Introduction: Deep heated oils produce toxins that endanger people's health. The current study aims to investigate the simultaneous effect of aerobic training and Octopamine consumption on the mitophagy of brown adipose tissue after the induction of intoxication through deeply heated oil in male wistar rats. Method: 40 male wistar rats after four weeks of feedi...

Cucurbita pepo L. plants were grown in plastic pots with 2 kg washed sand per pot at three levels of potassium and sodium nitrate supplies to investigate the effects of nitrate supply on nitrate reductase activity and nitrate reductase expression in the leaves of the plants. Results demonstrated that starvation leads to decrease nitrate reductase activity and nitrate reductase expression. Suppl...

Background: Aluminum Phosphide or rice tablet is one of the most common pesticides which leads to accidental or intentional acute intoxication and finally death. In this paper, we describe a successful management of intoxication with rice tablet in a young girl. Case presentation: A 14-year-old girl was admitted due to consumption of rice tablet.

Inhalants are widely misused by adolescents and are among the most toxic of psychoactive substances. This investigation examined the prevalence and correlates of adverse consequences of acute inhalant intoxication. Adolescent inhalant users (n = 279) in residential care completed structured interviews including assessments of the characteristics of their inhalant use. Multivariate logistic and ...

Symptomatic water intoxication is common when hypo-osmolar fluids are given therapeutically, usually intravenously, but it is rare after drinking voluntarily (Wynn and Rob, 1954). We report a case of water intoxication caused by voluntary drinking in an infant.

The molecular and cellular targets that mediate alcohol intoxication are poorly understood. In this issue, Corl et al. (2009) now implicate a new Ste20 family kinase (Happyhour) and the EGFR/ERK signaling pathway it antagonizes in alcohol intoxication in flies.

Acute intoxication with 2,4-D dimethylamine is rare, often fatal and can cause signs symptoms in different organ systems. This case report describes the effectiveness of alkaline diuresis as a life-saving treatment for chlorophenoxy intoxication, especially healthcare facilities without access to haemodialysis. A patient had attempted suicide by ingesting dimethylamine, toxic effects on central...
