There is growing evidence that low vitamin D impacts adversely on brain development. The current study investigated the impact of developmental vitamin D (DVD) deficiency on dopamine and serotonin metabolism in the neonatal rat brain. DVD-deficiency resulted in an altered dopaminergic metabolic profile in the forebrain, with a decrease in the conversion of dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) to ...

Catechol is used in many industries. It can be removed from wastewater by various methods but biological processes are the most superior and commonly used technology. The SCR is a modified form of SBR used to degrade catechol. The objective of this study was to investigate the performance of SCR for biodegradation and mineralization of catechol under various inlet concentrations (630-1500 mg/L)...

In this study, the electrochemical mechanism of catechol in presence and absence of nitrite ion, is investigated in phosphate buffer medium (pH=7) using platinum electrode through cyclic voltammetry method in various scan rates. Electrochemical oxidation of catechol showed how quinone has changed to o-benzoquinone and also how o-benzoquinone has reacted with nitrite ion and potential scan rate ...

The atmospheric aerosol assisted plasma polymerization of 4-vinyl-catechol allows the facile deposition robust redox active catechol-rich films with promising properties as organic cathode materials for lithium ion battery.

The authors report the synthesis of some bioactive organic compounds which could be pharmacological interest using Dioscorea praehensilis tyrosinase immobilized on calcium-alginate beads. enzymatic these involved pyruvic acid as a source carbonyl groups, ammonia and catechol. Catechol was used substrate parent compound that supplied aromatic ring carbons for reactions. structures novel synthesi...

the electrochemical oxidation and determination of tryptophan (trp) and glutathione (gsh) in the presence of catechol as a homogeneous redox in the aqueous medium were investigated at the surface of a carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotube (mwcnt-cpe) using cyclic voltammetry (cv), double step potential chronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry (dpv) techni...
