Abstract. The hyperaccumulative plant species Leersia hexandra Swartz, particularly, has been considered for its detoxification mechanism for phytoremediation of chromium-contaminated water environments. This study investigates the role of the adsorption mechanism of the L. hexandra Sw. biomass on the removal of chromium ions Cr(VI) and Cr(III) from an aqueous solution. The interaction betw…
Background Amlodipine has been shown to improve vascular endothelial function in hypertensive patients, but whether S(-)-amlodipine has a similar effect remains controversial. This study compared the effects of amlodipine and S(-)-amlodipine on vascular endothelial function in hypertensive patients and investigated relevant mechanisms of action in cell culture. Methods Twenty-four patient…
