Labaditin, a cyclic peptide with rich biotechnological potential: preliminary toxicological studies and structural changes in water and lipid membrane environment
(Springer, 2011-01-01)
Cyclic peptides isolated from the plants of the Euphorbiaceae family have been largely studied due to their rigid conformation, which is considered significant for biologic activity. The peptide Labaditin (L(0)) and its ...
Ecological and toxicological responses in a multistressor scenario: are monitoring programs showing the stressors or just showing stress? A case study in Brazil
(Elsevier B. V., 2015)
The Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP) is located in the Brazilian State of São Paulo and reservoirs in this region are vital for water supply and energy production. Changes in economic, social, and demographic trends ...
Rosuvastatin exposure in female Wistar rats alters uterine contractility and do not show evident (anti)estrogenic effects
(2021-01-01)
Statins are 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor drugs that lead to serum-cholesterol-lowering effects. Rosuvastatin, a third-generation statin, has shown better results in reducing cholesterol ...
Multiple endpoints of polylactic acid biomicroplastic toxicity in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-08-01)
Although the toxicity of conventional microplastic types (i.e., petroleum derivatives) in different organisms is already known, knowledge about the effects of alternative biopolymers on aquatic vertebrates remains incipient. ...
?Zebrafish as an animal model for food safety research: trends in the animal research?
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2019-10-02)
Toxicity studies in mammals continue to be the most appropriate model for predicting risk in humans, but they tend to be expensive and time-consuming. In the aftermath of the genetic sequencing of zebrafish (Danio rerio), ...
Identification of Sudan III-(deoxy)-guanosine adducts formed in situ in a reaction with no catalyst
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014)
In vitro nanotoxicity of single-walled carbon nanotube-dendrimer nanocomplexes against murine myoblast cells
(Elsevier IrelandShannon, 2013-05)
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and polyamidoamine dendrimers (PAMAM) have been proposed for a variety of biomedical applications. The combination of both molecules makes this new composite nanomaterial highly ...
In Vitro Contraction of Isolated Cauda Epididymal Duct Smooth Muscle as a Complimentary Approach to Physiological, Pathological, Toxicological, and Pharmacological Studies on Epididymal Function
(2021-01-01)
Contraction of cauda epididymal duct (CE) smooth muscle is one of the very first events of the seminal emission phase of ejaculation. The contraction of CE smooth muscle is governed by a complex interaction of hormones, ...
Alternaria in Food: Ecophysiology, Mycotoxin Production and Toxicology
(Korean Society of Mycology, 2015-06-30)
Alternaria species are common saprophytes or pathogens of a wide range of plants pre- and post-harvest. This review considers the relative importance of Alternaria species, their ecology, competitiveness, production of ...
