Olive Leaves Extract and Oleuropein Improve Insulin Sensitivity in 3T3-L1 Cells and in High-Fat Diet-Treated Rats via PI3K/AkT Signaling Pathway by Hadrich, F.

“…In vivo model, the oral administration of oleuropein at 50 mg/kg in rats fed with high fat diet for 8 weeks reduced inflammation in liver and adipose tissues (WAT), improved glucose intolerance, and decreased hyperinsulinemia. Furthermore, the immunohistochemistry revealed that the expression level of p-Akt, IRS1, and Glut-4 were significantly enhanced in liver and WAT tissues after oleuropein supplementation comparing with that in HFD group. …”

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF USING HYDROGEN AS AN ALTERNATIVE FUEL FOR AN INDUSTRIAL BURNER by QAZAK, ABDUL HAFIZ

“…The highest flame stability is recorded at 24% oxygen, but the flame stability decreases when the oxygen rate increases to 28%. Also, combustion stability improves when hydrogen is added to fuel mixtures and improves when oxygen enrichment is 24% in contrast to oxygen enrichment of 26% as well as adding carbon dioxide which causes a reduction in combustion stability. …”

Impact of moisture contents on the performance of organic bi-layer ITO/OD thermo-electric cells by Ahmad, Zubair

“…The experimental results clearly show that with the increase of temperature Seebeck coefficient increases, whereas with increasing moisture contents the Seebeck coefficient of the ITO/OD thermo-electric cell significantly decreases. Our results point out the need for well-controlled environmental conditions, predominantly moisture level, in order to appraise the thermo-electric performance of organic semiconductor materials. 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.…”

Electrocatalytic cogeneration of reactive oxygen species for synergistic water treatment by Yang S.Y.

“…Compared to the sum of the performance of the two half-electrodes, the SS/CNT pair exhibits similar OH generation kinetics regardless of the purging gas, yet significantly enhanced H2O2 generation kinetics. The phenol decomposition and TOC removal with the pair are more than double their sums of the two half-electrodes at all Ecells with O2 purging, whereas such a synergistic effect is found only at high Ecells when N2 is purged. …”
