Sebzeler, insan beslenmesinin hayati bir bileşeni olan önemli tarımsal üründür. Yaygın olarak tüketilen domateste toksik elementlerin varlığı, olası olumsuz sağlık etkileri nedeniyle büyük endişe kaynağıdır. Bu çalışmada, farklı pazarlardan temin edilen 18 adet domates örneğinin kadmiyum ve kurşun içeriği araştırıldı. Örneklerdeki element konsantrasyonları, İndüktif Eşleşmiş Plazma Kütle Spektr...

Some cyclic molecules have been proposed as liquid-organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) due to their ability undergo dehydrogenation reversibly, with ones containing nitrogen in the ring showing special stability. Here, we examined one of these, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ), for use an endothermic fuel thermal protection hypersonic aircraft engines. The conversion and heats reaction were measu...

To date, the effects of ocean acidification on toxic metals accumulation and the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown in marine bivalve species. In the present study, the effects of the realistic future ocean pCO2 levels on the cadmium (Cd) accumulation in the gills, mantle and adductor muscles of three bivalve species, Mytilus edulis, Tegillarca granosa, and Meretrix meretrix, were i...

The promoter of the human dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene contains two consensus binding sites for the DNA binding protein Spl. DNAse protection and gel mobility shift assays demonstrate binding of recombinant Spl to both decanucleotide Spl binding sequences which are located 49 and 14 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site. The more distal of the two binding sites exhibits a s...

Purpose: The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been suggested to be involved in chronic subjective tinnitus. Tinnitus may arise from aberrant functional coupling between the ACC and cerebral cortex. To explore this hypothesis, we used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to illuminate the functional connectivity (FC) network of the ACC subregions in chronic tinnitus pati...

Plasmodium parasites contain several unique membrane compartments in which prenylated proteins may play important roles in pathogenesis. Protein prenylation has also been proposed as an antimalarial drug target because farnesyltransferase inhibitors cause potent growth inhibition of blood-stage Plasmodium However, the specific prenylated proteins that mediate antimalarial activity have yet to b...

The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of selected metal concentrations (Cd, Pb, Cr and Fe) in the muscles of five fish species (Sander lucioperca, Liza auratus, Alosa caspia, Cyprinus carpio and Liza saliens) from Gorgan Bay the south-eastern Caspian Sea, in order to assess health risk to the human via fish consumption by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotome...

The present study investigated the total elemental composition (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Al, S, B, Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, S) in smooth scallop (Flexopecten glaber) meat collected monthly Çardak Lagoon (Turkey) 2017- 2018. Considering distribution of elements terms quantity during year, were sorted as S> Na> K> P> Mg> Ca> Fe> Zn> Mn> Al> B> Cu> Se and heavy metals below det...

Attempts have been made to identify factors that moderate the effects of trauma and are associated with higher ratings of life satisfaction among trauma-exposed individuals (Pruneau, 2009; Rapaport et al., 2005; Zatzick et al., 1997). This literature has produced much data on the moderating effects of social support in relation to trauma/PTSD symptoms, post-trauma impairment, and life satisfact...
