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. -
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. -
Inhibition of Gap Junctional Intercellular Communication by Perfluorinated Compounds in Rat Liver and Dolphin Kidney Epithelial Cell Lines in Vitro and Sprague-Dawley Rats in Vivo
Published on August 1, 2002
The effects of PFOS and related sulfonated fluorochemicals on gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) were studied using a rat liver epithelial cell line and a dolphin kidney epithelial cell line. -
Inhibition of gap junctional intercellular communication by perfluorinated fatty acids is dependent on the chain length of the fluorinated tail
Published on January 6, 1999
This study indicates that the determining factor of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) inhibition was probably the fluorinated tail of PFFAs.
