Protective effect exerted by soil phosphorus on soybean subjected to arsenic and fluoride. [PDF]
Objetive: Arsenic (As) and fluoride (F) are found in groundwater and soils around the world, causing different problems to crops. Because these elements compete against phosphorus (P) in soils and plants, their relationship is complex.

Fluorescent redox-dependent labeling of lipid droplets in cultured cells by reduced phenazine methosulfate [PDF]
Natural and synthetic phenazines are widely used in biomedical sciences. In dehydrogenase histochemistry, phenazine methosulfate (PMS) is applied as a redox reagent for coupling reduced coenzymes to the reduction of tetrazolium salts into colored ...

Delta-aminolevulinic acid cytotoxic effects on human hepatocarcinoma cell lines. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Acute Intermittent Porphyria is a genetic disorder of heme metabolism, characterized by increased levels of porphyrin precursors, delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG).

Acute intermittent porphyria in Argentina: an update. [PDF]
Porphyrias are a group of metabolic diseases that arise from deficiencies in the heme biosynthetic pathway. A partial deficiency in hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) produces a hepatic disorder named Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP); the acute porphyria is more frequent in Argentina.

Experimental protoporphyria: effect of bile acids on liver damage induced by griseofulvin. [PDF]
The effect of bile acids administration to an experimental mice model of Protoporphyria produced by griseofulvin (Gris) was investigated. The aim was to assess whether porphyrin excretion could be accelerated by bile acids treatment in an attempt to diminish liver damage induced by Gris.
