This study investigated the potential synergistic interactions between Pb and Cd, and assessed the contribution of transporter gene expression to the synergism. Mice were administered varying doses of Pb (15, 30 and 108 mg kg −1 ) or Cd (1, 2 and 3 mg kg −1 ), or a combination of both in the feed. Liver, kidney and bone samples were analyzed for Cd, Pb, Cu, Mn, Zn and Fe concentrations. For treatments exhibiting synergistic ef...

Subseasonal predictions from 2 weeks to 2 months have made significant advancements over the past decade, driven by progress in physical understanding, climate modeling, computational capabilities, and artificial intelligence (AI). These predictions are increasingly in demand due to their potential to provide stakeholders with adequate lead time for effective disaster adaptation, mitigation, and resource management. However, t...

In Antarctica, low temperatures favor the trapping and deposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), whereas the biogeochemical cycling of PAHs on the Southern Ocean adjacent to Antarctica is highly sensitive to climate change. However, very little environmental and ecological information is available on interannual PAHs variations in the surface of the Southern Ocean. From 2022 to 2024, we employed the 38 th , 39 th...
