“Micronuclei and Disease” special issue: Aims, scope, and synthesis of outcomes
(2021)
[Abastract] The purpose of the “Micronuclei and Disease” special issue (SI) is to: (i) Determine the level of evidence for association of micronuclei (MN), a biomarker of numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations, ...
Exploring Early Detection of Frailty Syndrome in Older Adults: Evaluation of Oxi-Immune Markers, Clinical Parameters and Modifiable Risk Factors
(2021)
[Abstract] Ageing is accompanied with a decline in several physiological systems. Frailty is an age-related syndrome correlated to the loss of homeostasis and increased vulnerability to stressors, which is associated with ...
Assessing the in Vitro Toxicity of Airborne (Nano)Particles to the Human Respiratory System: From Basic to Advanced Models [Review]
(Taylor & Francis, 2023-01-24)
[Abstract] Several studies have been conducted to address the potential adverse health risks attributed to exposure to nanoscale materials. While in vivo studies are fundamental for identifying the relationship between ...
Suitability of Salivary Leucocytes to Assess DNA Repair Ability in Human Biomonitoring Studies by the Challenge-Comet Assay
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] The challenge-comet assay is a simple but effective approach that provides a quantitative and functional determination of DNA repair ability, and allows to monitor the kinetics of repair process. Peripheral blood ...
Evaluation of Okadaic Acid-Induced Genotoxicity in Human Cells Using the Micronucleus Test and γH2AX Analysis
(Taylor and Francis, 2011-06-27)
[Abstract] Marine algal blooms have become a public health concern due to increasing frequency in the environment and severity of exposure consequences. Human intoxications produced by phycotoxins occur globally through ...
Okadaic Acid Induces Morphological Changes, Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Alterations in Different Human Cell Types
(Royal Society of Chemistry (Gran Bretaña), 2011-03-28)
[Abstract] Okadaic acid (OA) is a marine toxin produced by dinoflagellate species which is frequently accumulated in molluscs usual in the human diet. The exact action mechanism of OA has not been described yet and the ...
Induction of Oxidative DNA Damage by the Marine Toxin Okadaic Acid Depends on Human Cell Type
(Elsevier, 2011-03-01)
[Abstract] The marine toxin okadaic acid (OA) is the main representative of diarrhoeic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins. Its ingestion induces nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal ache. It has also been found to trigger ...
Cytogenetic Effects Induced by Prestige Oil on Human Populations: The Role of Polymorphisms in Genes Involved in Metabolism and DNA Repair
(Elsevier, 2008-04-18)
[Abstract] The spill from the oil tanker Prestige (NW Spain, November 2002) was perhaps the biggest ecological disaster that happened worldwide in the last decades. As a consequence of this catastrophe a general concern ...
Assessment of Okadaic Acid Effects on Cytotoxicity, DNA Damage and DNA Repair in Human Cells
(Elsevier, 2010-05-26)
[Abstract] Okadaic acid (OA) is a phycotoxin produced by several types of dinoflagellates causing diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in humans. Symptoms induced by DSP toxins are mainly gastrointestinal, but the intoxication ...
