When Penicillium simplicissimum is grown on veratryl alcohol, anisyl alcohol, or 4-(methoxymethyl)phenol, an intracellular covalent flavin-containing vanillyl-alcohol oxidase is induced. The induction is highest (up to 5% of total protein) during the growth phase. In addition to vanillyl-alcohol oxidase, an intracellular catalase-peroxidase is induced. Induction of vanillyl-alcohol oxidase in P...

Sedimentation properties of the TiO2 nanoparticles with very high specific surface area (about 180m /g) based on the BET method have been investigated in various organic solvents. The TiO2 nanocolloid in the isopropyl alcohol displayed a considerably high electrostatic repulsive force, compared to that in other solvents, with negligible coalescence between the particles. Both the backscattered ...

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has a complex, multifactorial etiology involving dysregulation across several brain regions and peripheral organs. Acute chronic alcohol consumption cause epigenetic modifications in these systems, which underlie changes gene expression subsequently, the emergence of pathophysiological phenotypes associated with AUD. One such mechanism is methylation, can occur on DNA...

Methyl alcohol poisoning is an extremely hazardous commonly occurs via oral ingestion of illicit or adulterated liquors as ethanol substitution. Toxicity results in gastrointestinal manifestations, metabolic acidosis, neurologic squeal and even death. Rapid recognition, early aggressive management have been emphasized to prevent outcome. We hereby present a case series 16 cases who presented ou...
