Yaqi Hu et al.
Biosensors & bioelectronics, 47, 45-49 (2013-04-03)
A novel light "on-off" photoelectrochemical sensing for the sensitive determination of hydroquinone was developed based on the porphyrin-functionalized Au nanoparticles on graphene (porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly modified onto graphene sheets using NaBH4 as reductant and the porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites

A seed's ability to properly germinate largely depends on its oxidative poise. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is controlled by a large gene network, which includes the gene coding for the hydrogen peroxide-scavenging enzyme

Critical reviews in toxicology, 37(10), 887-914 (2007-11-21)
The toxicology of hydroquinone has been reviewed on a number of previous occasions. This review targets its potential for carcinogenicity and possible modes of carcinogenic action. The evaluation made by IARC (1999) of its carcinogenic risk to humans was that

Ultrathin crystalline CdSe nanosheets have been synthesized through a facile solution processes. Their application to simultaneous electrochemical determination of catechol and hydroquinone is demonstrated. The few-layer single crystalline CdSe modified electrode exhibits strong electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of a
