Abstract Sorption and desorption are important processes that influence the transport, transformation, bioavailability of imidacloprid in soils. Equilibrium batch experiments were carried out using six coastal Croatian The equilibrium sorption experimental data showed best fit to Freundlich equation. parameters predicted with model, KF sor 1/n ranged from 2.92 5.74 (mg/kg)/(mg/L)1/n, 0.888 0.919, respectively. was found be sensitive organic carbon (OC) content. highest observed Krk soil (OC...
Periodontitis is a common oral disease affecting the tooth-supporting tissues. Bacteria have been long viewed as main causative factor in its development; however, many investigations proved that aberrant immune and inflammatory response resulting misbalance between damage caused by reactive oxygen species antioxidant capacity of tissues may be an underlying progression reduces healing potential. The objective current trial to assess outcomes addition hyaluronic acid (HA) standard...
To elucidate the role of metallothioneins (MTs) in pathomechanisms autoimmune CNS disorders we estimated expression MTs I+II and tissue concentrations Zn2+ Cu2+ brain, spinal cord (SC) liver during periods attacks remissions chronic relapsing experimental encephalomyelitis (CR-EAE). Disease was induced genetically susceptible Dark Agouti (DA) rats by subcutaneous injection bovine brain homogenate CFA. Control were treated with CFA or saline solution. The data, obtained clinical assessment,...
Does the CCR5-Δ32 mutation explain variable coronavirus-2019 pandemic statistics in Europe?
Metallothioneins (MTs) are small, cysteine-rich proteins which have been implicated in various forms of stress providing cytoprotective action against oxidative injury, DNA damage and apoptosis. Owing to their high affinity for physiological metals, such as zinc copper MTs also critical components regulatory involved cell growth multiplication, well the maintenance immune homeostasis. To elucidate role pathomechanisms autoimmune CNS disorders we estimated expression MT I+II content free Zn...
The presence of nickel could modify bacterial behavior and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Adhesion biofilm formation on orthodontic archwires can be a source colonization possible health hazards. Staphylococcus aureus was subjected exposure adaptation various sub-inhibitory concentrations nickel. Five strains bacteria adapted in 62.5–1000 μg/mL were tested for adhesion nickel-titanium archwires. Archwires previously incubated artificial saliva. Bacteria with wire stirring 4 h...
<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Compared to the Dark Agouti (DA), Albino Oxford (AO) rat strain exhibits lower susceptibility induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Here, we investigated potential contribution heavy metal-binding proteins metallothioneins (MTs) I/II these effects. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Rats were immunized with bovine brain homogenate emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant or only adjuvant. The expression...
Environmental impact of natural gas facility near Molve (Podravina, Croatia) was assessed using hares (Lepus europaeus Pallas) as biomonitors. Elevated levels heavy metals in the environment lead to their accumulation different tissues hares. The authors have tested and distribution several hare liver, kidney, muscle tissues. copper liver kidneys with concomitant decrease zinc observed animals from Podravina region opposed control group (Island Krk, Croatia). Secondly, expression...
To investigate the effects of air pollution related with gasoline/petrochemical industry expression metallothionein I (MT-I) mRNA and tissue metals were analyzed in organs mice, exposed to gasoline (G) vapor laboratory conditions. Control groups consisted intact mice those metabolic chamber fresh air. The data obtained by RT-PCR inductively coupled plasma spectrometry have shown that exposure G leads upregulation MT-I receive a strong respiratory olfactory input or participate degradation...
