Biochemical and Molecular Insights Into Monocrotaline‐Induced Hepatotoxicity: An Experimental Mouse Study

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monocrotaline (MCT), a plant‐derived pyrrolizidine alkaloid, is well known for its hepatotoxic effects. However, full elucidation of the mechanisms underlying MCT‐induced hepatotoxicity, as well as the development of reliable biomarkers for early detection and monitoring, requires an integrated evaluation of biochemical, molecular, and ...

Vitamin B12 deficiency in an infant secondary to nutritional deficiency and an inadequate maternal diet

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin B12 (cobalamin, Cbl) is an essential micronutrient for DNA synthesis and neurological development. Its deficiency in infants, although infrequent in developed countries, can cause megaloblastic anemia, psychomotor delay, and neurological damage that may become irreversible if not treated early.
