IN the first paper of this series an account was given of some sterol tests in which blue colours were obtained very similar in appearance to those given by arsenic trichloride or antimony trichloride with cod-liver oil, and attributed to vitamin A. On account of this close resemblance, it appeared desirable next to undertake a spectroscopic study of the "vitamin" colours with the object of dis...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of chromium malate on glycometabolism, glycometabolism-related enzyme levels and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic rats, and dose-response and curative effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS The model of type 2 diabetes rats was developed, and daily treatment with chromium malate was given for 4 weeks. A rat enzyme-linked immun...

indium is a heavy metal belonging to group iiia. it is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism from the sites of absorption, transportation, utilization and storage in the cells. the present investigation was established to study and compare the binding of iron and indium to human apo-transferrin (apo-tf). pure human apo-tf was used and the binding activity of iron and indium, a...

In the title molecule, C(9)H(3)Cl(3)O(3), there are three short interactions involving the benzene H atoms and the chloro-formyl Cl atoms. In the crystal, mol-ecules stack along the a axis with no significant non-bonded inter-actions.

Indium is a heavy metal belonging to group IIIa. It is used as a radioimaging and chemotherapeutic agent in diagnosis and also in the treatment of cancers. It is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism and reduce cell growth in cancer tissue. The present report was established to study the binding of iron and indium to apo-transferrin (apo-tf) and to identify amino acids involv...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the genotoxic effects of indium trichloride (InCl(3)·4H(2)O; InCl(3)) using the in vivo bone marrow micronucleus test and the in vitro CHL/IU cell micronucleus test. METHOD BALB/c mice were administered a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of InCl (3) at a dose 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg b.w. The frequency of micronuclei, the rati...

Half-metallicity combined with wide half-metallic gap, unique ferromagnetic character and high Curie temperature has become a key driving force to develop next-generation spintronic devices. In previous studies, such half-metallicity always occurred under certain manipulation. Here, we, via examining a series of two-dimensional transition-metal trichlorides, evidenced that TiCl3 and VCl3 sheets...

TiCl3 and NH3 form octaammine titanium(III) chloride ammonia (1/6), [Ti(NH3)8]Cl3·6NH3, which is the first structurally characterized octaammine complex of a transition metal. An excess of TiCl3 reacts with UF4 in liquid NH3 and forms octaammine fluorido uranium(IV) chloride ammonia (1/3.5), [UF(NH3)8]Cl3·3.5NH3. It shows a distorted threefold-capped trigonal-prismatic coordination sphere aroun...
