Vanadium (V) is an element with wide industrial applications and environmental release. The object of this study was to determine the in vitro effects of high (10(-4) M) and low (10(-7) M) concentrations of sodium metavanadate (NaVO3) on cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation, cytokine release, CD expression, and granulocyte O2- production. At 10(-4) and 10(-7) M, NaVO3...

Anode Materials In article number 2103158, Fen Ran and co-workers develop the efficient approach of rapid cooling in a refrigerator, for large-scale fabrication melamine-ammonium metavanadate supramolecular nanoribbons. The vanadium-supramolecules derived vanadium nitride/carbon nanoribbons present mesoporous structure, which endow fabricated with high capacitance 266.3 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1.

Learning can be severely impaired as a consequence of exposure to environmental pollutants. Vanadium (V), a metalloid which is widely distributed in the environment, has been shown to exert toxic effects on a variety of biological systems including the nervous system. However, studies exploring the impact of vanadium on learning are limited. Herein, we investigated the effects of oral administr...

Background: Since the freezing method was offered, much effort has been done to improve the freezing conditions in different studies and the impact of different freezing methods and mediums on oocyte, embryo and ovarian tissues has been examined. Based on studies, minerals play an important role in oocyte maturation and subsequent embryo development. Vanadium is one of the minerals, which is ve...

Glasses of the system x (SnO) (50-x)PbO : 50V2O5 were prepared by melt quenching in the range x = 0 mole% to 15 mole%. Measurements are reported for dc electrical conductivity for the above compositions in the temperature range 300K-500K. The experimental results are analyzed with reference to various theoretical models proposed for dc electrical conduction in amorphous semiconductors. The anal...

The rate of atmospheric vanadium is constantly increasing due to fossil fuel combustion. This environmental pollution favours vanadium exposure in particular to its vanadate form, causing occupational bronchial asthma and bronchitis. Based on the well admitted bronchodilator properties of the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), we investigated the ability of this neurope...
