Accumulation of paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins in the bivalve Aulacomya ater and two carnivorous gastropods concholepas concholepas and Argobuccinum ranelliformes during an Alexandrium catenella bloom in Southern Chile
(1998)
In the early fall of 1996, a bloom of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella occurred in a fjord in the southern part of Chile that resulted in very high levels of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxicity (up ...
Effect of a single dose of malathion on spermatogenesis in mice
(2003)
Aim: To observe the acute effect of the organophosphorous insecticide malathion on testicular function in mice. Methods: The effects of a single dose of malathion [240 mg/kg (1/12 LD 50)] on plasma acetylcholinesterase ...
LmrBPP9: A synthetic bradykinin-potentiating peptide from Lachesis muta rhombeata venom that inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in vitro and reduces the blood pressure of hypertensive rats
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-04-01)
Bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPPs) are an important group of toxins present in Lachesis muta rhombeata venom. They act directly at renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, through the inhibition of angiotensin-converting ...

Structural and functional characterization of suramin-bound MjTX-I from Bothrops moojeni suggests a particular myotoxic mechanism
(2018-12-01)
Local myonecrosis is the main event resulting from snakebite envenomation by the Bothrops genus and, frequently, it is not efficiently neutralized by antivenom administration. Proteases, phospholipases A2 (PLA2) and PLA2-like ...

(2013-11-06)
Abstract
Background
The testis-specific isoform of angiotensin-converting enzyme (tACE) is exclusively expressed in germ cells during spermatogenesis. Although the exact role ...
