- Abstract:
- ... Curcumin is a bioactive polyphenol, which presents several medicinal benefits such as antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, antimalarial, and antioxidant activity. Despite the benefits, the main barrier in curcumin use by pharmaceutical industry is its low solubility in water medium and hence low bioavailability. The cocrystallization process is characterized by the incidence of m ...

- Abstract:
- ... Bioaccessibility (BAC) of fine surface dust (FSD, particle size ≤10 μm) and surface dust samples (particle size ≤250 μm) collected from a gold mining district was used as a tool to determine the portion of arsenic that would be available via simulated lung and gastrointestinal (G.I) fluids. BAC was considered low for both tests (lung 2.7 ± 1%, n = 5 and G.I 3.4 ± 2%, n = 14 for residential surface ...

- Abstract:
- ... Despite arsenic (As) being very toxic with deleterious effects on metabolism, it can be tolerated and accumulated by some plants. General genetic mechanisms responsible for As tolerance in plants, including Salix species, have been described in transcriptomic analysis, but further experimental verification of the significance of particular transcripts is needed. In this study, a Salix atrocinerea ...

In the tropics, continental weathering and erosion are major sources of trace metals towards estuaries and lagoons, where early diagenesis of sediments may influence their mobility and bioavailability. Determining trace metals speciation in tropical sedimentary settings is thus needed to assess their long-term fate and potential threat to fragile coastal ecosystems. In this study, we determined Fe ...

With high degree of branching (DB), HBPSs mainly exist in the form of either a comb-brush shape, dendrimer-like particulate, or globular particle. HBPSs also possess some unique properties, such as high dens ...

Polar transformation products (TPs) are more mobile, and can be considered emerging contaminants, as they represent a more bioavailable carrier of the same toxic properties. Acidic TPs has been proposed as an important class of polar TPs. This study presents a tiered analytical ...
