INTRODUCTION: Metabolites are essential for the proper functioning of the eye lens, they either enter the lens from the aqueous humor (AH), or are synthesized in the lens epithelium. Antioxidants, osmolytes and UV filters are especially important for the lens protection, and thei...
Tet3 is the main α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenase in neurons that converts 5-methyl-dC into 5-hydroxymethyl-dC and further on to 5-formyl- and 5-carboxy-dC. Neurons possess high levels of 5-hydroxymethyl-dC that further increase during neural activity to establish transcriptional plast...
AIM: Low-molecular-weight organic substances (LMWOSs) are at the nexus between micro-organisms, plant roots, detritus and the soil mineral matrix. The nominal oxidation state of carbon (NOSC) has been suggested as a potential parameter for modelling microbial uptake rates of LMWO...
