Article Abstract

An OFF-ON detection method for Cu was developed at the AgAu bimetallic nanoparticle decorated nitrogen-doped graphene (AgAu-NG) nanocomposite modified electrode. The measurement was based on the copper-catalyzed oxidation of cysteamine (Cys) to regulate the oxidation peak current of Ag. In the absence of Cu, Cys can bind to the surface of AgAu-NG via the Ag-S or Au-S bond, thus leading to an obvious decrease of the oxidation peak current of Ag. However, in the presence of Cu, Cu can greatly catalyze the oxidation of Cys by dissolved O to form cystamine, which would fall off the surface of AgAu-NG nanocomposites, leading to the partial recovery of the oxidation peak current of Ag. With the increase in the concentration of Cu, the oxidation peak current of Ag in the presence of Cys increases accordingly. So, the concentration of Cu can be measured. By using the optimum conditions, this method can detect Cu concentrations down to 0.3 nM (S/N = 3) with a linear response range of 1 nM-1 mM. Furthermore, this method was applied to determine Cu concentrations in river water samples and showed excellent analytical performance.

Dietary intake has an important influence on rates of fuel use during exercise, but the extent to which short-term diet changes affect peak fat oxidation (PFO) and the intensity at which this occurs (Fat) is unknown. This study examined the impact of diet-induced changes in substrate availability on PFO and Fat and the expression of key lipid-regulatory genes and proteins in skeletal muscle. Forty moderately to well-trained males (27 ± 5 years, V̇O 56.

Fortifying an emulsified meat product with co-encapsulated omega-3 fatty acids and lutein.

Lutein and omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), offer significant health benefits, especially when consumed together. However, their incorporation in food is often low due to their instability during processing and storage. Meat products play an essential role in human nutrition and are generally deficient in lutein and omega-3 fatty acids.

With the rapid development of the nuclear medicine business worldwide, the removal of iodine-131 from specific contaminated environments to protect public health has important application prospects. In this study, the surface decontamination mechanism of Ce(IV)/HNO3 as a decontaminant for iodine-131-contaminated nonmetallic materials was investigated by using an orthogonal experimental method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). During the preparation experiments with the contaminated materials, both quartz glass and ceramics reached peak activity concentration levels at 4 h of adsorption (contamination) by using immersion; the decontamination factor (DF) was selected as the test index for the decontamination experiments.
