Thimerosal Induces Toxic Reactions

Toxic Reactions and Side Effects

Although effective in maintaining relatively normal levels of blood pressure in hypertensive patients and retarding some of the serious and fatal secondary consequences of the disease, hexamethonium ion and 1-hydrazinophthalazine can cause severe immediate and late reactions. The latter drug has produced collagen diseases of varying degrees of severity, all of which have regressed on cessation ...

Thimerosal induces oxidative stress in HeLa S epithelial cells.

Thimerosal is one of the most widely used preservatives and is found in a variety of biological products, including vaccines, contact lens cleaning solutions, and cosmetics. It has been reported to have harmful effects on epithelial tissues, such as causing conjunctivitis or contact dermatitis. However, the molecular mechanism of its toxicity has not been characterized using epithelial tissues....

The reactions of Pygosteus pungitius L. to toxic solutions.

Phytopharmacological Reactions of Normal, Toxic and Atoxic Sera.

As soon as we have established (10) and (11) we can complete the discussion in the customary manner. An m-chain will be exact if its derivative vanishes, it will be derived if it is the derivative of some (m 1)-chain. By (10), every derived chain will be exact; therefore, the group GD' of all derived m-chains will be a subgroup of the group GE of all exact m-chains. The residue group GE mod GD ...

Thimerosal induces TH2 responses via influencing cytokine secretion by human dendritic cells.

Thimerosal is an organic mercury compound that is used as a preservative in vaccines and pharmaceutical products. Recent studies have shown a TH2-skewing effect of mercury, although the underlying mechanisms have not been identified. In this study, we investigated whether thimerosal can exercise a TH2-promoting effect through modulation of functions of dendritic cells (DC). Thimerosal, in a con...
