The association between lead exposure and asthma is controversial. The effect of inhaled lead acetate on lung inflammation, tracheal responsiveness and immune components in guinea pigs after sensitization was examined in this study. Five groups of guinea pigs were randomly
The ultrastructural organization of the female reproductive system of Metadena depressa, digenean intestinal parasite of Sparidae (Dentex dentex), was investigated by electron microscopy. The vitellogenesis is divided into four stages: stage I, vitellocytes have a cytoplasm mainly filled with ribosomes

Exposure to a mixture of As, Pb and Cd induces apoptosis and morphological alterations in the cortical astrocytes of rat brain. The levels of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) undergo a reduction. The GFAP exists in several isoforms, viz.
Occupational and environmental exposures to lead (Pb) are a worldwide concern. DNA methylation plays an important role in the development of Pb toxicity. Here, we try to find out the evidence to prove that the methylation of the LINE-1 promoter
Lead (Pb), a well-known environmental toxin, is one of the major hazards for human health. Quercetin (QE), a natural flavonoid, has been reported to have many benefits and medicinal properties. However, its protective effects against Pb-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress
