Serum metabolomic profiling reveals load-specific adaptations to resistance training

Abstract Introduction Resistance training (RT) imposes repeated mechanical stimuli triggering systemic metabolic reprogramming whose molecular underpinnings remain incompletely characterized. Univariate approaches fail to capture pathway-level shifts defining the metabolomic resp...

Adsorption of Pharmaceutical Contaminants from a Real Hospital Effluent Using Acai Biomass-Derived Biochar Modified via Magnetron Sputtering

Abstract A novel aluminum-coated biochar derived from açaí waste was successfully engineered via physical vapor deposition (magnetron sputtering) to remove the emerging pharmaceutical contaminants clorazepate (Clz) and diclofenac (Dic) from synthetic and real aqueous systems. A...
