PINK1/Parkin-Mediated Mitophagy Partially Protects against Inorganic Arsenic-Induced Hepatic Macrophage Polarization in Acute Arsenic-Exposed Mice

Molecules, 2022
Inorganic arsenic is a well-known environmental toxicant and carcinogen, and there is overwhelming evidence for an association between this metalloid poisoning and hepatic diseases. However, the biological mechanism involved is not well characterized. In

Chemical Composition, Amino Acids, Phenolic Profiles and Bioavailability of Minerals in Livingstone Potato (Plectranthus esculentus) as Affected by Different Processing Techniques

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Boiling retained the nutrients and polyphenol compounds in Plectranthus esculentus tubers better than frying or roasting. A bioavailability study showed that the phytates and oxalates in the tuber may not affect the bioavailabilities of calcium, zinc, or iron in Plectranthus esculentus tubers when eaten.

Coenzyme Q10 protected against arsenite and enhanced the capacity of 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid to ameliorate arsenite-induced toxicity in mice

BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2021
Background Arsenic poisoning affects millions of people. The inorganic forms of arsenic are more toxic. Treatment for arsenic poisoning relies on chelation of extracellularly circulating arsenic molecules by 2,3-dimecaptosuccinic acid (DMSA).
