The article provides an overview of the literature on the role of sorption detoxification using intestinal adsorbents (enterosorption method) in the multifaceted treatment of various diseases. The mechanism of action of adsorbents and their therapeutic effects are presented. We emphasized that intestinal adsorbent Enterosgel is a modern, effective, and safe detoxifying agent.

In this study, the chemopreventive efficacy of Nigella sativa seed powder as an important chemopreventive herb on the formation of colon tumor has been examined through measuring the levels of hepatic oxidative stress and metabolizing enzymes in 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colon cancer in rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups as untreated control, Sham, DMH (30mg/kg b.w) rec...

Drug metabolizing enzymes are involved in the detoxification of several drugs, environmental substances, and carcinogenic compounds, and their polymorphisms have been associated with risk for a variety of cancer. In this paper, we compared the frequency of polymorphisms in cytochrome P450-1A1 gene (CYP1A1), a phase 1 gene (oxidation, activation), and of two polymorphisms of glutathione S-transf...

Carnosic acid, a primary phenolic compound found in the leaves of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), has diverse pharmacological and biological activities. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-clastogenic effect of carnosic acid in DMBA-induced clastogenesis. The frequency of bone marrow micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MnPCEs), chromosomal aberrations (cytogenetic...

Badakhsh, Fred F. (University of Georgia, Athens), and John W. Foster. Detoxification and immunogenic properties of endotoxin-containing precipitate of Brucella abortus. J. Bacteriol. 91:494-498. 1966.-Endotoxin-containing precipitates (ECP) were prepared from Brucella abortus strain 19A by aqueous ether extraction followed by ethyl alcohol precipitation. Lysozyme was the most effective of seve...

Honey bees, Apis mellifera, are markedly less sensitive to neonicotinoid insecticides containing a cyanoimino pharmacophore than to those with a nitroimino group. Although previous work has suggested that this results from enhanced metabolism of the former by detoxification enzymes, the specific enzyme(s) involved remain to be characterized. In this work, a pretreatment of honey bees with a sub...
