Micronuclei and Other Nuclear Abnormalities in Patella Limpet as Biomarkers of Cytogenotoxicity in Recreational Port Waters

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the growth in human population and economic activities has led to an increase in maritime traffic. This rise puts additional pressure on marine environments, vessel fuel spills being considered to have a major impact on the ecosystem.

Micronucleus induction by low doses of X-rays in Vicia faba root tips [PDF]

, 1987
Studies on the micronucleus test in Vicia faba root tips (VM test) were carried out in order to estimate the effects at low doses of X-rays (1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 R). The control value of micronucleus frequency is about 0.44/1000 cells.

Abnormal cleavage patterns in equine in vitro‐produced embryos lead to higher early pregnancy loss

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Background Despite significant advances, in vitro production (IVP) of equine embryos continues to lack standardised embryo classification criteria and is associated with increased rates of early pregnancy loss compared with in vivo‐derived blastocysts.

The micronucleus test—most widely used in vivo genotoxicity test— [PDF]

Genes and Environment, 2016
Genotoxicity is commonly evaluated during the chemical safety assessment together with other toxicological endpoints. The micronucleus test is always included in many genotoxic test guidelines for long time in many classes of chemicals, e.g., pharmaceutical chemicals, agricultural chemicals, food additives.

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as

Genotoxicity evaluation of alpha-linolenic acid-diacylglycerol oil

Toxicology Reports, 2016
The alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-diacylglycerol (DAG) oil is an edible oil enriched with DAG (>80%) and ALA (>50%). Although DAG oil, which mainly consists of oleic and linoleic acids has no genotoxic concerns, the fatty acid composition could affect the ...

Mycobacterium avium Subsp. paratuberculosis and Human Endogenous Retrovirus in Italian Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Immunology, EarlyView.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a recognised gastrointestinal disorder. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is implicated in IBD pathogenesis. Persistent exposure and active infections by MAP may contribute to the unsilencing of human endogenous retroviruses (HERV ...

Ground and surface water for drinking: a laboratory study on genotoxicity using plant tests

Journal of Public Health Research, 2012
Surface waters are increasingly utilized for drinking water because groundwater sources are often polluted. Several monitoring studies have detected the presence of mutagenicity in drinking water, especially from surface sources due to the reaction of ...

A comparison of transgenic rodent mutation and in vivo comet assay responses for 91 chemicals. [PDF]

, 2019
A database of 91 chemicals with published data from both transgenic rodent mutation (TGR) and rodent comet assays has been compiled. The objective was to compare the sensitivity of the two assays for detecting genotoxicity.

Polo‐like kinases and UV‐induced skin carcinogenesis: What we know and what's next

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The polo‐like kinase (PLK) family plays distinct and critical roles in the regulation of cell cycle progression, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various cancers. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a well‐established environmental factor in the development of skin cancer.
