• Chemopreventive Agents Attenuate Rapid Inhibition of Gap Junctional Intercellular Communication Induced by Environmental Toxicants

  Published on June 7, 2016
  Our data demonstrate that in vitro evaluation of gap junctional intercellular communication can be used as an effective screening tool for identification of chemicals with potential chemopreventive activity.

• Phosphatidylcholine Specific PLC-Induced Dysregulation of Gap Junctions, a Robust Cellular Response to Environmental Toxicants, and Prevention by Resveratrol in a Rat Liver Cell Model

  Published on May 29, 2015
  Accurate assessments of risk posed by toxic agents, and the role of dietary phytochemicals play in preventing or reversing the effects of these agents must take into account the specific mechanisms involved in the cancer process.

• Aquatic Toxicology of Perfluorinated Chemicals

  Published on July 26, 2010
  A partial list of the PFC compounds that are known to have been manufactured and/or released into the environment is given in this article.

• Perfluorinated compounds in streams of the Shihwa Industrial Zone and Lake Shihwa, South Korea

  Published on December 9, 2009
  Concentrations of PFAS were measured in the streams of the Shihwa and Banweol industrial areas on the west coast of South Korea as well as the adjacent Lake Shihwa and Gyeonggi Bay.

• Structure-activity-dependent regulation of cell communication by perfluorinated fatty acids using in vivo and in vitro model systems

  Published on April 1, 2009
  This study concludes that the in vitro analysis of an epigenetic marker of tumor promoters can also predict the in vivo activity of PFOA.

• Perfluoroalkyl acids in marine organisms from Lake Shihwa, Korea

  Published on January 9, 2009
  This is the first report of concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and other perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAs) in marine organisms from the industrialized region of Korea.

• Acute and chronic effects of perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) on the mallard and northern bobwhite quail

  Published on October 8, 2007
  To evaluate the potential hazard that PFBS may pose to avian species, acute dietary studies with juvenile mallards and northern bobwhite quail, as well as a quail dietary chronic study of reproduction were conducted.

• NMR studies of the thermal degradation of a perfluoropolyether on the surfaces of γ-alumina and kaolinite

  Published on July 18, 2007
  Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods are used to follow the thermal degradation of Krytox 1506, a common perfluoropolyether, following adsorption onto the surfaces of γ-Al2O3 and a model clay (kaolinite).

• Effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate on mallard and northern bobwhite quail exposed chronically via the diet

  Published on June 6, 2006
  Adult mallard ducks and northern bobwhite quail were exposed to 0, 10, 50, or 150mg perfluorooctane sulfonate /kg in the diet for up to 21 weeks.

• Pharmacokinetics and acute lethality of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) to juvenile mallard and northern bobwhite

  Published on February 2, 2006
  Concentrations of PFOS in juvenile mallard and quail liver associated with mortality are at least 50-fold greater than the single maximum PFOS concentration that has been measured in livers of avian wildlife.
