Placental and Fetal Toxicity of Albendazole Sulphoxide in Wistar Rats
(American College of Veterinary Toxicologists, 2003-06)
This work characterized the effects of albendazole sulphoxided (ABZSO) on placental and fetal parameters in Wistar rats on day 20of gestation. (ABZSO) was fed in laboratory chow at 0. 2.5. 5. 10. 20 or 30 mg/kg/d from day ...
Bacillus subtilis as a bioindicator for estimating pentachlorophenol toxicity and concentration
(Springer Heidelberg, 2009-03-10)
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and its sodium salt (Na-PCP) are extremely toxic chemicals responsible forimportant soil and groundwater pollution, mainly caused by wastes from wood-treatment plants, because chlorinated phenols ...
Enhancement of copper toxicity in cultures of Dictyosphaerium pulchellum (Chlorophyceae) by mucilage removal
(Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2005-04)
Extracellular mucilage from cells of Dictyosphaerium pulchellum Wood 1872 was removed by controlled ultrasonication. Batches of exponentially growing cells, with and without mucilaginous capsules, were incubated during 48 ...
Agricultural biomass/waste as adsorbents for toxic metal decontamination of aqueous solutions
(Elsevier Science, 2019-12-01)
Toxic metals can be present in the environment, causing negative effects on the ecosystem and human health. Although several technologies have been used for decontamination purposes, biosorption is an environmentally ...
Sorting the main bottlenecks to use paper-based microbial fuel cells as convenient and practical analytical devices for environmental toxicity testing
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Three of the primary bottlenecks, which should be consider for practical, point-of-need use of microbial fuel cell (MFC) analytical devices were surpassed in this work: i) the use of a diffusive barrier, hence, an electrogenic ...
A new P. putida instrumental toxicity bioassay
(Springer, 2015-05)
Here, we present a new toxicity bioassay (CO2-TOX), able to detect toxic or inhibitory compounds in water samples, based on the quantification of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 CO2 production. The metabolically produced CO2 was ...
Acute and subacute toxicity evaluation of ethanolic extract from fruits of schinus molle in rats
(Elsevier, 2007-09-25)
Ethanolic and hexanic extracts from fruits and leaves of Schinus molle showed ability to control several insect pests. Potential vertebrate toxicity associated with insecticidal plants requires investigation before ...
Effect of a Single Dose of Cadmium on Pregnant Wistar Rats and their Offspring
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2014-10)
Cadmium (Cd) is a well-known toxicant targeting many organs, among them placenta. This heavy metal also has embryonary and foetal toxicity. This study was undertaken to analyse the effect of a single Cd dose administered ...
Mixture toxicity of copper and nonylphenol on the embryo-larval development of Rhinella arenarum
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-02)
Copper and nonylphenol are two commonly found chemicals in the aquatic environment, particularly in the distribution area of the amphibian Rhinella arenarum. The current work evaluated the lethal toxicity of equitoxic and ...
Monitoring of toxicity of As(V) solutions by AMPHITOX test without and with treatment with zerovalent iron nanoparticles
(Elsevier Science, 2018-06)
Changes in toxicity of As(V) solutions from acute to chronic exposure have been evaluated by the AMPHITOX test. This test employs Rhinella arenarum, a widely distributed toad in Argentine areas. LOEC values were 6.37 and ...
