  13. The effects of different bisphenol derivatives on oxidative stress, DNA damage and DNA repair in RWPE‐1 cells: A comparative study

    • Journal of Applied Toxicology

    • Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well‐known endocrine disruptor and it is widely used mainly in the plastics industry. Due to recent reports on its possible impact on health (particularly on the male reproductive system), bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS) are now being used as alternatives. In this study, RWPE‐1 cells were used as a model to compare cytotoxicity, oxidative stress‐causing potential and genotoxicity of these chemicals.

  14. Effects of quercetin on cadmium-induced toxicity in rat urine using metabonomics techniques

    • Human & Experimental Toxicology

    • This study aimed to analyse the protective effects of quercetin on the toxicity of cadmium (Cd) using metabonomics techniques. Sixty male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups (n = 10): control group (C), low-dose quercetin-treated group (Q1; 10 mg/kg bw/day), high-dose quercetin-treated group (Q2; 50 mg/kg bw/day), Cd-treated group (D; 4.89 mg/kg bw/day), low-dose quercetin plus Cd-treated group (DQ1) and high-dose quercetin plus Cd-treated group (DQ2).

  18. Development of a stir bar sorptive extraction method coupled to solidification of floating droplets dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction based on deep eutectic solvents for the extraction of acidic pesticides from tomato samples

    • Journal of Separation Science

    • A stir bar sorptive extraction method coupled with deep eutectic solvent based solidification of floating organic droplets–dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction has been used for the simultaneous derivatization and extraction of some acidic pesticides in tomato samples. In this method, initially the analytes are adsorbed on a coated stir bar from tomato juice filled in a narrow tube.

      Background

      Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased risk of stroke and congestive heart failure. Lead-I electrocardiogram (ECG) devices are handheld instruments that can detect AF at a single-time point.

  24. Selective extraction of fungicide carbendazim in fruits using β‐cyclodextrin based molecularly imprinted polymers

    • Journal of Separation Science

    • Considering the importance of developing a new analytical approach for pesticide residue detection for the sake of ensuring food safety, a beta‐cyclodextrin based molecularly imprinted polymers were prepared for selective determination of carbendazim. The polymers consist of a porous and hollow structure demonstrating the selective abundant adsorption sites for carbendazim molecule.

  25. Oxidative Potential of Chemical Mixtures Extracted from Contaminated Galveston Bay, TX Seafood Using a Human Cell Co-culture Model

    • Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

    • Increasing levels of pollution in Galveston Bay, TX, are of significant concern for populations that directly depend on fishing activities. Efforts to evaluate contaminant levels in commercial fish have been largely limited to the quantification of chemical mixtures in fish tissue, but little information exists about the toxicological potential of these chemicals on consumption of contaminated seafood.
