Sudan black lipid blot - a rapid and simple method for quantification of lipids in biological samples

The paper introduces a new method for quantifying lipids in biological samples using Sudan Black B dye, which requires less tissue and extract volume than traditional methods.

Proposal of a simple open-source quantitative tribometric assay and its implementation for the assessment of the effects of redox-related alterations on the lubrication capacity of a commercial water-based lubricant gel

The paper proposes and implements an open-source tribometric assay using a hacked kitchen scale to assess redox-related effects on a commercial water-based lubricant gel's lubrication capacity.

In vitro analysis of catalase and superoxide dismutase mimetic properties of blue tattoo ink

This study investigates the catalase and superoxide dismutase mimetic properties of blue tattoo ink and its fractions, finding that CuPC contributes to antioxidant-like effects while other components also influence redox properties.

Non-alcoholic components of Pelinkovac, a Croatian wormwood-based strong liquor, counteract the inhibitory effect of high ethanol concentration on catalase in vitro

The paper shows that non-alcoholic components of Pelinkovac counteract ethanol's inhibition of catalase activity under acidic conditions in vitro.

The effect of acute oral galactose administration on the redox system of the rat small intestine

This study examines the acute effects of oral D-galactose on intestinal redox homeostasis in rats, finding increased antioxidant activity and reduced oxidative stress.

Publishing of COVID-19 Preprints in Peer-reviewed Journals, Preprinting Trends, Public Discussion and Quality Issues

This study evaluates whether COVID-19-related preprints are more likely to be published in peer-reviewed journals and examines associated trends and quality issues.

Nitrocellulose redox permanganometry: a simple method for reductive capacity assessment

The paper introduces a method to measure reductive capacity in biological samples using potassium permanganate reduction and nitrocellulose membranes, with a modification for spatial analysis.
