Interplay Between Bromine and Iodine in Oxidative Dehydrogenation

Iodine and Bromine speciation in snow

Halogen bonding in hypervalent iodine and bromine derivatives: halonium salts

Halogen bonds have been identified in a series of ionic compounds involving bromonium and iodonium cations and several different anions, some also containing hypervalent atoms. The hypervalent bromine and iodine atoms in the examined compounds are found to have positive σ-holes on the extensions of their covalent bonds, while the hypervalent atoms in the anions have negative σ-holes. The positi...

Interplay between Oxidative Stress and Metabolism in Signalling and Disease

It is well recognized that energy metabolism is linked to the production of reactive species and critical enzymatic processes allied to metabolic pathways can be affected by redox reactions. Both protein and lipid oxidation are involved in the aging process as well as the onset and progression of many age-related diseases. As such, the capacity to identify specific targets and detect subsequent...

The interplay between BDNF and oxidative stress in chronic schizophrenia.

Neurodegenerative processes may be involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the most widely distributed neurotrophin and oxidative stress (OS) may be critical for several pathological manifestations of neurodegenerative disorders. Accumulating evidence suggests that both BDNF and OS may be involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However,...

Interplay between Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Cardiometabolic Syndrome

Around 50–60% of adults in western countries are either overweight or obese with more than 25% falling into the obese category [1]. The metabolic imbalance underlying obesity has fueled the prevalence of cardiometabolic syndrome— a constellation of interrelated risk factors of metabolic origins that together promote the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type II diabetes [2]. Th...
