Androgenic activation, impairment of the monoaminergic system and altered behavior in zebrafish larvae exposed to environmental concentrations of fenitrothion
(Elsevier, 2021-06-25)
Fenitrothion is an organophosphorus insecticide usually found in aquatic ecosystems at concentrations in the range of low ng/L. In this manuscript we show that 24 h exposure to environmental concentrations ...
Preparation and applications of organo-silica hybrid mesoporous silica nanoparticles for the co-delivery of drugs and nucleic acids
(MDPI, 2020-12)
Combination therapies rely on the administration of more than one drug, with independent mechanisms of action, aiming to enhance the efficiency of the treatment. For an optimal performance, the ...
Women leading the audit process and audit fees: A European study
(Elsevier, 2022-12-17)
This study investigates if a gender effect exists on the audit fees associated with the presence of women in roles closely related to the audit process. The analysis is based on the largest European ...
A study of deformation and strain induced in bulk by the oxide layers formation on a Fe-Cr-Al alloy in high-temperature liquid Pb-Bi eutectic
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)
At elevated temperatures, heavy liquid metals and their alloys are known to create a highly corrosive environment that causes irreversible degradation of most iron-based materials. It has been found ...
Estudio de la producción de aflatoxinas B1, G1, B2 y G2 en semillas de anacardo por parte de Aspergillus parasiticus CECT 2681 mediante cromatografía líquida de ultra-alta resolución
(Asociación de Químicos e Ingenieros del Instituto Químico de Sarrià, 2013-07)
En este trabajo se pone a punto un método de cromatografía líquida de ultra-alta resolución para el análisis de aflatoxinas en semillas de anacardo. El tiempo de análisis cromatográfico para la detección ...
Analytical parameters of a novel glucose biosensor based on grafted PFM as a covalent immobilization technique
(MDPI, 2021-06-15)
Bioanalytical methods, in particular electrochemical biosensors, are increasingly used in different industrial sectors due to their simplicity, low cost, and fast response. However, to be able to reliably ...
In silico discovery of substituted pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines and pentamidine-like compounds with biological activity in myotonic dystrophy models
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-06)
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a rare multisystemic disorder associated with an expansion of CUG repeats in mutant DMPK (dystrophia myotonica protein kinase) transcripts; the main effect of these ...
Arterial pulse attenuation prediction using the decaying rate of a pressure wave in a viscoelastic material model
(Springer, 2017-11-22)
The present study examines the possibility of attenuating blood pulses by means of introducing prosthetic viscoelastic materials able to absorb energy and damp such pulses. Vascular prostheses made of ...
On the mechanism of Candida tropicalis biofilm reduction by the combined action of naturally-occurring anthraquinones and blue light
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-07)
The photoprocesses involved in the photo-induced Candida tropicalis biofilm reduction by two natural anthraquinones (AQs), rubiadin (1) and rubiadin-1-methyl ether (2), were examined. Production of ...
Pharmacological modulation of behaviour, serotonin and dopamine levels in daphnia magna exposed to the monoamine oxidase inhibitor deprenyl
(MDPI, 2021-08-09)
This study assessed the effects of the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor deprenyl in Daphnia magna locomotor activity. The mechanisms of action of deprenyl were also determined by studying the relationship ...
