Human Illnesses and Animal Deaths Associated with Freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms—Kansas
Toxins, 2015 Freshwater harmful algal bloom (FHAB) toxins can cause morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, and the incidence of FHABs in the United States and Kansas has increased. In 2010, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) developed

The role of human cytochrome P450 2E1 in liver inflammation and fibrosis. [PDF]
, 2017 Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) plays an important role in alcohol and toxin metabolism by catalyzing the conversion of substrates into more polar metabolites and producing reactive oxygen species.

Cloning and expression of first gene for biodegrading microcystins by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05 [PDF]
, 2010 Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs) in natural waters are a growing environmental problem worldwide because microcystins (MCs) produced by cyanobacteria are potent hepatotoxins and tumor promoters. MCs are resistant against physical and chemical factors.

Ammonia as a neuro- and hepatotoxin: clinical aspects
Медицинский совет, 2015 Ammonia is the most studied and, apparently, the most critical pathogenetic factor for hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The pathogenesis of PE is varied depending on the type of liver damage. Apart from neurotoxic properties, ammonia has general cytotoxic as

In Vitro Mutagenic and Genotoxic Assessment of a Mixture of the Cyanotoxins Microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin [PDF]
, 2019 The co-occurrence of various cyanobacterial toxins can potentially induce toxic effects different than those observed for single cyanotoxins, as interaction phenomena cannot be discarded. Moreover, mixtures are a more probable exposure scenario. However,

Experimental models used for the study of antihepatotoxic agents
Journal of Acute Disease, 2012 Both in vitro and in vivo liver models have been developed in the past years to study the hepatoprotective agents. These systems measure the ability of the test drug to prevent or cure liver toxicity (induced by various hepatotoxins) in experimental ...

Valproate (VPA)-Associated Hepatotoxicity
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1993 The metabolic pattern of VPA in 170 epileptic patients without symptoms or signs of hepatic side effects was compared to that in 11 patients with early symptoms and signs of hepatotoxicity and in 5 children with fulminant liver failure.
