Immune system as a target organ for toxicity.
Recently, interest has centered on the immune system as a target organ for toxic effects. This seems a reasonable choice, since it can be argued that alterations induced in this system as a result of a toxic insult could lead to impaired immunity. Such an alteration may be manifest in altered disease susceptibility. Documenting toxic effects upon the immune system is a difficult task due to the...
متن کاملTherapeutic interventions in endothelial dysfunction: endothelium as a target organ.
Endothelial dysfunction is recognized as the initial step in the atherosclerotic process. To date, most interventions attempting to improve endothelial dysfunction have targeted one or more of the numerous risk factors that can cause endothelial damage: hypertension (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and calcium antagonists), hypercholesterolemia (lipid-lowering agents), cigarette smokin...
متن کاملLiver as a Target Organ for Eco-Toxicological Studies
A range of contaminants including carcinogens, metals, bio-toxins, and persistent organic pollutants injure livers of fishes, and although some mechanisms of liver injury are unique to fish, most of the hepatic injury in these aquatic vertebrates arises from mechanisms similar to those observed in mammals [2]. An understanding of chemical hepato-toxicity requires an appreciation of anatomic and...
متن کاملIntroduction—target organ toxicity
The effects of progressive cachexia on protein metabolism in skeletal muscle has been investigated in mice bearing the MAC 16 adenocarcinoma which produces cachexia with tumour burdens of <1% of the host weight. Weight loss was accompanied by loss of whole body nitrogen in proportion to the overall loss of body mass. Using L-[4-3H]phenylalanine to label proteins in gastrocnemious muscle, a sign...
متن کاملAT1 receptor antagonism attenuates target organ effects of salt excess in SHRs without affecting pressure.
Our recent studies have demonstrated that salt excess in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) produces a modestly increased arterial pressure while promoting marked myocardial fibrosis and structural damage associated with altered coronary hemodynamics and ventricular function. The present study was designed to determine the efficacy of an angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor blocker (ARB...
