Sex-specific dysregulation of cysteine oxidation and the methionine and folate cycles in female cystathionine gamma-lyase null mice: a serendipitous model of the methylfolate trap

In addition to its role in the endogenous synthesis of cysteine, cystathionine gamma-lyase (CGL) is a major physiological source of the vasorelaxant hydrogen sulfide.Cgl null mice are potentially useful for studying the influence of this compound upon vascular tone and endothelial function.Here, we confirm a previous report that female Cgl null mic

Emerging health issues of cyanobacterial blooms

This paper describes emerging issue related to cyanobacterial dynamics and toxicity Planter and human health risks.Data show an increasing cyanobacteria expansion and dominance in many environments.However there are still few information on the toxic species fitness, or on the effects of specific drivers on toxin production.Open research fields are
