Herbal hepatotoxicity by kava: Update on pipermethystine, flavokavain B, and mould hepatotoxins as primarily assumed culprits

open access: yes, 2011
Herbal hepatotoxicity by the anxiolytic kava (Piper methysticum Forst. f.) emerged unexpectedly and was observed in a few patients worldwide. Liver injury occurred after the use of traditional aqueous kava extracts in the South Pacific region and of ...

Transmission of Microcystins in Natural Systems and Resource Processes: A Review of Potential Risks to Humans Health

open access: yesToxins, 2023
The rapid rise of microcystins (MCs) poses a serious threat to global freshwater ecosystems and has become an important issue of global public health. MCs have considerable stability and are the most widely distributed hepatotoxins.

Quantitative analyses of liver RFP intensity and liver size in LiPan fry treated with four established hepatotoxins.

open access: yes, 2014
The four hepatotoxins used, acetaminophen, aspirin, isoniazid and phenylbutazone, are indicated at the top of each panel. At least eight larvae were analysed in each concentration group.

Noncompetitive Chromogenic Lateral-Flow Immunoassay for Simultaneous Detection of Microcystins and Nodularin

open access: yesBiosensors, 2019
Cyanobacterial blooms cause local and global health issues by contaminating surface waters. Microcystins and nodularins are cyclic cyanobacterial peptide toxins comprising numerous natural variants.

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry application, for the determination of extracellular hepatotoxins in Irish lake and drinking waters

open access: yes, 2007
A novel method for the determination of hepatotoxins; microcystins (MCs), and nodularin (Nod) in lake water and domestic chlorinated tap water has been developed using liquid chromatography hyphenated with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass ...

Immunotoxic Effects Induced by Microcystins and Cylindrospermopsin: A Review

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Cyanotoxin occurrence is gaining importance due to anthropogenic activities, climate change and eutrophication. Among them, Microcystins (MCs) and Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) are the most frequently studied due to their ubiquity and toxicity.

Effect of rat exposure to hepatotoxins on liver expressions of candidate reference genes.

open access: yes, 2012
The expression of candidate reference genes for microRNA and mRNA normalization in the liver of rats treated with the hepatotoxins and their respective vehicles are shown. The livers were evaluated 24 h after rats were intraperitoneally administered with:
