development and maturation. The molecular mechanisms underlying these variations remain largely unclear. In this study, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of two accessions in five developmental stages was performed to identify network ...

Abstract:
... Citrate (Ct) was chosen as a typical chelator used in the Fe²⁺−peroxydisulfate (PDS) process to improve sludge dewaterability. The PDS−Fe²⁺−Ct process exhibited better performance in sludge dewatering than PDS−Fe²⁺. Specifically, with a PDS dosage of 1.2mmol/g VS, the molar ratio of PDS/Fe²⁺ and Ct/Fe²⁺ were 4:5 and 1:4, respectively, the capillary suction time decreased from 155.8 to 24.8sec, and ...

Abstract:
... Recently, carbon materials have attracted much attention in activating persulfate (PS) for the removal of organic pollutants. Seeking a greener, lower-cost, and higher-performance carbon material has become an important aspect of research. In this study, candle soot was innovatively used as a nanocarbon material, and its performance for PS activation was improved by simple ammonium ferric citrate ...
... Clostridium sp. LQ25 was cultured in different forms of ferric (ferric citrate and ferric hydroxide) as electron acceptors to investigate growth, ferric reduction, hydrogen production, fermentation products and fermentation process. The growth of the strain LQ25 detected by protein was 82.8 ± 2.1 mg/L and 73.5 ± 1.7 mg/L using ferric citrate and ferric hydroxide as electron acceptors, which was 33 ...
... The growing evidences of resistant fungi stimulate fully understanding tebuconazole regarding its crystal structure on fungicidal activity. In this study, the crystal structures of six technical tebuconazoles (BX, HH, JP, QZ, SJ, and YT) were characterized by using high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction and three-dimensional crystal structure modeling. A structure-activity relationship of the te ...
... Health and longevity populations have distinct metabolic and nutrient intake profiles. However, the relationship between biomarkers of longevity-related metabolites and dietary nutrient intake profiles, as well as metabolic markers associated with longevity features, have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR)-based plasma metabolomics profiling was conducted ...
... An emerging hallmark of cancer is cellular metabolic reprogramming to adapt to varying cellular environments. Throughout the process of metastasis cancer cells gain anchorage independence which confers survival characteristics when detached from the extracellular matrix (ECM). Previous work demonstrates that the bioactive metabolite of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]₂D), suppresses c ...
... The volatile organic compounds produced by plants and microorganisms have been widely used for postharvest disease control due to their high antifungal capacity. In this research, a volatile product of citrate metabolism, 2,3-butanedione, was assayed against gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea on postharvest fruit. 2,3-Butanedione treatment exhibited a distinct inhibitory effect on colony growth, ...
... Declines in mitochondrial functions are associated with aging. The combination of 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA) and sodium ferrous citrate (SFC) improves mitochondrial functions in cultured cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with 5‐ALA and SFC (5‐ALA/SFC) on the healthspan and life span of Drosophila melanogaster. Adult Drosophila fruit flies were fed corn ...
... At a key branchpoint in wine oxidation, hydrogen peroxide reacts either with iron(II), leading to the Fenton oxidation of ethanol, or with sulfur dioxide, precluding oxidation. The fate of H₂O₂ was investigated in anoxic model wines with different pH and acid buffers. In the absence of SO₂, anoxic conditions allowed the stoichiometric production of acetaldehyde from H₂O₂ despite iron(II) being lim ...
... The interaction of soil organic matter (SOM) with Fe-containing minerals represents a key mechanism that promotes carbon (C) stabilisation in soil. The addition of Fe-rich industrial by-products to soil may therefore help accelerate C storage. Our understanding of the effects of exogenous Fe addition (Fe (oxy)hydroxide vs. Fe chloride) on SOM dynamics and C dynamics in agricultural soils, especial ...
... Nanoparticles of silver and gold have become widely researched as homogeneous catalysts for organic transformations. Silver systems have shown promising activity but are often hindered by their instability and difficulty in recycling. In this work we present nanoparticles of silver and gold, colloidally stabilized on aluminum oxide, and their performance as re-useable catalysts for the reduction o ...
... Among the functions exerted by eukaryotic lactate dehydrogenases, it is of importance the generation of lactate in muscles subjected to fatigue or to limited oxygen availability, with both these conditions triggering a decrease of cellular pH. However, the mutual dependence between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalytic action and lactic acidosis is far from being fully understood. Here we show tha ...
... Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and function and no pharmacological medication has been approved for its treatment. We established an atrogin-1/MAFbx promoter assay to find drug candidates that inhibit myotube atrophy. Alverine citrate (AC) was identified using high-throughput screening of an existing drug library. AC is an established medicine for stomach and intestinal spasms. ...
... HMF (hydroxymethylfurfural), a compound that occurs naturally in food, is derived from the dehydration of monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) in products subjected to high-temperature treatments or to aging processes. HMF can be obtained by acid-catalyzed dehydration of lignocellulosic biomasses such as sugarcane bagasse and other agricultural residues. In this work, analytical quantification o ...
