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 we...... 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 cr...... 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... hiện toàn bộ
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 trans...... 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 populatio...... 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 sph...... 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...... hiện toàn bộ
