This study was aimed at defining the role of active phases in supported LiCl and LiCl–DyCl3 catalysts in the catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of n-butane. LiCl supported on silica displayed the highest activity and selectivity in n-butane ODH compared with other alkali metal halides. Addition of DyCl3 increased the activity. TPO, XRD and Raman light scattering (RLS) data showed that Li...

AIM Menstrual blood derived stem cells (MenSCs) are unique stem cells that have been isolated and identified recently. The special traits of MenSCs can be related to the cell signaling pathways. In this study, in order to find out the role of Wnt signaling on MenSCs proliferation, we evaluated ß-catenin expression as a key participant in Wnt signaling pathway in response to Lithium chloride (Li...

In rats, central administration of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) elicits symptoms of visceral illness like those caused by the toxin lithium chloride (LiCl), including anorexia, conditioned taste aversion (CTA) formation, and neural activation in the hypothalamus and hindbrain including activation of brainstem preproglucagon cells. Most compellingly, pharmacological antagonists of the GLP-1 r...

Abstract Rheology is a science that studies the flow and deformation of materials relationships between various factors cause them to deform. Finding relationship stress strain, or rate both, during fluid core issue rheology research. In this study, composite hydrogel with good conductivity based on polyacrylamide (PAM) lithium chloride (LiCl) was introduced. This PAM-LiCl conductive also highl...

The effect of canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling on chondrogenic differentiation induced by transfection of BMP4 expressing plasmid was analyzed. Lithium chloride (LiCl) which mimics canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling was added to cells transfected with BMP4 expressing plasmid. Although BMP4 mRNA expression was not affected by LiCl, LiCl decreased BMP4 protein accumulation. Gene expression analys...

In the present study, lithium chloride (LiCl) was utilized as a modifier to reduce the melting point of polyamide 6 (PA6), and then 15 wt % microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was compounded with low melting point PA6/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) by hot pressing. Crystallization analysis revealed that as little as 3 wt % LiCl transformed the crystallographic forms of PA6 from semi-crystalline ...

The oxide fuel reduction process, based on an electrochemical method as well as the long-lived radioactive nuclides partitioning process based on pyroprocessing, which are being developed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), are to generate molten salt wastes such as a LiCl salt and a LiCl-KCl eutectic salt, respectively. The treatment process of waste LiCl salt, consisting of...

Acute injection of a high dose of lithium chloride (LiCl) increases c-Fos expression in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA). We investigated if LiCl-induced c-Fos expression in the CeA is correlated with histone acetylation and phospho-acetylation. Chromatin modifications such as acetylation and phosphorylation are necessary for optimal gene expression, and gene expression may be increase...
