TL;DR: The present results indicate that diphenyl diselenide can protect against some toxic effects of MeHg in mice, and may be related to its antioxidant properties and its ability to reduce Hg body burden.

TL;DR: Cerebral Na(+), K(+)-ATPase is a potential molecular target for the toxic effect of organochalcogens and the inhibition may occur through a change in the crucial thiol groups of this enzyme.

TL;DR: The data indicates that linalool may interfere with several relevant elements of the glutamatergic transmission, including detriment of the K+-stimulated glutamate release.
Abstract: Linalool, a monoterpene compound prevalent in essential oil of plant species traditionally used as sedatives, has been characterized as anticonvulsant in several experimental models. Linalool inhibits the binding of [3H]glutamate and [3H]dizocilpine to brain cortical membranes, indicating a participation of the glutamatergic transmission its mechanism of action. In this study, we investigated the effects of linalool on [3H]glutamate release (basal and potassium-stimulated) and [3H]glutamate uptake in mice cortical synaptosomes. Linalool significantly reduced potassium-stimulated glutamate release as well as glutamate uptake, not interfering with basal glutamate release. The data indicates that linalool may interfere with several relevant elements of the glutamatergic transmission, including detriment of the K+-stimulated glutamate release.

TL;DR: A review of various proposed schemes to increase the reliability and life span of solid-state lighting (SSL) systems is presented in this article, where several power-?conversion configurations aimed to capacitance reduction and capacitor technology exchange are put forward as alternative solutions for implementing long-life drivers, with remarks on both their benefits and drawbacks.
Abstract: A review of various proposed schemes to increase the reliability and life span of solid-state lighting (SSL) systems is presented in this article. Since the mainstream devices employed for such lighting systems are inorganic, high-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are devices characterized by their very long life, most of the questions in reliability and endurability arise from the electronic offline circuit driving the LEDs. Issues regarding the limited reliability of specific components, such as electrolytic capacitors, are introduced. Several power-?conversion configurations aimed to capacitance reduction and capacitor technology exchange are put forward as alternative solutions for implementing long-life drivers, with remarks on both their benefits and drawbacks. An extensive literature review on the topic is carried out, and some practical outcomes from recent research on offline LED driving are highlighted.
