Preliminary results from the National Toxicology Program (NTP) bioassays of furan given by gavage indicate the induction of hepatocellular carcinomas in male F-344 rats and in both sexes of B6C3F1 mice, and cholangiocarcinomas in both sexes of rats. To assess the genotoxicity of furan, chemically
Fatty acids from fish such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are associated with improved brain function, whereas furan fatty acids (FFAs) also found in fish oil at low levels (1%) are thought to have antioxidant properties. Understanding their effects in astrocytes is important as these cells are
Furan serves as an intermediate in the synthesis and preparation of numerous linear polymers used to prepare temperature-resistant structural laminates and to prepare copolymers used in machine dishwashing products as alternatives to phosphorus- and nitrogen-containing detergents. Toxicology and
Furan derivatives occur widely in the environment, and several of these compounds cause necrosis of target cells within certain organs, including the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs. The tissue specificity may vary from compound to compound. For individual compounds, the specificity may be greatly
The reproductive toxicity associated with furan exposure in both animals and humans has been documented. Protocatechuic acid (PCA), a dietary polyphenolic chemical, reportedly elicits beneficial effects on the male reproductive system. However, the influence of PCA on the reproductive toxicity
Diosbulbin B (DIOB), a furanoid, is a major constituent of herbal medicine Dioscorea bulbifera L. Exposure to DIOB caused liver injury in humans and experimental animals. The mechanisms of DIOB-induced hepatotoxicities remain unknown. The present study demonstrated that DIOB induced hepatotoxicities
Rodent studies of furan are associated with liver cell necrosis, release of liver-associated enzymes, increased hepatocyte proliferation, and hepatocarcinogenesis. For carcinogens whose proposed mode of action is cytolethality, it is hypothesized that the dose-response curve for tumor development
Furan is an abundant food and environmental contaminant that is a potent liver carcinogen in rodent models. To determine if furan is genotoxic in vivo, female B6C3F1 Big Blue transgenic mice were treated with 15 mg/kg bw furan by gavage 5 days a week for 6 weeks, or once weekly for 3 weeks. Liver
Furan is a potent rodent hepatocarcinogen that probably acts through non-genotoxic mechanisms involving hepatotoxicity and regenerative hepatocyte proliferation. In addition to inducing necrosis, cytotoxicants like furan may also induce cytolethality through apoptosis which has been suggested to
Furan, a possible human carcinogen, is a product of incomplete combustion and is present in cigarette smoke, engine exhaust, and processed food. Oral administration induces liver toxicity and carcinogenesis in F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. To assess possible adverse effects from inhalation, A/J mice
Furan administered by gavage for 2 yr has been reported to induce hepatocellular carcinomas in male and female B6C3F1 mice and in male but not female F344 rats. Chronic exposure studies in our laboratory using bioassay conditions showed extensive hepatocellular toxicity and sustained increases in
Furan, a potent rodent liver carcinogen, is found in many cooked food items and thus represents a human cancer risk. Mechanisms for furan carcinogenicity were investigated in male F344 rats using the in vivo Comet and micronucleus assays, combined with analysis of histopathological and gene
Previously, we screened a series of arylcarboxylic acid hydrazide derivatives for their ability to induce macrophage tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) production and identified 16 such compounds. In the present study, we evaluated 23 additional arylcarboxylic acid hydrazides and found that
Carbonyl reduction is a significant step in the phase I biotransformation of a great variety of aromatic, alicyclic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds. 1-Furan-2-yl-3-pyridin-2-yl-propenone (FPP-3) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity as it inhibits the production of nitric oxide and
