Magnesium-deficient high-fat diet: effects on adiposity, lipid profile and insulin sensitivity in growing rats.

Clin. Nutr. 33(5) , 879-88, (2014)

To determine if magnesium deficiency aggravates the effects of a high-fat diet in growing rats in terms of obesity, lipid profile and insulin resistance.The study population comprised 48 newly weaned male Wistar Hannover rats distributed into four groups acco...

Nanodisco balls: control over surface versus core loading of diagnostically active nanocrystals into polymer nanoparticles.

ACS Nano 8(9) , 9143-53, (2014)

Nanoparticles of complex architectures can have unique properties. Self-assembly of spherical nanocrystals is a high yielding route to such systems. In this study, we report the self-assembly of a polymer and nanocrystals into aggregates, where the location o...

The role of amorphous precursors in the crystallization of La and Nd carbonates.

Nanoscale 7 , 12166-79, (2015)

Crystalline La and Nd carbonates can be formed from poorly-ordered nanoparticulate precursors, termed amorphous lanthanum carbonate (ALC) and amorphous neodymium carbonate (ANC). When reacted in air or in aqueous solutions these precursors show highly variabl...

[Reactive oxygen forms and Ca ions as possible intermediaries under the induction of heat resistance of plant cells by jasmonic acid].

Ukr. Biokhim. Zh. 85(3) , 62-8, (2013)

The participation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium ions in realization of influence of exogenous jasmonic acid (JA) on the heat resistance of wheat coleoptiles has been investigated. Influence of 1 microM JA caused the transitional intensifying of...

Lanthanum induced primary neuronal apoptosis through mitochondrial dysfunction modulated by Ca²⁺ and Bcl-2 family.

Biol. Trace Elem. Res. 152(1) , 125-34, (2013)

As a representative element of lanthanide, lanthanum has been widely used in various fields and eventually entered environment and accumulated in human body. Epidemiological and experimental evidences indicated that lanthanum has neurotoxicity; however, the d...

Lanthanum chloride promotes mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in primary cultured rat astrocytes.

Environ. Toxicol. 28(9) , 489-97, (2013)

Population surveys and animal experiments have shown that rare earth elements (REEs) cause neurological defects. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying these effects are still unclear. Given that lanthanum is commonly used for investigating into REEs-ind...

Combined effects of lanthanum (III) chloride and acid rain on photosynthetic parameters in rice.

Chemosphere 112 , 355-61, (2014)

Rare earth elements (REEs) pollution and acid rain are environmental issues, and their deleterious effects on plants attract worldwide attention. These two issues exist simultaneously in many regions, especially in some rice-growing areas. However, little is ...

Differential role of ethylene and hydrogen peroxide in dark-induced stomatal closure.

Pak. J. Biol. Sci. 16(24) , 1991-6, (2013)

Regulation of stomatal aperture is crucial in terrestrial plants for controlling water loss and gaseous exchange with environment. While much is known of signaling for stomatal opening induced by blue light and the role of hormones, little is known about the ...

A grape-enriched diet increases bone calcium retention and cortical bone properties in ovariectomized rats.

J. Nutr. 145(2) , 253-9, (2015)

Grapes and their associated phytochemicals have been investigated for beneficial effects on cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, and other chronic diseases, but the effect of grape consumption on bone health has not been fully determined. We previously f...

Gd(III) complexes intercalated into hydroxy double salts as potential MRI contrast agents.

Dalton Trans. 44 , 20728-34, (2015)

The ion exchange intercalation of two Gd-based magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents into hydroxy double salts (HDSs) is reported. The presence of Gd(3+) diethylenetriaminepentaacetate and Gd(3+) diethylenetriaminepenta(methylenephosphonate) complexes in...
