In vitro toxicity of melamine against Tetrahymena pyriformis cells
This study assessed the toxicity of melamine against the unicellular eukaryotic system of Tetrahymena (T.) pyriformis exposed to 0, 0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 2.5, and 5 mg/mL of melamine. Cell growth curves of different cultures, the half maximum inhibition concentration (IC(50)) value of melamine, and morphological changes in cells were obtained via optical and transmission electron microscopic observa...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional gravitactic bioconvection in a protozoan (Tetrahymena pyriformis) culture.
Gravitactic bioconvective patterns created by Tetrahymena pyriformis in a Hele-Shaw apparatus were realized and compared with theoretical results. There were found to be two thresholds for bio-convection development: the first indicates the transition from the diffusion to the steady convection state; the second corresponds to the transition from the steady to the unsteady convection state. The...
متن کاملQuantitative Structure Activity Relationship using MLR Method for Nitrobenzenes Toxicity to tetrahymena pyriformis
The toxicity data of 42 nitroaromatic compounds related to 50% growth inhibitory concentration (log IGC50) were used to develop Quantitative structure toxicity relationship to tetrahymena pyriformis.The multiple linear regression method was applied to select the descriptors.The six parametric model were found to be the best which gives a variance of more than 92% (R2=0.9248). Our results have s...
متن کاملA NEW BIOLOGICAL SCREENING SYSTEM FOR LOCAL ANAESTHETICS BY INHIBITION MOBILITY OF TETRAHYMENA PYRIFORMIS
An alternative in vitro approach to drug screening has been the use of human cell cultures for antiviral agents and microbial cell cultures for the assessment of the carcinogenic potential of selected compounds. A number of protozoan species have been also used as drug screens for anti-protozoal agents. The ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis species has been widely utilised as a dru...
متن کاملHeavy Metal Toxicity
Heavy metals are metallic elements which have a high atomic weight and a density much greater (at least 5 times) than water. There are more than 20 heavy metals, but four are of particular concern to human health: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and inorganic arsenic (As). According to the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. These four heavy metals are four of the top ...
