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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Purification, Biochemical Characterization, and Bioactive Properties of a Lectin Purified from the Seeds of White Tepary Bean (Phaseolus Acutifolius Variety Latifolius)
(2011)
The present work shows the characterization of Phaseolus acutifolius varietylatifolius, on which little research has been published, and provides detailed information onthe corresponding lectin. This protein was purified ...
Investigation on the Protective Effect of ?-Mannan against the DNA Damage Induced by Aflatoxin B1 in Mouse Hepatocytes
(2009)
Aflatoxin B1 is a contaminant of agricultural and dairy products that can berelated to mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. In this report we explore the capacity of ?-mannan (Man) to reduce the DNA damage induced by AFB1 ...
Hepatoprotective effects of glycine and vitamin E, during the early phase of liver regeneration in the rat
(2009)
Our objective was to demonstrate the protective effect of glycine (Gly) and vitamin E (VE) on a model ofethanol-induced acute liver injury during the early phase of liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy(PH) in rats. ...
Antigenotoxic Effect of Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert Essential Oil in Mouse Spermatogonial Cells, and Determination of Its Antioxidant Capacity in Vitro
(2010)
Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert (Asteraceae), popularly known aschamomile, is a plant used in traditional medicine for various therapeutic purposes.Chamomile essential oil (CEO) is particularly known to inhibit the ...
Antigenotoxic Studies of Different Substances to Reduce the DNA Damage Induced by Aflatoxin B1 and Ochratoxin A
(2010)
Mycotoxins are produced mainly by the mycelial structure of filamentous fungi,or more specifically, molds. These secondary metabolites are synthesized during the end ofthe exponential growth phase and appear to have no ...
Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Obesity
(2011)
Obesity is a chronic disease of multifactorial origin and can be defined as an increase in the accumulation of body fat. Adipose tissue is not only a triglyceride storage organ, but studies have shown the role of white ...
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 ...
