Lipid Peroxidation in Postoperative Cases of Breast Carcinoma (Grade III)
Abstract: Breast cancer represents significant problem in the world. Oxidative modification of lipids is catalyzed by reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is known as lipid peroxidation (LPO); this changes the fluidity, permeability of membrane, cellular metabolic functions and causes derangement. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a major end product and an index of LPO which crosslinks DNA, protein and nucleotides on the same and opposite strands. There are reports that LPO increased in …

Role of Nitric Oxide Synthase in Platelets of Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is the leading problem of the world. Free radicals have unpaired electron which can be neutralised by human body for maintaining health, these free radicals are toxic, highly unstable and very reactive. Antioxidants and free radical scavengers protect cells from toxic effects in order to maintain redox state of the cell. Nitric oxide is one of the important free radicals synthesized from nitric oxide synthase. It has been …

Arsenic as a Cause of Cancer
Abstract: Inorganic Arsenic (iAs) is a pervasive and ubiquitous environmental toxin that has created world-wide human health problems. Populations exposed to high concentrations of arsenic-contaminated drinking water suffer serious health consequences ranging from acute toxicities to development of malignancies, including alarming cancer incidence and death rates. Epidemiologic studies have shown a relationship between chronic arsenic exposure and disease of the skin, lung, urinary bladder, and conceivably liver, kidney, and prostate in …

Role of Nitric Oxide in Platelets of Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is a disease of multifactorial origin; it is seen frequently in women of older age, having family history, affluent society, late age of marriage and first childbirth, early menarche, late menopause, and nulliparity. Oxidative stress results when balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defence is lost which result in mutations, sister chromatid exchanges, cytotoxicity, carcinogenesis etc. Clinical, experimental and epidemiological studies suggest that free radicals …

Rotenone Beyond Just An Insecticide: A Review
Abstract: Pesticides have received the most attention due to their global application and widespread implications on human health. In recent years, both epidemiological and toxicological studies have provided evidence that pesticides have the potential to act as toxicants contributing to the development of pathogenesis such as neuronal degenerations as well as may be utilized to induce signalling for reversal, suppress or prevent carcinogenic progression. Rotenone, an isoflavones naturally found in the …

Food Packaging Chemicals and Human Health: Molecular Toxicity, Exposure Pathways, and Regulatory Perspectives
Abstract: Food packaging plays a vital role in preserving food quality, extending shelf life, and ensuring safe transportation. However, increasing evidence indicates that chemicals from packaging materials can migrate into food during processing, storage, and consumption, resulting in chronic human exposure. Several food packaging chemicals, including bisphenols, phthalates, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), styrene, heavy metals, and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), have emerged as important xenobiotics due to their potential adverse …

Environmental and Toxicological Implications of Dyes: A Mini Review
Abstract: Synthetic dyes are extensively used in industries – such as textiles, leather, paper, and food processing – due to their vibrant colors and high chemical stability. However, the large-scale release of dye-containing wastewater has become a significant environmental and health concern. Owing to their complex chemical structures, most synthetic dyes are highly resistant to biodegradation, resulting in their long-term persistence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their accumulation in water bodies …

Effect of Corticosteroids on Acrylamide Monomer Toxicity
Abstract: Acrylamide (ACR) is a chemical used in many industries around the world and more recently was found to form naturally in foods cooked at high temperatures. Acrylamide was shown to be a neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, and carcinogen in animal species. Only the neurotoxic effects were observed in humans and only at high levels of exposure in occupational settings. The mechanism underlying neurotoxin effects of ACR may be basic to the …
