Molecular Mechanisms of Pesticide Toxicity
The environment represents a key contributor to human health and disease. Exposure to many environmental stressors such as pesticides have detrimental effects on health and are considered to contribute substantially to most diseases of major public health significance. Pesticide toxicity has been clearly demonstrated to alter a variety of physiological functions. In addition, evidence suggests ...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of fluoride toxicity.
Halfway through the twentieth century, fluoride piqued the interest of toxicologists due to its deleterious effects at high concentrations in human populations suffering from fluorosis and in in vivo experimental models. Until the 1990s, the toxicity of fluoride was largely ignored due to its "good reputation" for preventing caries via topical application and in dental toothpastes. However, in ...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Lead-induced Toxicity and Apoptosis in Human Liver Carcinoma Cells
Recent studies in our laboratory have demonstrated that lead nitrate is cytotoxic to human liver carcinoma (HepG2) cells, showing a LD50 of 35.5 ± 9.2μg/mL upon 48 hours of exposure. However, its molecular mechanisms of toxicity are still largely unknown. Hence, the aim of the present study was to use HepG2 cells as a test model to investigate the in vitro toxicogenomics and apoptotic mechanism...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of amyloid oligomers toxicity.
Amyloid oligomers have emerged as the most toxic species of amyloid-β (Aβ). This hypothesis might explain the lack of correlation between amyloid plaques and memory impairment or cellular dysfunction. However, despite the numerous published research articles supporting the critical role Aβ oligomers in synaptic dysfunction and cell death, the exact definition and mechanism of amyloid oligomers ...
متن کاملToxicity of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid – Molecular Mechanisms
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a herbicide commonly used in agriculture. The residues of 2,4-D are present in air, water, soil and edibles. It constitutes a real hazard for human and animal health as numerous accidents of poisoning deaths caused by this herbicide have been reported. However, the molecular mechanism of its action is still unknown. The point of view concerning the toxi...
