Endocrine disrupting, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects of upper Danube River sediments using effect-directed analysis.
Effect-directed analysis (EDA) can be useful in identifying and evaluating potential toxic chemicals in matrixes. Previous investigations of extracts of sediments from the upper Danube River in Germany revealed acute nonspecific and mechanism-specific toxicity as determined by several bioassays. In the present study, EDA was used to further characterize these sediments and identify groups of po...
متن کاملCarcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects of arsenic.
This review outlines briefly the history and present status of the problem of carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects of arsenic. Discrepancies between clinical observations and positive results of epidemiological studies and the experimental induction of cancer by arsenic are discussed. The present knowledge of the mechanism of teratogenic and mutagenic effects of arsenic is analyzed. ...
متن کاملthe effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions
two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...
15 صفحه اولThresholds in toxic, teratogenic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects.
Many inhibitory and toxic effects show a dose dependence for which the extrapolation of a linear plot to zero or background effect cuts through the abscissa at some positive dose, indicating a threshold concentration below which the agent seems to be ineffective (1). If the teratogenic effect of such an agent is caused by the same cellular reaction, its dose-effect curve may also exhibit a thre...
متن کاملEffects of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals on Seals
At the same time harbour porpoises, that had died of a similar virus, appeared stranded on the beaches. Two years later another mass die-off occurred in the Mediterranean striped dolphin populations. The severe and lethal outcomes of the epidemics led many in the scientific community to believe that a contaminantinduced immune deficiency was responsible for the high mortality during the epidemi...
