Source apportionment of potentially toxic PM10 near a vast metallic ore mine and health risk assessment for residents exposed
(Elsevier, 2023-03-13)Mining is an economic activity that traditionally releases large amounts of particulate matter into the atmosphere because of the procedures required to process the mineral. In particular, polymetallic ores are environmentally ... -
Revealing unbound β-diketiminate anions: structural dynamics from caesium complexes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-06-19)This study reports the first structural elucidation of β-diketiminate anions (BDI−), known for strong coordination, in their unbound form within caesium complexes. β-Diketiminate caesium salts (BDICs) were synthesised, and ... -
Selective C-H Bond Functionalization of Unprotected Indoles by Donor-Acceptor Carbene Insertion
(Wiley, 2023-07)Copper catalysts containing alkoxydiaminophosphine (ADAP) ligand catalyze the selective C3- H functionalization of unprotected indoles upon carbene transfer from donor-acceptor diazo compounds, the N-H bond remaining ... -
Phytoremediation potential depends on the degree of soil pollution: a case study in an urban brownfield
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC., 2023-04)Phytoremediation is a cost-effective nature-based solution for brownfield reclamation. The choice of phytoextraction or phytostabilization strategies is highly relevant when planning full-scale treatments. A suitable ... -
Photofunctional Scope of Fluorescent Dithienylethene Conjugates with Aza-Heteroaromatic Cations
(Wiley, 2023-04)A series of dithienylethene (DTE) photoswitches with aza-heteroaromatic cationic moieties is synthesized. The switches are characterized regarding their photochemical and photophysical properties in acetonitrile and in ... -
Metal Homeostasis and Exposure in Distinct Phenotypic Subtypes of Insulin Resistance among Children with Obesity
(MDPI, 2023-05)Background: Trace elements and heavy metals have proven pivotal roles in childhood obesity and insulin resistance. However, growing evidence suggests that insulin resistance could encompass distinct phenotypic subtypes. ... -
Study of PM2.5-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and anhydro-sugars in ambient air near two Spanish oil refineries: Covid-19 effects
(Elsevier, 2023)We report the results from a 12 month-long study of the organic compounds associated to PM2.5 samples collected around two petroleum refineries (4 samples/month/site) in two complex industrial zones reporting atmospheric ... -
Exploring the association between circulating trace elements, metabolic risk factors, and the adherence to a Mediterranean diet among children and adolescents with obesity
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01)Diet is one of the most important modifiable lifestyle factors for preventing and treating obesity. In this respect, the Mediterranean diet (MD) has proven to be a rich source of a myriad of micronutrients with positive ... -
Altered Metal Homeostasis Associates with Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, Impaired Glucose Metabolism, and Dyslipidemia in the Crosstalk between Childhood Obesity and Insulin Resistance
(MDPI, 2022)Metals are redox-active substances that participate in central biological processes and may be involved in a multitude of pathogenic events. However, considering the inconsistencies reported in the literature, further ... -
Excited-State Dynamics in Borylated Arylisoquinoline Complexes in Solution and in cellulo
(Wiley, 2023)Two four-coordinate organoboron N,C-chelate complexes with different functional terminals on the PEG chains are studied with respect to their photophysical properties within human MCF-7 cells. Their excited-state properties ... -
PM10 Resuspension of Road Dust in Different Types of Parking Lots: Emissions, Chemical Characterisation and Ecotoxicity
(MDPI, 2023-02)The thoracic fraction of road dust (PM10) was measured for the first time in Portugal in parking areas, both outdoors and indoors, with the aim of completing existing studies carried out in active lanes of various roads. ... -
Impact of Potentially Toxic Compounds in Cow Milk: How Industrial Activities Affect Animal Primary Productions
(MDPI, 2023-04)Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) frequently coexist in soils near industrial areas and sometimes in environmental compartments directly linked to feed (forage) and food (milk) ... -
Important Role of NH-Carbazole in Aryl Amination Reactions Catalyzed by 2‑Aminobiphenyl Palladacycles
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2023-03)2-Aminobiphenyl palladacycles are among the most successful precatalysts for Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, including aryl amination. However, the role of NH-carbazole, a byproduct of precatalyst activation, remains ... -
Trace elements as potential modulators of puberty-induced amelioration of oxidative stress and inflammation in childhood obesity
(Wiley, 2023)Although puberty is known to influence obesity progression, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of sexual maturation in obesity-related complications remains largely unexplored. Here, we delve into the impact ... -
Sexually dimorphic metal alterations in childhood obesity are modulated by a complex interplay between inflammation, insulin, and sex hormones
(Wiley, 2023)Although growing evidence points to a pivotal role of perturbed metal homeostasis in childhood obesity, sexual dimorphisms in this association have rarely been investigated. In this study, we applied multi-elemental ... -
