Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRedox Sensing and Cardiac Myocyte Loss: Some Recent InsightsShyamal K. GoswamiGeneration of reactive oxygen-nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) has long been ascribed to pathophysiological conditions like ageing, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders. However, more recent evidences suggest that while generation of ROS/RNS at a higher threshold is deleterious, at a lower dose these can act as second messengers, influencing specific cellular events like cell growth and differentiation, embryonic development, protection against ischemic injuries … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cathodically Charged Hydrogen on the Microhardness of Pure CopperGhazi S. AL-Marahleh, Amjad S. El-AmoushThe effect of hydrogen on the microhardness of pure copper was investigated after experiments conducted on specimens that hydrogen charged under different cathodic charging conditions. Microhardness measurements revealed that the introduction of hydrogen caused hardening on the surface of copper. The severity of the hardened region increased with either cathodic current density or charging time. Further charging increased the depth … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
