    Abstract: Mitochondria are responsible for the essential role in the cell survival by regulating the cellular energy, homeostasis, oxidative phosphorylation process, fatty acid oxidation and in the cell death process by regulating apoptosis. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS) is produced by mitochondria that pose oxidative damage to lipids, protein and m... Show More

    Abstract: Thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) and thermal sampling (TS) method were used to systematically characterize the α-relaxation process in gelatin and PVA homopolymers and their blend sample of 50/50 (wt/wt %) composition. In addition, γ-irradiation effect on TSDC spectra of samples under investigation was studied. Measurements of TSD... Show More
