Cadmium toxicity promotes hormonal imbalance and induces the expression of genes involved in systemic resistances in barley
Biometals. 2024 Apr 14. doi: 10.1007/s10534-024-00597-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCadmium (Cd) is a widely distributed pollutant that adversely affects plants' metabolism and productivity. Phytohormones play a vital role in the acclimation of plants to metal stress. On the other hand, phytohormones trigger systemic resistances, including systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR), in plants in response to biotic interactions. The present study aimed to investigate the possible induction of SAR and ISR pathways in relation to the hormonal alteration of barley seedlings in response to Cd st...

Synthesis, theoretical analysis, and biological properties of a novel tridentate Schiff base palladium (II) complex
Biometals. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1007/s10534-024-00598-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSchiff base complexes play a crucial role in bioinorganic chemistry. A novel curcumin/phenylalanine tridentate Schiff base ligand and its palladium (II) complex were synthesized so that they were stable in aqueous buffer. The structure of the complex was investigated using a variety of methods, including DFT, NBO analysis, FMOs, and MESP. The interaction of the complex with a plasmid (pUC19) and CT-DNA was studied. The anticancer, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities of the complex were examined. The statistical analysis of the MTT a...

Coordination chemistry suggests that independently observed benefits of metformin and Zn < sup > 2+ < /sup > against COVID-19 are not independent
Biometals. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.1007/s10534-024-00590-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndependent trials indicate that either oral Zn2+ or metformin can separately improve COVID-19 outcomes by approximately 40%. Coordination chemistry predicts a mechanistic relationship and therapeutic synergy. Zn2+ deficit is a known risk factor for both COVID-19 and non-infectious inflammation. Most dietary Zn2+ is not absorbed. Metformin is a naked ligand that presumably increases intestinal Zn2+ bioavailability and active absorption by cation transporters known to transport metformin. Intracellular Zn2+ provides a natural buffer of man...

Effects of arsenic exposure on blood trace element levels in rats and sex differences
In this study, a rat model of As poisoning was established to investigate the levels of trace elements in the blood of rats and sex differences in the effect of As on every trace elements in rat blood. Twenty 6-week-old SD (Sprague Dawley) rats were randomly divided into the control group and the As-exposed group. After 3 months, the contents of 19 elements including As in the blood were detected in these two groups by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). As levels in the blood of As-exposed rats were significantly higher than those in the control group, with increased levels of Rb, Sr, Cs and Ce, and dec...
