Fucoxanthin Inhibits the NMDA and AMPA Receptors Through Regulating the Calcium Response on Substantia Gelatinosa Neurons of the Trigeminal Subnucleus Caudalis in Juvenile Mice by Nhung Ha Thuy Le, Seon Ah Park, Yu Mi Kim, Dong Kuk Ahn, Won Jung, Seong Kyu Han

“…Notably, FCX significantly attenuated the spontaneous firing activity of SG neurons. Altogether, these results reveal that FCX may protect SG neurons against glutamate excitotoxicity via primarily regulating Ca2+ response, thereby inhibiting the excitatory signaling induced by NMDA and AMPA receptors (AMPARs).…”

Assessment of the Contribution of Local and Regional Biomass Burning on PM2.5 in New York/New Jersey Metropolitan Area by Subraham Singh, Glen Johnson, David W. DuBois, Ilias G. Kavouras

“…The declining trends of PM2.5 mass in all four sites were very well correlated with decreasing secondary sulfate levels due to SO2 emission reductions by coal-fired power plants. The contributions of secondary nitrate, primary traffic exhausts and diesel particles did not change (or slightly increased) over time except for the Queens site, where statistically significant declines were computed. …”
