CYCLIC PEPTIDE HEPATOTOXINS FROM FRESH-WATER CYANOBACTERIAL (BLUE-GREEN-ALGAE) WATERBLOOMS COLLECTED IN CENTRAL CHINA

open access: yes, 1991
Toxic cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) waterblooms have been found in several Chinese water bodies since studies began there in 1984. Waterbloom samples for this study contained Anabaena circinalis, Microcystis aeruginosa and Oscillatoria sp.

Biliary excretion of biochemically active cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) hepatotoxins in fish

open access: yes, 1996
Previous reports demonstrated that microcystin and related cyanobacteria polypeptides are rapidly cleared from plasma and accumulate in liver tissue.

A 57 year old man with chronic renal failure and cardiac tamponade who developed ischemic hepatitis

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2006
Ischemic hepatitis is an infrequent entity, usually associated with low cardiac out put. We present a case of a 57 year-old man with chronic renal failure and cardiac tamponade who developed elevation of serum alanine transferase level of 5,054 U/L ...

Effects of the Amino Acid Constituents of Microcystin Variants on Cytotoxicity to Primary Cultured Rat Hepatocytes

open access: yesToxins, 2013
Microcystins, which are cyclic heptapeptides produced by some cyanobacterial species from algal blooms, strongly inhibit serine/threonine protein phosphatase and are known as hepatotoxins.

Cyanotoxins in Serbia and water treatment procedures for their elimination [PDF]

open access: yesGeographica Pannonica, 2012
Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, mainly as a result of eutrofication and water quality deterioration. The most common cyanotoxins are cyclic peptide hepatotoxins called microcystins.

Determination of Eight Microcystins in Water by Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesRenmin Zhujiang, 2022
Microcystins (MCs) are a common class of hepatotoxins mainly produced upon the apoptosis of freshwater blue-green algae and are highly poisonous to human beings and aquatic life.It is of great significance to establish an accurate and rapid detection ...

Exploring Marine Cyanobacteria for Lead Compounds of Pharmaceutical Importance

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
The Ocean, which is called the “mother of origin of life,” is also the source of structurally unique natural products that are mainly accumulated in living organisms. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes used as food by humans.

The Fate of Microcystins in the Environment and Challenges for Monitoring

open access: yesToxins, 2014
Microcystins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria that act as hepatotoxins in higher organisms. These toxins can be altered through abiotic processes, such as photodegradation and adsorption, as well as through biological processes via ...

SIRT3 is required for liver regeneration but not for the beneficial effect of nicotinamide riboside

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2021
Liver regeneration is critical to survival after traumatic injuries, exposure to hepatotoxins, or surgical interventions, yet the underlying signaling and metabolic pathways remain unclear.
