Phytoestrogens and Health Effects

Nutrients, 2023
Phytoestrogens are literally estrogenic substances of plant origin. Although these substances are useful for plants in many aspects, their estrogenic properties are essentially relevant to their predators. As such, phytoestrogens can be considered to be substances potentially dedicated to plant–predator interaction.

Aerosol characterization and pulmonary responses in rats after short-term inhalation of fumes generated during resistance spot welding of galvanized steel

Toxicology Reports, 2017
Resistance spot welding is a common process to join metals in the automotive industry. Adhesives are often used as sealers to seams of metals that are joined.

Seasonal Variations in PM2.5-induced Oxidative Stress and Up-regulation of Pro-inflammatory Mediators

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2020
Inhaling particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) has been demonstrated to induce season-dependent adverse health effects. As inflammation and oxidative stress play a critical role in PM2.5-induced health effects, this study ...

High-fat western diet-consumption alters crystalline silica-induced serum adipokines, inflammatory cytokines and arterial blood flow in the F344 rat

Toxicology Reports, 2022
Adipose tissue (AT) plays a central role in the maintenance of whole-body energy homeostasis through release of adipokines. High-fat Western diet (HFWD)-consumption contributes to obesity, disruption of adipocyte metabolism, chronic systemic inflammation,

Mitsui-7, heat-treated, and nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes elicit genotoxicity in human lung epithelial cells

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2019
Background The unique physicochemical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have led to many industrial applications. Due to their low density and small size, MWCNT are easily aerosolized in the workplace making respiratory exposures likely

Evaluation of the Pulmonary Toxicity of a Fume Generated from a Nickel-, Copper-Based Electrode to be Used as a Substitute in Stainless Steel Welding

Environmental Health Insights, 2014
Epidemiology has indicated a possible increase in lung cancer among stainless steel welders. Chromium (Cr) is a primary component of stainless steel welding fume. There is an initiative to develop alternative welding consumables [nickel (Ni)- and copper (

Amelioration of PM2.5-induced lung toxicity in rats by nutritional supplementation with fish oil and Vitamin E

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated with respiratory morbidity and mortality. Identification of interventional measures that are efficacious against PM2.5-induced toxicity may provide public health benefits.
