Functional Imaging of the Lungs using Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Inert Fluorinated Gases
(2016)
Fluorine-19 (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs using inhaled inert fluorinated gases can potentially provide high quality anatomical and functional images of the lungs. This technique is able to visualize ...
Hydrogen sulfide modulates gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis in mouse primary hepatocytes
(2016)
Among many endogenous substances that regulate hepatic energy production is the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In the liver, H2S production is largely catalyzed by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and, to a lesser ...
Cardiac oxidative stress and antioxidant status in response to radiation and monocrotaline induced cardiac dysfunction
(2016)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Oxidative stress has been implicated in many types of cardiovascular disease. Chronic cardiac stress conditions have been shown to be associated ...
Bioremediation of contaminated soils from mine sites using native plants in Northwestern Ontario
(2016)
Practical and scientific importance can be found in this research topic since the results directly apply to remediation of industrial and mined lands in the boreal forest region. Plants suitable for phytostabilization of ...
