Under this newly established federal organization ketoprofen has screening limits of 2 ng/mL in blood and 100 ng/mL…
Gallium-68 (68Ga, t1/2 ¼ 67.8 min) owns great potential in nuclear medicine being extensively used in labelling of biomolecules like somatostatin and PSMA inhibitor analogues. 68Ga decay to stable Zinc-68 (68Zn) nuclide via electron capture (11%) and positron decay (89%) and is generally produced via 68Ge/68Ga generators. Although this approach is widely used, the generators…
The kidneys are considered critical for the long-term control of blood pressure by regulation of body fluid and blood volume. In support of this concept, the kidneys control the systemic activity of the pro-hypertensive renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system by regulating the production and release of renin from juxtaglomerular cells. The relationship between the endocannabinoid system in the…
In a recent paper authored by Lia D. Murty et al., published in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.8b00963), UCT’s Clean Up® solid phase extraction silica was employed in the study of co-exposure of the mycotoxins Lolitrem B and Ergovaline in steers fed perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) straw. Past research showed a strong linear correlation between levels of the two mycotoxins in ryegrass.
