Detection of Cytotoxic Activity of Lectin on Human Colon Adenocarcinoma (Sw480) and Epithelial Cervical Carcinoma (C33-A)
(2011)
Lectins comprise a heterogeneous class of proteins that recognize thecarbohydrate moieties of glycoconjugates with high specificity. Numerous studies haveOPEN ACCESSMolecules 2011, 162108shown that lectins are capable of ...
The Combination of Naproxen and Citral Reduces Nociception and Gastric Damage in Rats
(2010)
It has been shown that the association of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with plantextracts can increase their antinociceptive activity, allowing the use of lower doses and, thus,limiting side effects. Therefore, ...

Exposure to Sodium Fluoride Produces Signs of Apoptosis in Rat Leukocytes
(2010)
Fluoride is naturally present in the earth's crust and can be found in rocks, coal, and clay; thus, it can be found in small quantities in water, air, plants, and animals. Therefore, humans are exposed to fluoride through ...
Fluorides and dental fluorosis in students from Tula de Allende Hidalgo, Mexico
(2010)
This study correlates and presents the findings of the concentrations of fluorides an importantcontaminant of ground water present in two specific locations: The Ex-Hacienda well, which suppliesthe community of San Miguel ...
Lead, Cadmium and Cobalt (Pb, Cd, and Co) Leaching of Glass-Clay Containers by pH Effect of Food
(2011)
Recent studies have shown that handcrafted glass-clay containers are a health risk because they can be contaminated by heavy metals, which can be transferred to food, thus reaching the human body to potentially cause ...
Spasmolytic and anti-inflammatory effects of Aloysia triphylla and citral, in vitro and in vivo studies
(2010)
Aloysia triphylla is traditionally utilized for the treatment of menstrual colic (primary dysmenorrhea) in Mexico. Citral is the main chemical component found in Aloysia triphylla leaves extract. Primary dysmenorrhea is a ...

(2010)
Ethnopharmacological relevance: H. longipes S.F. Blake (Asteraceae) is a Mexican plant, whose roots aretraditionally used as a condiment, as a mouth anesthetic, and as an antiparasitic. Affinin is the alkamidepresent in ...
Effect of Sodium Fluoride Ingestion on Malondialdehyde Concentration and the Activity of Antioxidant Enzymes in Rat Erythrocytes
(2010)
Fluoride intoxication has been shown to produce diverse deleterious metabolic alterations within the cell. To determine the effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) treatment on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and on the activity of ...
