Alkali Cation Potential and Functionality in the Nanoporous Prussian Blue Analogues by Yutaka Moritomo, Hiroshi Tanaka

“…The potential curves of larger cations, that is, K+, Rb+ and Cs+, exhibit a barrier at the window of the host framework, while those of the smaller cations, that is, Li+ and Na+, exhibit no barrier. We will discuss the useful functionalities observed in the Prussian blue analogues, that is, (a) battery properties mediated by Li+ intercalation/de-intercalation, (b) electrochromism mediated by Na+ transfer in all solid device, and (c) the elimination of Cs+ from aqueous solution by precipitation, in terms of the alkali cation potentials.…”

Tissue-Specific Effects of Bariatric Surgery Including Mitochondrial Function by Simon N. Dankel, Vidar Staalesen, Bodil Bjørndal, Rolf K. Berge, Gunnar Mellgren, Lena Burri

“…In this paper we discuss proposed mechanisms whereby bariatric surgery improves metabolic health, including acute effects on glucose metabolism and long-term effects on metabolic tissues (adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver) and mitochondrial function. More short-term randomized controlled trials should be performed that include simultaneous measurement of metabolic parameters in different tissues, such as tissue gene expression, protein profile, and lipid content. …”
