A simple and rapid liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed for the determination of BH4, DA, 5-HT, NE, EP, Glu, and GABA in mouse brain using epsilon-acetamidocaproic acid and isotopically labeled neurotransmitters as internal standards. Proteins in the samples were precipitated by adding acetonitrile, and then the supernatants were separated by a Sepax Polar-Im...

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been widely used as a catalyst for the bifunctional activities of hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER OER). Here, we investigated size dependent HER OER performance MoS2. The smallest (90 nm) MoS2 exhibits lowest overpotential −0.28 V at −10 mAcm−2 1.52 300 with Tafel slopes 151 176 mVdec−1 OER, respectively, compared to bigger sizes (2 μm 6 μm) better i...

Sodium super-ionic conductor (NASICON)-structured phosphates are emerging as rising stars cathodes for sodium-ion batteries. However, they usually suffer from a relatively low capacity due to the limited activated redox couples and intrinsic electronic conductivity. Herein, reduced graphene oxide supported NASICON Na3Cr0.5V1.5(PO4)3 cathode (VC/C-G) is designed, which displays ultrafast (up 50 ...

In Caspian Sea basin, sturgeons spend the larval and juvenile stages in freshwaters of rivers and then, they migrate to brackish waters of the sea where they grow and mature. With regard to the elevation of the metal concentrations in coastal waters and sediments of the Caspian Sea and its adjacent rivers, it is likely that juvenile sturgeon are exposed to sub-lethal levels of metals during sea...

Turkey has a very rich flora due to diverse climatic and topographic conditions within the country. Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) is an important wild edible fruits widely distributed in well known for its fruit antioxidants nutrients. In this study, phytochemical content of number genotypes Erzincan region were determined. The biochemical analysis included organic acids, sugars, vitamin C, ...

BACKGROUND This study compared the postoperative outcomes of 27-gauge (G) and 25-G vitrectomy performed for the treatment of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). METHODS The study design was single center, retrospective, interventional case series. Two hundred consecutive eyes that underwent primary vitrectomy for ERM (27-G vitrectomy in 100 eyes and 25-G vitrectomy in 100 eyes) were studied...

The kiwiberry (Actinidia arguta) is a new product on the market that is enjoying growing consumer acceptance around the world. This widespread interest has created increased demand for identification of the kiwiberry's nutritional health benefits. Containing over 20 essential nutrients and a range of vitamins, the kiwiberry comes near the top of fruits classed as superfoods. It is one of the ri...

Microgreens (seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs) have gained popularity as a new culinary trend over the past few years. Although small in size, microgreens can provide surprisingly intense flavors, vivid colors, and crisp textures and can be served as an edible garnish or a new salad ingredient. However, no scientific data are currently available on the nutritional content of microgreens...
