The present work aimed to re-assess the bioavailability enhancement potential of fulvic acid (FA). Carbamazepine (CBZ) and peat were used as a model drug FA source, respectively. Our group has already evaluated less commercially viable source FA, i.e., shilajit. In work, phase solubility CBZ was analyzed with varying concentrations peat-sourced (2–12% w/v). prepared complex (CBZ-FA) characteriz...

this work investigates the use of fenton’s process (ph 5.5 and 6; 0.10-0.50 mm fe(ii); molarratios fe(ii) to h2o2 of 1:5-1:20) combined with flocculation for the treatment of groundwater which is richin natural organic matter (nom) (10.6±0.37 mg c/l) and arsenic (110±6.7 μg/l). changes to the character ofthe residual nom fractions were followed, as well as the removal efficiencies of nom and ar...

Thymus serpyllum (creeping thyme) is a newly introduced medicinal and aromatic plant in Egypt. It was grown hydroponically for this study. The goal to assess the effect of three sandponic media (sand, silica, sand with silica) foliar spraying fulvic acid (without with) on growth, herbage yield, essential oil yield. experiment designed as split plot. main plots involved spraying, while subplots ...

Metal contamination from coal ashes (CAs) is widely recognized as a significant environmental concern. To learn more about metal detoxification and accumulation potential of earthworm species, metal-rich tea factory coal ashes (TFCA) were fed to Eisenia fetida and Lampito mauritii by employing a fluorescent tag detection method. Fascinatingly, on feeding fluorescence probed Zn and Cd along with...

The ubiquitous presence of humic substances (HS), combined with their ability to provide multiple sites for chemical reaction, makes them relevant to numerous biogeochemical processes such as mineral weathering, nutrient bioavailability, and contaminant transport. The reactivity of HS depends on their functional group chemistry and microstructure, which are in turn influenced by the composition...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe changes in anthropometric measurements, body composition, blood pressure, lipid profile, and testosterone following a low-energy-density dietary intervention plus regimented supplementation program. METHODS The study design was a pre-post intervention design without a control group. Normal participants were recruited from the faculty, staff,...
