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 ...
The Organic Selenium Compound Selenomethionine Modulates Bleomycin-Induced DNA Damage and Repair in Human Leukocytes
(Springer, 2009-05-08)
[Abstract] The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of selenomethionine (SeMet) on the induction, repair, and persistence of DNA damage in human leukocytes challenged with bleomycin (BLM). Comet assay was ...
Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Exposure on Human Glial Cells and Zebrafish Embryos
(MDPI, 2023-08-01)
[Abstract] Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are among the most widely used nanomaterials. They have multiple applications in cosmetics, textiles, paints, electronics and, recently, also in biomedicine. This extensive use ...
Neuronal Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity Induced by Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2013-03-26)
[Abstract] Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are one of the most abundantly used nanomaterials in consumer products and biomedical applications. As a result, human exposure to these NPs is highly frequent and they have ...
Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes in SHSY5Y Cells Exposed to Okadaic Acid by Suppression Subtractive Hybridization
(Springer Nature, 2012-01-27)
[Abstract] Background: Okadaic acid (OA), a toxin produced by several dinoflagellate species is responsible for frequent food poisonings associated to shellfish consumption. Although several studies have documented the OA ...
The Marine Toxin Okadaic Acid Induces Alterations in the Expression Level of Cancer-Related Genes in Human Neuronal Cells
(Elsevier, 2013-04-03)
[Abstract] Okadaic acid (OA) is one of the most common and highly distributed marine toxins. It can be accumulated in several molluscs and other marine organisms and cause acute gastrointestinal symptoms after oral consumption ...
Comparative Study on Effects of Two Different Types of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles on Human Neuronal Cells
(Elsevier, 2013-04-15)
[Abstract] Titanium dioxide (TiO2) are among most frequently used nanoparticles (NPs). They are present in a variety of consumer products, including food industry in which they are employed as an additive. The potential ...
