The effect of several chelating agents (diethyldithiocarbamic acid, DDC; nitrilotriacetic acid, NTA; 2,3-dimercaptopropanol, BAL; d,l-penicillamine, PEN; 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid, DMSA; ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA; and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, DTPA) on the toxicity, distribution and excretion of cadmium (Cd) was determined in mice. When chelators were administered immedi...

Plant growth, pigment concentration, biochemical parameters and uptake of heavy metals were determined for Brassica juncea L. in response to cadmium and lead stress. The plant exhibited a decline in growth, chlorophyll content and carotenoids with Cd and Pb but Cd was found to be more detrimental than Pb treatment in B. juncea. The protein content was decreased by Cd (900 μM) to 95% and 44% by ...

Abstract The influence of pharmaceutical residues and heavy metals on living organisms has received global attention. present study assessed the interactive effect antibiotic in soil, as contaminated food with cadmium (Cd) oxytetracycline (OTC) isopod Porcellio leavis. It was fed fresh plant leaves different concentrations cadmium, Cd+OTC1000 ppm, Cd+OTC2000 ppm Cd+OTC3000 for 4 weeks. changes ...

Background: The aim of the present study was to find the effects of cadmium (Cd) on Japanese quail on the role of an animal model in order to understand the toxicity of Cd in creatures presented, within the environment. Methods: One hundred 30-day-old male Japanese quails were equally divided into the control group and Cd group. The control group received no Cd while the Cd group was given f...

The recent emerging evidence reveals that titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) can be used as a wastewater treatment. This study provides new information about the possible detoxification role of TiO2 NPs treatment in plants under heavy metal stress, with an emphasis on mechanisms involved. Here, we investigated effects one bamboo species (Arundinaria pygmaea L.) vitro Cadmium (Cd) toxicit...

Plant species with the capacity to tolerate heavy metals are potentially useful for phytoremediation since they have adapted to survive and reproduce under toxic conditions and to accumulate high metal concentrations. Gomphrena claussenii Moq., a South-American species belonging to the Amaranthaceae, is found at a zinc (Zn) mining area in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Through soil and hydr...

Abstract Cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils has become a serious issue owing to its high toxicity threat human health through the food chain. The purpose of this paper is explore availability foliar selenium (Se) application reducing Cd enrichment brown rice. A field experiment from 2017 2019 was conducted investigate effects Se on physiology and yields three rice cultivars their ...

Purpose: This study characterized the therapeutic efficacy of a systemically administered formulation of 3-bromopyruvate (3-BrPA), microencapsulated in a complex with b-cyclodextrin (b-CD), using an orthotopic xenograft mouse model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). ExperimentalDesign: The presence of the b-CD–3-BrPA complexwas confirmedusing nuclearmagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Mon...

Populus yunnanensis was employed as a model species to detect sexual differences in growth, physiological, biochemical, and ultrastructural responses to cadmium (Cd) stress, nitrogen (N) deposition, and their combination. Compared with the control conditions, Cd decreased plant biomass, damaged the photosynthetic apparatus, visible as a decreased maximum efficiency of photosystem II (PSII; F(v)...
