This study assessed the developmental toxicities of water-soluble carbon black wastes (CBW) extract (1:5, w/v) in zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio). Acute embryonic toxicity was performed following OECD guideline 236. Analysis using ICP-OES revealed that nickel (Ni) and vanadium (V) were predominant
OBJECTIVE
Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant and protects against lipid peroxidation in cerebral membrane. The objective of the study was to investigate protective effects of ascorbic acid on lipid peroxidative damage and perturbation of enzymes, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and
BACKGROUND
This mini-review describes the toxic effects of vanadium pentoxide inhalation principally in the workplace and associated complications with breathing and respiration. Although there are some material safety data sheets available detailing the handling, hazards and toxicity of vanadium
Environmental toxicants invariably affect all biological organisms resulting to sufferings ranging from subclinical to debilitating clinical conditions. This novel research aimed to determine the toxic burdens of increased environmental elements in some vital organs/tissues of the wild animals
We have recently shown that the spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats with underlying cardiovascular disease exhibited greater pulmonary vascular leakage and oxidative stress than healthy normotensive (Wistar Kyoto, WKY) rats after a 3-day inhalation exposure to residual oil fly ash (ROFA) particles
The mucosal safety of the combination antiretroviral spermicide,WHI-07 [5-bromo-6-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-3'-azidothymidine-5'-(p-bromophenyl)-methoxy alaninyl phosphate] and vanadocene dithiocarbamate (VDDTC), was evaluated in 3 different animal models. Twenty-seven NZW rabbits in four subgroups were
It is well-known that patients with diabetes mellitus have worse clinical outcomes following acute ischemic stroke. The intensifying effects of diabetes on ischemic brain injury have been shown to be mostly due to hyperglycemia, rather than the lack of insulin direct effects on brain. It is also
Bis-cyclopentadienyl complexes of vanadium(IV) or vanadocenes are rapid and potent inhibitors of human sperm motility with potential as a new class of contraceptive agents. We investigated the toxicity potential of intravaginally administered gel-microemulsion formulation of two representative
Vanadate at a dosage level of 0.9 mg V/kg per day produced acute toxic signs in rats when injected subcutaneously for 16 days. These signs were weakness, loss of appetite, dehydration, significant reduction in body weight, nose bleeding, and death. The pathological and biochemical changes were most
