Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO₂ Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Halema Al-Kandari (6316961)

“…According to the Fish and Wildlife Service Acute Toxicity Rating Scale, RGOTi can be classified as “practically not toxic” and H₂RGOTi as “relatively harmless”. However, both nanocomposites should be used with caution at concentration higher than the NOEC (400 mg/L), in particular RGOTi, which significantly (i) caused pericardial and yolk sac edema; (ii) decreased the hatching rate, locomotion, and hematopoietic activities; and (iii) affected the heart rate. …”

Hepato‐splanchnic fluxes during exercise in patients with cirrhosis—a pilot study by Stefanos Volianitis (22155835)

“…Among the 14 amino acids measured, glutamate was released in the liver, while the uptake of free fatty acids decreased. During exercise at relatively low workloads, arterial lactate and ammonia levels were comparable to those seen in healthy subjects at higher workloads, while euglycemia was maintained due to sufficient hepatic glucose production. …”
