Cadmium neurotoxicity

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2007
The Cd has been recognized as one of the most toxic environmental and industrial pollutants due to its ability to induce disturbances in several organs and tissues following either acute or chronic exposure. This review accounts for the recent evidence on its mechanisms to induce neurotoxicity, the role of the blood-brain barrier, oxidative stress ...

Neurotoxicity of meperidine

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1985
Meperidine neurotoxicity manifests as shakiness, tremors, myoclonus, and seizures. It is generally seen with repeated parenteral use. We report a case of meperidine neurotoxicity from oral use by an otherwise healthy woman. The pharmacology and clinical implications are discussed.

Acrylamide neurotoxicity

open access: yesNutritional Neuroscience, 2013
Acrylamide, a food contaminant, belongs to a large class of structurally similar toxic chemicals, 'type-2 alkenes', to which humans are widely exposed. Besides, occupational exposure to acrylamide has received wide attention through the last decades.

The neurotoxicity of tunicamycin

Toxicology, 1988
The neurotoxicity of tunicamycin, an inhibitor of glycosylation of glycoproteins and a potential anti-tumour agent, was investigated by injection of the chemical directly into the lateral ventricle of the brain of rats. A delayed neurological syndrome developed due to anoxic necrosis of brain cells and spongy degeneration of the white matter.

Neurotoxicity of aluminum

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1984
Aluminum is the most abundant metal and the third most common element. Soluble aluminum salts can be absorbed from the stomach and the metal is deposited in the gray matter in the brain. Following exposure to aluminum, aggregates of neurofilaments accumulate in neurons.

Manganese Neurotoxicity

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004
Abstract: Manganese is an essential trace element and it is required for many ubiquitous enzymatic reactions. While manganese deficiency rarely occurs in humans, manganese toxicity is known to occur in certain occupational settings through inhalation of manganese‐containing dust.

Glucose neurotoxicity

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2008
Neurons have a constantly high glucose demand, and unlike muscle cells they cannot accommodate episodic glucose uptake under the influence of insulin. Neuronal glucose uptake depends on the extracellular concentration of glucose, and cellular damage can ensue after persistent episodes of hyperglycaemia--a phenomenon referred to as glucose neurotoxicity.

The neurotoxicity of ethanol

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1983
Alterations in nervous system functioning following acute and chronic ethanol exposure have been studied in a great number of experimental investigations. Results from many of these investigations can be difficult to interpret, particularly since a variety of techniques and exposure models are employed.

Neurotoxicity of Treatment

2009
With the advent of effective treatment regimes increasing survival rates, delayed treatment-related cognitive dysfunction has been recognized as a significant problem. It is considered the most frequent complication among long-term survivors. WBRT may lead to deep brain atrophy and leukoencephalopathy associated with severe cognitive dysfunction ...
