Abstract Acute consumption of cocoa flavanols (CF) has been reported to enhance cognitive functions, primarily through nitric oxide synthesis within blood vessels. These effects include improved performance in sustained attention, spatial attention and attentional control. Howeve...

Investigation of the Aromatase Cytochrome P450 gene (CYP19) P1.1-PvuII Polymorphism in Native Turkish Cattle Breeds

The Aromatase Cytochrome P450 gene (CYP19) encodes the key enzyme in estrogen biosynthesis and has been proposed as a candidate marker for fertility and milk yield traits in cattle. In this study, the CYP19 P1.1-PvuII polymorphism was investigated in five native Turkish cattle br...

Life cycle assessment of electrocoagulation versus chemical coagulation for automotive cataphoresis wastewater: the role of electrode material and electricity source

Electrocoagulation (EC) is widely promoted as a dosing-free alternative to conventional coagulation, yet life-cycle comparisons of the two remain scarce for industrial effluents. This study compares three EC electrode configurations (Al–Al, Fe–Fe and a hybrid Fe–Al) with poly-alu...
