Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important photosensitizer for the phototransformation of organic contaminants in sunlit natural waters. This article focuses on the photolysis kinetics and mechanism of sunscreen agent p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) in the presence of four kinds of
To evaluate myeloperoxidase (MPO) as a newer therapeutic target and bis-5-hydroxytryptamide-diethylenetriaminepentaacetate-gadolinium (Gd) (MPO-Gd) as an imaging biomarker for demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) by using experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a murine model of MS. Animal experiments were approved

The fetus is exposed to almost all of the substances found in the maternal circulation whether nutrients or foreign chemicals ("xenobiotics"). The main route of exposure is the placenta. The placenta is metabolically active toward xenobiotics and the nature of

Studies in our laboratory have shown that the N-acetylation activity of the human term placenta is a predominantly attributable to the NAT1 form of arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT). To further assess the acetylation capacity of the placenta, the N-acetylation of the
