The status of forward osmosis technology implementation by Awad, Abdelrahman M.

“…The outcomes of 15 studies conducted at pilot scale revealed the energy associated with the draw solution (DS) recovery to present a significant barrier to implementation of the technology, with a 40–50% decrease in energy consumption required for the DS recovery step for the process to successfully compete with classical reverse osmosis (RO) based processes. …”

Effect of hypoxia on metabolic markers and gene expression HIF-1 α in adipocytes by Younes, Noura B.

“…Results: Under hypoxia conditions, DHA treatment resulted in significant changes in all critical parameters of adipocyte biology including HIF-1α RNA expression (decreased by 50%), decreased lactate and glycerol release (66% and 25% respectively), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (decreased by 15%), while glucose uptake was decreased by 25% accompnied by decreased secretion of pro-inflammatory markers (Interleukin 6 IL-6, 31% reduction) , macrophage chemoattractant protein 1 MCP-1 (38% reduction) and leptin (14% reduction), and increased adiponectin secretion (by 45%). …”

The role of NF-κB and AhR transcription factors in lead-induced lung toxicity in human lung cancer A549 cells. by Attafi, Ibraheem M

“…Pb treatment induced oxidative stress by a) increasing the formation of reactive oxygen species and b) decreasing GSTA1 mRNA levels. The toxic effects of Pb on the lung was associated with significant increases in NF-κB and AhR levels which was accompanied with increases in downstream targets genes, iNOS and CYP1A1, respectively. …”
