Electrical conduction in macroscopically oriented deoxyribonucleic and hyaluronic acid samples.

چکیده
Measurements of the quasistatic and frequency dependent electrical conductivity below 1 MHz were carried out on wet-spun, macroscopically oriented, calf thymus deoxyribonucleic (DNA) and umbilical cord hyaluronic acid (HA) bulk samples. The frequency dependence of the electrical conductivity in the frequency range of approximately 10(-3) - 10(6) Hz of both materials is surprisingly rather similar. Temperature dependence of the quasistatic electrical conductivity above the low temperature saturation plateau can be well described by the activated Arrhenius law with the activation energy of approximately 0.8 eV for both DNA and HA. We discuss the meaning of these findings for the possible conduction mechanism in these particular charged polyelectrolytes.

متن کاملACP gel: a new hyaluronic acid-based injectable for facial rejuvenation. Preclinical data in a rabbit model.
BACKGROUND Facial aging results from reduced biosynthetic activity of dermal fibroblasts and decreased deposition of extracellular matrix components, such as hyaluronic acid, a glycosaminoglycan responsible for skin hydration and turgidity. Exogenous hyaluronic acid injections provide a safe though short-term solution for facial rejuvenation. Using a rabbit model, the authors investigated resid...
