Vanadium compounds have been primarily investigated as potential therapeutic agents for
the treatment of various major health issues, including cancer, atherosclerosis, and …

Vanadium is special in at least two respects: on the one hand, the tetrahedral anion
vanadate (v) is similar to the phosphate anion; vanadate can thus interact with various …

Studies of metal uptake, metabolism and excretion by single bacterial, yeast, plant and
animal cells is a widespread area of research, yet little is known about the reactivity and …

Solution synthesis afforded five novel neutral heteroleptic octahedral paramagnetic
mononuclear oxidovanadium (IV) complexes of general composition [VO (bpy) L], where L is …

The understanding of the role of vanadium enzymes and of vanadium compounds (VCs) in
biology, as well as the design of new vanadium-based species for catalysis, materials …

Vanadium is an element ubiquitously present in our planet's crust and thus there are several
organisms that use vanadium for activity or function of proteins. Examples are the vanadium …

Vanadium has been known for centuries to have beneficial effects on health and has the
potential to be used as an alternative to other diabetic and anticancer medicines. The …

Vanadium is a hard, silver-grey transition metal found in at least 60 minerals and fossil fuel
deposits. Its oxide and other vanadium salts are toxic to humans, but the toxic effects depend …

Studies of antidiabetic vanadium compounds, specifically the organic vanadate esters, are
reviewed with regard to their chemistry and biological properties. The compounds are …

Vanadium is omnipresent in trace amounts in the environment, in food and also in the
