Arsenic Induced Oxidative Stress and Its Possible Reversal by Chelation Therapy
Abstract: Arsenic (As) is a metalloid listed in group Va of the periodic chart. It exists in nature in the oxidation states +V (arsenate), +III (arsenite), 0 (arsenic) and −III (arsine). In the aqueous environment inorganic arsenic appears commonly in the oxidation states +V and +III as arsenous acid (As (III)), arsenic acid (As (V)), and their salts. Chronic and acute exposures of arsenic leads to cancer, cardiovascular disease (hypertension and …

Oral manifestations associated with poly morphonuclear leukocytes (Neutrophil deficiency and Neutrophil disorders)
Abstract: multicellular organisms from pathogens. It defends the body against foreign bodies, and generates a vast variety of cells and molecules capable of specifically recognizing and eliminating foreign bodies, all which act together in a dynamic network. Neutrophils have been referred to as a first line of defence; they are first defensive cells at a site of inflammation; however the resident leukocytes are cells which normally are present at the sites …
