In response to the demand from a growing number of people concerned about the possible impact of RF-EMF on health, the French National Frequency Agency (ANFR) has published a standardized protocol for in-situ m
Animal studies confirmed that exposure to high doses of DEHP can cause hepatocellular damage, leading to the formation of liver tumors; thus, DEHP is considered a potential carcinogen (Carpenter et al., 1953, Ito et al., 2007). The liver is an organ essential for nutritional metabolism. ...
Effects of pre/postnatal 2.45 GHz continuous wave (CW), Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Microwave (MW) irradiation on bone have yet to be well defined. The present study used biochemical and histological methods to investigate effects on bone formation and resorption in the serum and the tibia bone...
To better understand the effects of ground-level ozone (O3) on nutrients and stoichiometry in different plant organs, urban tree species Celtis sinensis, Cyclocarya paliurus, Quercus acutissima, and Quercus nuttallii were subjected to a constant exposure to charcoal-filtered air (CF), nonfiltered ai...
Sample preparation: As it was not possible to transfer the amount of 4 mg airport particle matter from the collection flasks to vials for microwave-assisted acid digestion, a volume of 1 mL of 25% (v/v) nitric acid was directly added to the flasks for acid extraction. Additionally, ...
Glucagon secreted by pancreatic α-cells has been shown to be substantially impaired by even low doses of BPA expo- sure [128–130]. Additionally, the ability of BPA to disrupt the biosynthesis and secretion of insulin in β cells has been confirmed by various animal studies [131, 132]. ...
Thus, the changes observed in the uterus of rats receiving high doses of Cd in this study may also be associated with the induction of oxidative stress in the reproductive organs and it cannot be ruled out that the induction of oxidative stress contributes to changes in hormonal balance. The...
and neurodevelopmental outcomes in this study, previous research has suggested that Sr may demonstrate a dose-dependent biphasic effect: low doses can stimulate beneficial biological processes such as osteogenesis, while high doses may lead to apoptosis and adverse effects (Aimaiti et al., 2017). ...
Sample preparation: As it was not possible to transfer the amount of 4 mg airport particle matter from the collection flasks to vials for microwave-assisted acid digestion, a volume of 1 mL of 25% (v/v) nitric acid was directly added to the flasks for acid extraction. Additionally, ...
27 The highest dosage of Zn allowed in children is 7 mg/d.28 The dosage in rats, 100-fold greater than the maximum dosage for children was based on an additional safety factor stated by a number of toxicologists.26 In addition to this, we aimed to find a harmful threshold for ZnO ...
