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.

Level of natural hepatotoxin (indospicine) contamination in Australian camel meat [PDF]
Camel meat production for human consumption and pet food manufacture accounts for a relatively small part of overall red meat production in Australia. Reliable statistical data for the Australian production and consumption of camel meat are not available;

Anti-oxidant protective effects of Cassia alata in rats exposed to carbon tetrachloride
The protective activity of Cassia alata against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) – induced hepatotoxicity in rats was assessed. Crude extracts of petals of the plant in 0.5% ethanol were administered by intubation for 14 days prior to injection of 0.5ml Kg-1 ...

Metabolomic analysis indicates a pivotal role of the hepatotoxin microcystin in high light adaptation of Microcystis [PDF]
Microcystis is a freshwater cyanobacterium frequently forming nuisance blooms in the summer months. The genus belongs to the predominant producers of the potent hepatotoxin microcystin.

Summary: The PTEN gene is highly mutated in many cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma. The PTEN protein is located at different subcellular regions—PTEN at the plasma membrane suppresses PI3-kinase signaling in cell growth, whereas PTEN in the ...

Increasing Microcystis cell density enhances microcystin synthesis: a mesocosm study [PDF]
An experimental protocol using mesocosms was established to study the effect of Microcystis sp. cell abundance on microcystin production. The mesocosms (55 L) were set up in a shallow eutrophic lake and received either no (control), low (to simulate a ...

Oxidative stress biomarkers in Clarias gariepinus (Burchel, 1822) exposed to Microcystin-LR
Stress levels inflicted by microcystin-LR extracted from Microcystis aeruginosa were assessed by estimating the effects on the oxidative stress biomarkers in the liver, muscle and gill tissues of Clarias gariepinus. Microcystin-LR was administered to the
