Arsenic and antimony are two semimetals sharing some chemical as well as toxicological properties. Both elements are clastogenic but not point mutagenic in their trivalent state of valency. Environmental exposure to arsenic was proven to be associated with increased rates

To explore the mechanisms of toxic liver damage caused by antimony. Experimental mice were injected peritoneally 40 mg/kg of antimony trioxide daily for 28 days to observe the effects of it on the anti-oxidase system in their liver mitochondria. Activities

1. The toxic gas hypothesis proposes exposure to stibine (antimony trihydride) generated from microbial contamination of cot mattress materials as a possible cause of unexplained death in infancy (SIDS) as a consequence of cholinesterase inhibition. We have measured the direct
Data on the mechanism of antimony genotoxicity is scarce. Arsenic and antimony are proposed to share some toxicological features. Thus comparative and combined experiments with As(III) and Sb(III) were performed to gain a deeper knowledge of the mechanism of antimony
