Measurement of glutathione Glutathione (GSH) is a ubiquitous tripeptide which serves several vital functions including detoxifying electrophiles, scavenging free radicals and providing a reservoir for cysteine. The sulfhydryl group of GSH reduces 5-5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and form the yellow colour product 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB)21. Measurement of the absorbance of TNB at 412 nm provides an accurate estimation of GSH in the sample. Figure 7. Materials 5×105 cells/mL…

SYMMETRY WRITING EXERCISE PARAGRAPH I FePO4 is a type of -quartz, and when the temperature is relatively low, FePO4 still has the tetrahedral structure as seen in Figure 1. The Fe-O-P bridging angles are more similar between the FePO4 and -quartz. Change in the cell parameters become more significant between temperatures of 294K and 1073K, and it slowly acquires an octahedral structure as the temperature increases. When temperature reaches 980K, the compound transitions and the tilt angles…

Phase Diagram and Phase Transformation Fig. 1 shows (FCC) Nickel-(BCC) Chromium binary phase diagram. The eutectic reaction takes place at 1345°C and the composition is 51% Cr and 49% Ni. The solid solubility of Cr in Ni is extensive which is evident from the phase diagram. Phase transformations of two Ni-Cr alloys are explained below. One is Ni40Cr60 (Line 2) which is closer to eutectic composition and contains greater % Cr and the other alloy is Ni68Cr32 (Line 1) which contains greater % Ni.…

The initial hypothesis that was made regarding the strength of the solid compounds was supported with this experiment. The hypothesis stated that potassium hydroxide would have the greatest effect on the acidic solution. This was supported here as it had the highest average change in pH by far. On average, the pH value of the acidic solution increased by 12.5. This is significantly higher than the increase of the other solutions, which only increased around a pH of 4. The reason why potassium…

such, it is possible for silicon dioxide to have the same structure when the chemistry is completely different. Since iron is trivalent and phosphorus is pentavalent, an equation of the following can be written to explain the chemical substitution which takes place to maintain the same symmetry: Here, the total charge on each side has a charge of 8+ and…

NANOCARRIERS AS PROMISING NOVEL SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLED DELIVERY OF DICLOFENAC SODIUM [N.B: Authors' details blinded by Pro Journals for Review] ABSTRACT The formulation and evaluation of Diclofenac sodium from liposomes, niosomes and nanoemulsion are analyzed. The release profiles of Diclofenac sodium were almost similar in all the formulations. It is found that 85% of Diclofenac sodium diffused out from the colloidal systems within 8hrs and practically all the drug was released within…

Results and discussion 3.1 Ionic conductivity measurements The complex impedance plots for the polymer electrolytes with different amounts of TBAI /LiI is shown in Fig. 1. It can be displayed that the ionic conductivity increases with the increase in TBAI salt content and reaches the maximum value of 1.737×10-3 S cm-1 at 298 K for 60 % of TBAI content, beyond decreases on further addition of TBAI. At a low content of TBAI, the conductivity is low due to the small number of charge carriers in…

Describe the Properties of Biopol Biopol is a copolymer made of the monomers PHV and PHB. PHB alone, with its short methyl side chain, is brittle and has very high crystallinity, meaning it cracks easily. Due to its high crystallinity and overall unsuitable properties for industrial use, PHV has been added to created PHBV, or Biopol. Biopol is semicrystalline, meaning it can still crystallize as well as melting at a lower temperature than PHB, making it industrially suitable. Due to its long…
