Acute Toxicity of a Heavy Metal Cadmium to an Anuran, the Indian Skipper Frog Rana cyanophlyctis
Background: There has been increasing awareness throughout the world regarding the remarkable decrease in amphibian population. For such amphibian population decline several causes have been given. Cadmium, a heavy metal is released both from natural sources (leaching of cadmium rich soils) and anthropogenic activities to the aquatic and terrestrial environments. This study evaluated the toxici...
متن کاملMetal Chelator Decreases Alzheimer β-Amyloid Plaques
five CQ-treated mice, and two showed no measurable Alzheimer -Amyloid Plaques A in the pellet fraction and no detectable A pathology by immunocytochemistry. The authors then examined the effects of a higher dose (30 mg/kg/d) for 9 weeks in older 21-month-old mice (n ϭ 20) as compared to Transgenic mice developing -amyloid (A) plaques sham-fed mice (n ϭ 19). This resulted in a 41% decrease ...
متن کاملDP-b99, a membrane-activated metal ion chelator, as neuroprotective therapy in ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DP-b99 is a chelator of zinc and calcium ions that acts selectively within cell membranes and has neuroprotective properties in animal models of stroke. We present the results of a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to assess the safety and potential protective effects of DP-b99 in acute ischemic stroke. METHODS One hundred and fifty stroke ...
متن کاملLake Hydro Geochemistry: An Implication to Chemical Weathering, Ion-exchange Phenomena and Metal Interaction
Present study aims to unravel the hydro geochemical interaction of sediment and water of Saheb bandh lake, West Bengal, India with an emphasis on heavy metal assessment. Lake water belongs to Ca2+–HCO3− type hydro geochemical faces and water-rock interaction primarily controls the lake water chemistry. Based on different Hydro chemical characteristics it is suggested that silicate weathering is...
متن کاملTumor cell cytotoxicity of a novel metal chelator.
We have synthesized a novel six-coordinate metal chelator from the triamine cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane by the addition of a 2-pyridylmethyl pendant arm on each nitrogen, which we term tachpyr. The experiments described here were designed to explore whether this compound exhibits potential antitumor activity. When added to MBT2 or T24 cultured bladder cancer cells, tachpyr was profoundly cyto...
