Propionic acid (PA) is a short chain fatty acid, a common food preservative and metabolic end product of enteric bacteria in the gut. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of PA on liver injury in male rats. Male western albino rats were divided into two groups. The first group served as normal control, the second was treated with PA. The activities of serum hepatospecific ...

A multiwall carbon nanotubes-modified carbon paste electrode (MWCNTs/MCPE) wasfabricated and used to study the electrooxidation of penicillamine (PA) by electrochemicalmethods in the presence of methyldopa (MDOP) as a homogeneous mediator. Theelectrochemical oxidation of PA on the new sensor has been carefully studied. The kineticparameters such as electron transfer coefficient, α, and catalyti...
