Purpose: The solubility of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in water is extremely low, resulting in a low oral bioavailability. In this study, we attempted to improve the low dissolution and bioavailability of CoQ10, by means of the complexation with natural α-, βand γ-cyclodextrins (CyDs) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CyD (HP-β-CyD). Methods: The complexation of CoQ10 with CyDs was studied by the solubility metho...

It remains unclear how soil microbes respond to labile organic carbon (LOC) inputs and temperature sensitivity (Q10) of matter (SOM) decomposition is affected by LOC in a short-term. In this study, 13C-labeled glucose was added pristine grassland at four temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 °C), the immediate utilization native SOM measured minutely We found that addition stimulated decomposition, elev...

Leopard frog saccular hair cells exhibit an electrical resonance in response to a depolarizing stimulus that has been proposed to contribute to the tuning properties of the frog sacculus by acting as an electrical band-pass filter. With the whole cell patch-clamp technique, we have investigated the effect of temperature on electrical resonances in isolated saccular hair cells, and we have descr...

Accumulating evidence indicates that polymorphisms in the CRP gene are important in the development of cancer. The current meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between CRP polymorphisms 3407 A>G (rs2808630) and 29 A>T (rs1417938), and the risk of developing cancer. A search of the relevant literature was conducted using the PubMed database to identify eligible studies publ...
