Toxicologic evaluation of new drug candidates routinely utilizes healthy animals. In oncology, there remains a limited understanding of the effects of novel test candidates in a diseased host. For vascular modulating agents (VMAs), an increased understanding of preclinical tumour-host interaction, and its potential to exacerbate or alleviate 'off-t...

Arecoline is a pharmacologically active alkaloid isolated from Areca catechu. There are no published data available regarding the inhalation toxicity of arecoline in animals. This study aimed to evaluate the inhalation toxicity of arecoline in vitro and in vivo. For this purpose, arecoline benzoate (ABA) salt was prepared to stabilize arecoline in ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of industrial chemicals with a ubiquitous and persistent presence in the environment. Of the thousands of PFAS used by consumers and industry, very few have been thoroughly characterized for potential adverse effects. This is especially true for the novel short-chain (C

The mycotoxin altertoxin I (ATX-I) is one of secondary metabolites produced by Alternaria fungi and is frequently detected as food and feed contaminants. Little is known about the genotoxicity of the ATX-I. In order to evaluate potential genotoxicity and general toxicity of ATX-I, the novel 28-day multiendpoint (Pig-a assay + micronucleus [MN] test...

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor involved in the metabolism of bile acid. However, the molecular signaling of FXR in bile acid homeostasis in cholestatic drug-induced liver injury remains unclear. Oleanolic acid (OA), a natural triterpenoid, has been reported to produce evident cholestatic liver injury in mice after a long-term use....

We compared the influence of thyroid hormone-disrupting chemicals (heptafluorobutanoic acid, PFBA and tris[1,3-dichloro-2-propyl] phosphate, TDCPP) and thyroid hormone (3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine, T3) on swim bladder inflation and thyroid hormone-related gene expression in Japanese medaka and zebrafish. The swim bladder of most larvae had inflated ...

Aluminum (Al), a common light metal, affects the developing nervous system. Developmental exposure to Al chloride (AlCl3 ) induces aberrant neurogenesis by targeting neural stem cells (NSCs) and/or neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in the dentate gyrus (DG) of rats and mice. To investigate whether hippocampal neurogenesis is similarly affected by AlCl...

Fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibacterials have drawn heightened attention from various international regulatory agencies due to their class-specific side effects. Levonadifloxacin is a novel broad spectrum benzoquinolizine FQ active against methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus (MRSA). Owing to FQ-associated safety concerns, extensive preclinical s...

Food-grade titanium dioxide (E171) is widely used as a food additive, and it is known that after oral consumption, E171 is translocated into the bloodstream reaching the highest titanium level at 6 h. E171 is accumulated in some organs triggering toxicity, but the effects on the blood parameters after oral consumption have been less studied. Recent...

This study evaluates the possible association between refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) exposure and all causes of death. Current and former employees (n = 1,119) hired from 1952 to 1999 at manufacturing facilities in New York (NY) state and Indiana were included. Work histories and quarterly plant-wide sampling from 1987 to 2015 provided cumulative f...
