The kynurenine pathway catabolite 3-hydroxykynurenine (3HK) and redox-active metals such as copper and iron are implicated in cataractogenesis. Here we investigate the reaction of kynurenine pathway catabolites with copper and iron, as well as interactions with the major lenticular structural proteins, the alpha-crystallins. The o-aminophenol kynurenine catabolites 3HK and 3-hydroxyanthranilic ...

Copper wire bonding has huge cost advantages over gold wire bonding. As a result, low pin count, heavy wire applications have already been converted to copper wire and many companies are in high volume production. Recently, with the price of gold skyrocketing, conversion of high pin count (>250 I/O), high performance applications to Cu has dramatically accelerated. These high performance device...

The paper examines the copper consumption-economic growth nexus for 16 rich economies from the period 1966 to 2010. Various generations of panel unit root and cointegration tests are applied. Both series are found to be integrated of order one. Evidence of cointegration is found especially when controlling for breaks and long-run cross-sectional dependence. Causality is investigated using a vec...

Building on the known photophysical properties of well-defined copper-carbazolide complexes, we have recently described photoinduced, copper-catalyzed N-arylations and N-alkylations of carbazoles. Until now, there have been no examples of the use of other families of heteroatom nucleophiles in such photoinduced processes. Herein, we report a versatile photoinduced, copper-catalyzed method for c...

The effects of iron deficiency on the levels of iron, copper, zinc and magnesium in the brain, liver, kidney, heart and lungs of albino rats (Rattus novergicus) was investigated. Forty rats were divided into two groups and the first group was fed a control diet containing 1.09g iron/kg diet while the test group was fed diet containing 9ppm iron/kg diet. Tissue iron level reduced in all the diet...

determination of trace elements in food is of great importance, as some of them have nutritional significance, whilst others are toxic. long-term exposure to low levels of toxic metals could be important, especially in relation to children. differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (dpasv) is applied to simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in dry ash infant formula...

BACKGROUND It is well known that some trace elements such as zinc and copper play a significant role in many forms of hair loss. However, the effect of zinc and copper in the pathogenesis of hair loss is still unknown. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the zinc and copper status in each of four types of hair loss. METHODS A study was carried out with 30 health controls and ...

Noroviruses (family Caliciviridae) are the primary cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide. The virus is highly infectious and touching contaminated surfaces can contribute to infection spread. Although the virus was identified over 40 years ago the lack of methods to assess infectivity has hampered the study of the human pathogen. Recently the murine virus, MNV-1, has successfully been used a...
