Background and aims. Gallbladder Na + and water absorption increases prior to gallstone formation and promotes cholesterol nucleation. Na+/H+ exchange (NHE) is a major pathway for gallbladder Na+ transport. Data suggest that NHE activity is altered during gallstone formation and…
The importance of energy storage worldwide is increasing with the use of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. With the intermittent nature of wind and solar power, large-scale grid storage is an extremely important progression needed to reduce the use of fossil fuels.…
Developing a sustainable energy infrastructure for the 21st century requires the large scale development of renewable energy resources. Fully exploiting these inherently intermittent supplies will require advanced energy storage technologies, with rechargeable Li-ion and Na-ion …
The mammalian uterus plays a central role in the reproductive process. During pregnancy the organ undergoes a process of remodelling that is not restricted to a change in volume; its behaviour transitions from relative quiescence to regular contraction. This progression is incom…
This thesis presented the study of carbon-based materials for ultra-sensitive molecular sensing. Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO), a 2-dimensional one-atomic layer thick carbon material, had the advantage of low-cost, aqueous and industrial-scalable production route. Using rGO as th…
During exercise water and electrolytes are lost in sweat. There is a large variation in both sweat rate and sweat composition and as a consequence sweat electrolyte loss can be large, especially for sodium, the primary cation in sweat. The loss of large amounts of sodium in swea…
Salt is used as a preservative in food. Reducing sodium in food, due to its link to hypertension, and replacing NaCl with other types of salt could have an effect on food safety. The main objective was to determine differences in salts and salt substitutes on growth of Listeria …
