Rapid and Highly Sensitive Non-Competitive Immunoassay for Specific Detection of Nodularin
Nodularin (NOD) is a cyclic penta-peptide hepatotoxin mainly produced by Nodularia spumigena, reported from the brackish water bodies of various parts of the world.

In Vitro Mutagenic and Genotoxic Assessment of a Mixture of the Cyanotoxins Microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin [PDF]
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,

Ammonia as a neuro- and hepatotoxin: clinical aspects
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

Studies of liver phosphorylase in hepatic injuries. I. Alteration in enzyme activity [PDF]
Phosphorylase activities (total and a form) were determined in the livers of experimental hepatic injuries with carbon tetrachloride or galactosamine and the livers of patients with liver diseases.

Experimental models used for the study of antihepatotoxic agents
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 ...

Cloning and expression of first gene for biodegrading microcystins by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05 [PDF]
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.

Valproate (VPA)-Associated Hepatotoxicity
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.

Dimethyl nitrosamine (DMN) is a known hepatotoxin, carcinogen, and mutagen. This study is therefore carried out to investigate the therapeutic effects of syringic acid (SYRA) and ascorbic acid (ASCA) in DMN-induced hepatic injury in rats.
