Mitochondrial and liver oxidative stress alterations induced by N‐butyl‐N‐(4‐hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine: relevance for hepatotoxicityJournal of Applied Toxicology - Tập 33 Số 6 - Trang 434-443 - 2013
Maria Manuel Oliveira, José Teixeira, Cármen Nóbrega, Luís Félix, Vilma A. Sardão, Aura Colaço, Paula A. Oliveira, Francisco Peixoto
ABSTRACTThe most significant toxicological effect of nitrosamines like
N‐butyl‐N‐(4‐hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) is their carcinogenic activity,
which may result from exposure to a single large dose or from chronic exposure
to relatively small doses. However, its effects on mitochondrial liver
bioenergetics were never investigated. Liver is the principal organ responsible
for BBN metabolic activ... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of glyphosate and glyphosate‐based herbicides on the freshwater environmentJournal of Applied Toxicology - Tập 34 Số 5 - Trang 458-479 - 2014
Robert D. Annett, Hamid R. Habibi, Alice Hontela
ABSTRACTGlyphosate [N‐(phosphonomethyl) glycine] is a broad spectrum, post
emergent herbicide and is among the most widely used agricultural chemicals
globally. Initially developed to control the growth of weed species in
agriculture, this herbicide also plays an important role in both modern
silviculture and domestic weed control. The creation of glyphosate tolerant crop
species has significantly... hiện toàn bộ
Prevention by silymarin of membrane alterations in acute CCI4 liver damageJournal of Applied Toxicology - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 275-279 - 1990
Pablo Muriel, Marisabel Mourelle
AbstractThe effect of silymarin on liver lipid peroxidation and membrane lipid
alterations induced by an acute dose of CCI4 was studied. Four groups of animals
were treated with CCI4, CCI4 + silymarin, silymarin and its vehicles. CCI4 was
given orally (0.4 g 100 g−1 body wt.) and silymarin was administered i.p. All
animals were sacrificed 24 h after the treatments. Liver lipid peroxidation was

Protection against thallium hepatotoxicity by SilymarinJournal of Applied Toxicology - Tập 8 Số 5 - Trang 351-354 - 1988
Marisabel Mourelle, Liliana Favari, José Luis Amezcua
AbstractThe effect of silymarin (100 mg/kg i.p.) on the biochemical indicators
of liver damage induced by thallium (10 mg/kg p.o.) was studied in rats. The
production of malondialdehyde and the content of reduced glutathione in the
liver were measured as indicators of lipid peroxidation. Thallium intoxication
increased the serum activities of glutamic pyruvic transaminase, gamma‐glutamyl
transpept... hiện toàn bộ
Review of the health effects of methylmercuryJournal of Applied Toxicology - Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 113-133 - 1985
M. J. Inskip, J. K. Piotrowski
AbstractThe study critically reviews recent data relating to the health effects
of methylmercury in man and the attendant dose‐response relationships. New data
obtained from animal studies, including pre‐ and postnatal exposure, are also
examined. The consumption of fish and fish produce represents the major source
of methylmercury exposure in the general population. Reported mercury
concentration... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of the surface coating on the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and uptake of gold nanoparticles in human HepG2 cellsJournal of Applied Toxicology - Tập 33 Số 10 - Trang 1111-1119 - 2013
Sónia Fraga, Helena Faria, Maria Elisa Soares, José Alberto Duarte, Leonor Soares, Eulália Pereira, Cristiana Pereira, João Paulo Teixeira, Maria de Lourdes Bastos, Helena Carmo
ABSTRACTThe toxicological profile of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) remains
controversial. Significant efforts to develop surface coatings to improve
biocompatibility have been carried out. In vivo biodistribution studies have
shown that the liver is a target for AuNPs accumulation. Therefore, we
investigated the effects induced by ~20 nm spherical AuNPs (0–200 μM Au) with
two surface coatings, citrat... hiện toàn bộ
Aflatoxin biomarkers in hair may facilitate long‐term exposure studiesJournal of Applied Toxicology - Tập 37 Số 4 - Trang 395-399 - 2017
Innocent Mupunga, Christo D. Izaaks, Leshweni Jeremia Shai, David R. Katerere
AbstractAflatoxins are highly toxic fungal metabolites produced by some members
of the Aspergillus species. They are low molecular weight lipophilic compounds
that are easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. They contaminate most
staple foods, including maize, peanuts, peanut butter and sorghum mainly in the
tropics where hot and humid conditions promote fungal growth. Absorbed
aflatoxins... hiện toàn bộ
Calibration and validation of a physiologically based model for soman intoxication in the rat, marmoset, guinea pig and pigJournal of Applied Toxicology - Tập 32 Số 9 - Trang 673-686 - 2012
Kaizhen Chen, Kok‐Yong Seng
ABSTRACTA physiologically based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD)
model has been developed for low, medium and high levels of soman intoxication
in the rat, marmoset, guinea pig and pig. The primary objective of this model
was to describe the pharmacokinetics of soman after intravenous, intramuscular
and subcutaneous administration in the rat, marmoset, guinea pig, and pig as
well as i... hiện toàn bộ
