Chronic exposure to very low ambient PM2.5 has been linked to cardiovascular risks in epidemiological observation, which also brought doubts on its safety threshold. In this study, we approached this question by chronic exposure of AC16 to the non-observable acute effect level (NOAEL) PM2.5 5 μg/mL and its positive reference 50 μg/mL, respectively....

Emodin has been demonstrated to possess multiple pharmacological activities. However, emodin has also been reported to induce nephrotoxicity at high doses and with long-term use, and the underlying mechanism has not been fully disclosed. The current study aimed to investigate the roles of oxidative stress and ferroptosis in emodin-induced kidney to...

The metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the elimination kinetics of their mono-hydroxylated metabolites (OH-PAHs) following single exposure to different combinations of four PAHs (PAH4) were studied. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were orally exposed to a single dose of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) or PAH2 (B[a]P + chrysene), PAH3 (B[a]P ...
