Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Ciliados (Protozoa) de sedimentos secos de una charca temporaria de la Argentina [PDF]

, 2009
Temporary ponds represent special environments that are inhabited by organisms adapted to changing environmental conditions. Ciliates are able to survive complete loss of water in these transient habitats through cyst formation. Nevertheless, ciliates

Safety Assessment and Hypoglycemic Effect of Moringa oleifera Lam. Seed Lectin (WSMoL) in Alloxan‐Induced Diabetic Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds contain WSMoL, a lectin previously studied for toxicity and pharmacological effects. In this study, we investigated WSMoL (10, 25, or 50 mg/kg i.p.) for acute and 14‐day repeated‐dose toxicity, as well as genotoxicity, in Swiss mice.

Analysis of chromosomal radiosensitivity of healthy BRCA2 mutation carriers and non-carriers in BRCA families with the G2 micronucleus assay [PDF]

, 2017
Breast cancer risk drastically increases in individuals with a heterozygous germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, while it is estimated to equal the population risk for relatives without the familial mutation (non-carriers).

Bisphenol A Induces DNA Damage and Differential Cytotoxicity in Thyroid Cells: High‐Dose Effects Challenge Regulatory Thresholds

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptor, has been implicated in carcinogenesis; however, its effects on thyroid cells remain unclear. This study investigated BPA‐induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in thyroid cell lines, including normal follicular (Nthy‐ori 3‐1), papillary carcinoma (TPC‐1 and BCPAP) and anaplastic

De Novo Small Supernumerary Marker Chromosomes Arising From Partial Trisomy Rescue

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (SMCs) are rare cytogenetic abnormalities. De novo small SMCs, particularly those combined with uniparental disomy (UPD), are assumed to result from incomplete trisomy rescue.

Evaluation of DNA/Chromosome Integrity and Cell Death in Human Metabolically Noncompetent and Competent Cells Exposed to N′‐(3,5‐Difluorobenzylidene)Pyridine‐4‐Carbohydrazide

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The N‐acylhydrazone scaffold is recognized as a privileged structure for the design of bioactive substances with increasing applications in medicinal chemistry research. Ensuring the safety of newly developed molecules is a critical step for both human health and environmental protection. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic

Antigenotoxicity protection of Carapa guianensis oil against mitomycin C and cyclophosphamide in mouse bone marrow

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible protective of C. guianensis oil against MMC and CP, which are direct- and indirect-acting chemical mutagens, using the micronucleus test. Three experiments were performed. First the C. guianensis oil was

Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity Exerted by Pesticides in Different Biotic Matrices-An Overview of More Than a Decade of Experimental Evaluation [PDF]

, 2014
Agrochemicals represent one of the most important sources of environmental pollution. Although attempts to reduce agrochemical use through organic agricultural practices and the use of other technologies to control pests continue, the problem is still

Cellular Responses to Tartrazine and Sulfanilic Acid Exposure in BEAS‐2B Cells: Viability, Apoptosis, and DNA Damage

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tartrazine is a synthetic azo dye widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products, resulting in extensive human exposure, while its toxicity and that of its primary metabolite, sulfanilic acid, remain controversial. Considering the reported association of tartrazine with hypersensitivity and allergic‐like reactions, human bronchial ...
