Medicine, 2007 Ricin is a type 2 ribosome-inactivating protein derived from the beans of the castor oil plant, Ricinus communis. It exerts toxicity by inhibiting protein synthesis. Many of the features seen in poisoning can be explained by ricin-induced endothelial cell damage, which leads to fluid and protein leakage and tissue oedema, causing so-called ‘vascular ...

A Critical Overview of Common Foodborne Toxicants and Methods for Their Reliable Detection
Food Frontiers, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food is an essential commodity for human health. However, toxicants such as mycotoxins, heavy metals, acrylamide, and pesticides can be present in food either naturally or through processing, packaging, or some anthropogenic activities. A thorough review of carefully selected studies revealed that climate change and pandemics have led to an ...
