Taxonomic diversity and toxicological assessment of Cyanobacteria in Moroccan inland waters [PDF]
, 2009 Research on the ecology, biodiversity and toxicology of cyanobacteria in Moroccan inland waters has been carried out since 1994. The results demonstrate the existence of several taxa of cyanobacteria. Most of them are toxic, bloom‑forming species present

Hepatotoxin microcystin-LR extraction optimization [PDF]
Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2009 Several cyanobacterial genera produce toxic secondary metabolites, the most well-known of which are the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCYSTs). Microcystin analyses in drinking water are a requirement of the Health Ministry (Regulation 518/2004) in Brazil, but this regulation does not establish which extraction and analytical method should be used; toxin ...

Reference genes for real-time PCR quantification of microRNAs and messenger RNAs in rat models of hepatotoxicity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Hepatotoxicity is associated with major changes in liver gene expression induced by xenobiotic exposure. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.

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 ...
