Understanding fenpropathrin-induced pulmonary toxicity: What apoptosis, inflammation, and pyreptosis reveal analyzing cross-links at the molecular, immunohistochemical, and immunofluorescent levels
In conclusion, this study shows the potential pulmonary toxicity after FN oral ingestion, and the prominent preventive ability of CCM-Chs more than CCM in combatting the pulmonary toxicity induced by FN. This may be beneficial in developing therapeutic and preventive strategies against FN-induced pulmonary toxicity.PMID:38369055 | DOI:10.1016/j.fct.2024.114520 (Source: Food and Chemical Toxicology)

Rapamycin protects Sertoli cells against BPA-induced autophagy disorders
Food Chem Toxicol. 2024 Feb 14:114510. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114510. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known environmental contaminant that can negatively impact reproductive function. Disruption of autophagy is implicated in BPA-induced cell injury, the specific molecular mechanisms through which BPA affects autophagy in Sertoli cells are still unknown. In the present study, TM4 cells were exposed to various doses of BPA (10, 100, and 200 μM), and the results indicated that BPA exposure led to the accumulation of autophagosomes, this change was accompanied by increased expression of p-mTOR and d...

Demethoxylation of curcumin enhances its inhibition on human and rat 17 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3: QSAR structure-activity relationship and in silico docking analysis
In conclusion, curcuminoids and their metabolites possess the ability to inhibit androgen biosynthesis by directly targeting human and rat 17β-HSD3. The inhibitory strength of these compounds is influenced by their lipophilicity and ionization characteristics.PMID:38360388 | DOI:10.1016/j.fct.2024.114489 (Source: Food and Chemical Toxicology)

Toxicogenomics of the C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5): Exploring the potential impacts of chemical-CCR5 interactions on inflammation and human health
In conclusion, CTD data showed that environmental contaminants indeed affect CCR5 expression, with a tendency towards increased expression. The interaction of environmental contaminants with other chemokine receptor genes may potentialize their toxic effects on the chemokine system, favoring inflammation.PMID:38360389 | DOI:10.1016/j.fct.2024.114511 (Source: Food and Chemical Toxicology)

Dietary exposure to acrylamide among the Malaysian adult population
This study aimed to estimate the Malaysian adult population's current dietary exposure and margin of exposure (MOE) to the carcinogenic processing contaminant, acrylamide. A total of 448 samples from 11 types of processed foods were collected randomly throughout Malaysia in the year 2015 and 2016. Acrylamide was analysed in samples using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 μg/kg and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 25 μg/kg. The highest average level of acrylamide (772 ± 752 μg/kg) was found in potato crisps, followed by French fries (415 ± 914 μg/kg) and ...

Application of duplex sequencing to evaluate mutagenicity of aristolochic acid and methapyrilene in Fisher 344 rats
In this study, we evaluated the mutagenicity of aristolochic acid, a known genotoxic carcinogen, and methapyrilene, a known nongenotoxic carcinogen using DS. Four male Fisher 344 rats were treated with aristolochic acid, methapyrilene, or the vehicle control for 6 weeks, liver tissues were collected one day after the treatment, and the DNA was isolated for analysis. The mutation frequency for the aristolochic acid-treated group was significantly increased over the vehicle control (44-fold), whereas no significant difference in the mutation frequency was observed between the methapyrilene-treated and the control groups. The...

Risk characterization of N-nitrosodimethylamine in pharmaceuticals
Food Chem Toxicol. 2024 Feb 8:114498. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114498. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince 2018, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has been a reported contaminant in numerous pharmaceutical products. To guide the pharmaceutical industry, FDA identified an acceptable intake (AI) of 96 ng/day NDMA. The FDA approach assumed a linear extrapolation from the Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) harmonic-mean TD50 identified in chronic studies in rats. Although NDMA has been thought to act as a mutagenic carcinogen in experimental animals, it has not been classified as a known human carcinogen by any regulatory agency....
