Methyl isocyanate (MIC) in aqueous solution forms methylamine (MA) and N,N'-dimethylurea (DMU). MA in buffered system further converts into its salt form, methylamine hydrochloride (MAH). Therefore, MAH and DMU were evaluated for their mutagenic activity in the in vitro Ames

Environmental challenges such as low light intensity induce differential growth-driven upward leaf movement (hyponastic growth) in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, little is known about the physiological regulation of this response. Here, we studied how low light intensity is perceived and translated

Eugenol, an extract of cloves, has been associated with pulmonary edema when inhaled from commercially available clove cigarettes. We tested the hypothesis that eugenol directly causes lung edema through oxidant-mediated mechanisms by infusing eugenol (0.1 and 1.0 mM) into isolated

Methylisocyanate (MIC) induced mutagenic responses in the absence of exogenous activation in the mouse lymphoma cell forward mutation assay at concentrations as low as 8-24 microM. MIC produced predominantly small mutant colonies, suggesting the possibility of clastogenic activity. The intermediate

The possible protective effects in vitro of the hydroxyl radical scavenger dimethyl urea (6 mg/ml) and the poly(ADP-ribose)synthetase inhibitors theophylline (5 mM) and nicotinamide (0.75 mg/ml) against streptozotocin (SZ) induced deterioration of islet metabolism were investigated using isolated mouse pancreatic
