Abstract We investigated L1 and L2 frequency effects in the sharing of syntax across languages (reflected cross-linguistic structural priming) using an artificial language (AL) paradigm. Ninety-six Dutch speakers learned AL with either a prepositional-object (PO) dative bias (PO datives appeared three times as often double-object [DO] datives) or DO (DOs POs). Priming was assessed from to (a st...

The vasoactive effects of oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on human umbilical artery strips as well as the possible mechanisms involved are studied. Contraction responses to cumulative H2O2 (10 M 3 × 10 M) in endothelium intact and denuded umbilical arteries and responses to cumulative H2O2 after incubation with L-NAME (10 M) (n = 8), indomethacin (10 M) (n = 8) and verapami...

Ascorbic acid (AA) has antioxidant properties. However, in the presence of Fe2+/Fe3+ ions and H2O2, it may behave as a pro-oxidant by accelerating enhancing formation hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Therefore, this study we evaluated effect AA at concentrations 1 to 200 µmol/L on •OH-induced light emission (at pH 7.4 temperature 37 °C) from 92.6 Fe2+—185.2 EGTA (ethylene glycol-bis (β-aminoethyl ether...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that plays a dual role in plant cells. Here, we discovered that drought (20% polyethylene glycol-6000, PEG)-triggered decreases of HO-1 transcript expression and HO activity. However, exogenous H2O2 contributed toward the increase in HO-1 gene expression and activity of the enzyme under drought stress. Meanwhile, the HO-1 inducer hemat...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in oxidative stress and signal transduction of organisms. Currently, a fluorescence probe has proven to be a powerful tool for the H2O2 analysis. However, the common problem is the slow response, causing difficulty in tracking H2O2 in situ. Herein, we describe a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorescence...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has established itself as a key player in stress and programmed cell death responses, but little is known about the signaling pathways leading from H2O2 to programmed cell death in plants. Recently, identification of key regulatory mutants and near-full genome coverage microarray analysis of H2O2-induced cell death have begun to unravel the complexity of the H2O2 networ...
