Percutaneous Retinoid Absorption and Embryotoxicity
A single application of 17 micrograms/kg or 8.7 mg/kg all-trans-[10,11-3H2]-retinoic acid dissolved in acetone to shaved dorsal hamster skin resulted in rapid absorption and dose-dependent rates of elimination. An equation describing a two-compartment open model with a very brief lag time and first-order uptake and elimination was used to describe the ...

Polysaccharide extraction from Alhagi camelorum Fisch. was optimized, yielding ACP‐II‐1, a novel GalA‐rich, HG‐dominant pectin (26.145 kDa) containing branched RG‐I domains. ACP‐II‐1 reduced melanogenesis in forskolin‐stimulated B16F10 cells and a zebrafish model.

Reduction in paraquat embryotoxicity by ascorbic acid in Xenopus laevis
The toxicity of herbicide Paraquat (PQ, 1-1'-dimethyl-4,4'bipyridylium dichloride) in animal cells is related to its rapid reduction and instantaneous reoxidation to produce the reactive oxygen species.

Do nanoparticle physico-chemical properties and developmental exposure window influence nano ZnO embryotoxicity in Xenopus laevis? [PDF]
The growing global production of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) suggests a realistic increase in the environmental exposure to such a nanomaterial, making the knowledge of its biological reactivity and its safe-by-design synthesis mandatory.

A Waterfowl Reproduction Model to Predict Carryover Effects of Oil Spills
For wintering and migrating birds, contamination from oil and other substances may delay arrival on the breeding grounds and lead to lower body mass upon arrival. These delays and losses of body mass could lead to smaller clutch sizes and lower propensity to renest.

Anemia of inflammation is a highly prevalent secondary anemia complicating chronic inflammatory diseases. Current animal models are categorized into sterile inflammation, disease‐specific, and genetically engineered models, with comparative analysis of their modeling principles, characteristic phenotypes, and translational advantages to elucidate core ...
