Copper-based fungicides reliably control various foliar diseases in citrus production, although they are suspected to exacerbate mite problems through various mechanisms. Studies have shown negative effects of various copper formulations on entomopathogenic fungi, nematodes, and parasitoids, but few have sought to measure its impact on the biology of predatory insects. We exposed the larvae of ...

Rofecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase COX-2 enzyme inhibitor with chemoprotective effect against cancer in experimental models. This study aimed to investigate the effect of rofecoxib against ctds DNA damage induced by copper ions or ultraviolet (UV)B radiation. Aliquot ctdsDNA samples were incubated with copper sulfate solution (50 nmol) and rofecoxib (0.8 mol) was added either before or aft...

Previous studies have demonstrated that copper (15.7 micromol/L) can inhibit selenite (12.6 micromol/L)-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in HT-29 cells. However, the exact nature of the interactions between selenium and copper is not fully understood. In this study, the effect of copper on the cell cycle arrest induced by selenite or selenocystine was examined. Both selenite and selenocystine...

Copper nanoparticles are being given considerable attention as of late due to their interesting properties and potential applications in many areas of industry. One such exploitable use is as the major constituent of conductive inks and pastes used for printing various electronic components. In this study, copper nanoparticles were synthesized through a relatively large-scale (5 l), high-throug...

Angiogenesis plays a central role in wound healing. Among many known growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is believed to be the most prevalent, efficacious, and long-term signal that is known to stimulate angiogenesis in wounds. Whereas a direct role of copper to facilitate angiogenesis has been evident two decades ago, the specific targets of copper action remained unclear...

A total of 1110 broiler cockerels were used in three experiments to determine the availability of iron and copper from various sources. A skim milk basal diet was fed in each experiment using chicks maintained in battery brooders beginning at one day of age. Four organic iron compounds (sequestered iron A' and ferric choline chloride in Experiment 1 and sequestered iron B and C in Experiment 2)...

copper sulfate is one of the most important pollutant in aquaculture systems. the aim of the present study was of the histopathological changes of some organs of common carp. copper sulphate can be considered as a toxic agent for fish.the effect of copper sulphate at 0. 0 1 mg/l as a constant bath was studied on common carp (cyprinus carpio) weighing about 100g. at 19±1°c for one month. tissue ...

After gold recovery using silicon powder from an ammonium thiosulfate leaching solution containing copper（II）sulfate（oxidizing agent for dissolution）, copper was also recovered. a certain period of time, redissolution occurred. Then redissolved. The depletion in the during process leads to redissolution.
