Ms identification of microcystin-LR chlorination by-products

Chemosphere, 2009
Drinking water disinfection by chlorine is known to reduce concentration of microcystin, but compounds formed are rarely considered. In this work the chlorination of microcystin-LR has been studied by monitoring reactants consumption and reaction products using the linear trap quad-Orbitrap (LTQ-Orbitrap) technology.

Effects of microcystin-LR on mammalian ovaries

Reproductive Toxicology, 2023
The ovaries play critical roles in regulating oocyte maturation and sex steroid hormone production and thus are critical for female reproduction. Ovarian function relies on hormone receptors and signaling pathways, making the ovaries potential targets for environmental factors, such as microcystins (MCs).

Microcystin-LR and chemically degraded microcystin-LR electrochemical oxidation

The Analyst, 2012
Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic hepatotoxic heptapeptides produced by certain strains of freshwater cyanobacteria toxic for humans and animals. The electrochemical behaviour of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV ...

The latest advances in the reproductive toxicity of microcystin-LR

Environmental Research, 2021
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is an emerging environmental pollutant produced by cyanobacteria that poses a threat to wild life and human health. In recent years, the reproductive toxicity of MC-LR has gained widespread attention, a large number of toxicological studies have filled the gaps in past research and more molecular mechanisms have been elucidated ...

Electrochemical Degradation of Microcystin-LR

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2005
Microcystin-LR present in drinking water sources poses a considerable threat to human health. Conventional oxidation treatment systems, such as photocatalysis and ferrate oxidation, demonstrated the formation of by-products detectable in the treated microcystin-LR solution.

Microcystin-LR Adsorption by Activated Carbon

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2001
We use a selection of wood-based and coconut-based activated carbons to investigate the factors controlling the removal of the hepatotoxin microcystin-LR (m-LR) from aqueous solutions. The wood carbons contain both micropores and mesopores. The coconut carbons contain micropores only.

Electrochemical and conformational studies of microcystin–LR

Analytica Chimica Acta, 2000
Abstract The detection of microcystins in freshwater and in biological samples has become increasingly important due to their toxicity and tumor-promoting nature. This paper describes the electrochemical characterization of microcystin–LR using cyclic voltammetry and anodic stripping voltammetry at different substrates of gold, platinum, glassy ...
