  • 1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol(1,3-DCP), together with 3-monochloro-propane -1,2-diol(3-MCPD), is a well-known contaminant of acid-hydrolysed vegetable protein. 1,3-DCP has also been found to occur in a range of other foods and ingredients, most notable in soy sauce. The objective of the study was to determine the toxicity of the 1,3-DCP in the rat following oral administration for 13 weeks. (omitted)

  • The reactivity and toxicity of arsenic compounds depend on the their oxidative states. Exposure to arsenic causes many human health effects, including cardiovascular, hepatic and renal disease, in addition to cancer in kidney, liver, lung, urinary bladder and skin. The cytotoxic effects of arsenite on normal hepatocyte, which most of its biotranfomation takes place. (omitted)

  • Ketoconazole is a well-studied drug that blocks fungal growth and testosterone synthesis in humans and rodents by inhibiting the activity of cytochrome P-450 enzymes. But there were no reports that ketoconazole affects on enzymes related to degradation of testosterone. Aromatase converts testosterone to estradiol. Change of aromatase protein level may destroy hormone homeostasis. (omitted)

  • Certain chlorinated propanols occur as contaminants in hydrolysed vegetable proteins. Processing of defatted vegetable proteins by traditional hydrochloric acid hydrolysis leads to the formation of 3-monochloro-1, 2-propanediol(3-MCPD). The objective of this study was to determine the toxicity of 3-MCPD in the rat following oral(gavage) administration for 13 weeks. (omitted)

  • A murine local lymph node assay (LLNA) has been developed as an alternative to guinea pig models for contact sensitization potential. However, a disadvantage of the LLNA is the need for the use of radioactive material. In this study, we aimed to investigate the development of non-radio isotopic endpoint for LLNA using immunohistochemistry.(omitted)
