Toxicology in vitro : an international journal published in association with BIBRA, 25(1), 1-6 (2010-07-06)
Chromium (Cr) is considered to be a risk factor to the cardiovascular effects of fine particulate matter components to PM2.5 from traffic in highway patrol officers. RKIP (raf kinase inhibitor protein) is a physiological inhibitor of GRK-2 (G-protein-coupled receptor kinase
Journal of hazardous materials, 168(1), 291-297 (2009-03-17)
The emulsion liquid membrane technique was used for the extraction of hexavalent chromium ions from aqueous solution of waste sodium dichromate recovered from the pharmaceutical industry wastewater. The liquid membrane used was composed of kerosene oil as the solvent, Span-80
Changes in the components of the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signalling pathway were investigated in human A549 lung carcinoma cells treated with sodium dichromate. Sodium dichromate (100 microM, 0-6h) failed to activate nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) as determined by
A mixed-culture of bacteria collected from a wastewater treatment plant in Brits, North-West Province (South Africa) biocatalytically reduced Cr(VI) at much higher concentrations than previously observed in cultures isolated in North America. Cr(VI) reduction rate up to 8 times higher
Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology, 14(2), 497-505 (2005-03-01)
Although the genotoxic mechanism(s) of hexavalent chromium (CrVI) carcinogenicity remain to be fully elucidated, intracellular reduction of CrVI and concomitant generation of reactive intermediates including reactive oxygen species and subsequent oxidative damage to DNA is believed to contribute to the
