The mitochondria: A target of polyphenols in the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy by Bhagani, Humna

“…The most important intermediates by which polyphenols exert their protective effect include Bcl-2, UCP2, SIRT-1, AMPK and JNK1. Bcl-2 acts to attenuate apoptosis, UCP2 decreases oxidative stress, SIRT-1 increases mitochondrial biogenesis and decreases oxidative stress, AMPK increases autophagy, and JNK1 decreases apoptosis and increases autophagy. …”

Aluminum nitride (AlN) reinforced electrodeposited Ni-B nanocomposite coatings by Radwan, A. Bahgat

“…The potentiodynamic analysis exhibited that the protection efficiency (PE%) of Ni–B coating is ~20%, which increased to ~53% and ~73% by addition of AlN nanoparticles of 0.6 and 1.2 g L−1, respectively. The corrosion resistance could be credited to the presence of inactive and insulating AlN nanoparticles that filled the existing defects in Ni–B matrix and subsequently decreased the active area exposed to the corrosive electrolyte (3.5 wt.% NaCl).…”
