Lycium barbarum polysaccharides attenuate nonylphenol and octylphenol-induced oxidative stress and neurotransmitter disorders in PC-12 cells.

Nonylphenol (NP) and octylphenol (OP) are environmental contaminants with potential endocrine disrupting effects. However, there is limited research on the mechanisms and intervention of combined NP and OP exposure-induced neurotoxicity. This study aims to explore the cytotoxicity of combined NP and OP exposure and evaluate the potential of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) in mitigating the aforementioned toxicity.

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides attenuate oxidative stress and mitochondrial toxicity induced by mixed plasticizers in HepG2 cells through activation of Nrf2.

Aims: In daily life, it is common for humans to be exposed to multiple phthalate esters (PAEs). However, there is limited research on the mechanisms and intervention of combined PAEs toxicity. This study aims to explore the cytotoxicity of combined PAEs and evaluate the potential of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) in mitigating the aforementioned toxicity.

DBP induced autophagy and necrotic apoptosis in HepG2 cells via the mitochondrial damage pathway.

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are widely present in human tissues and pose significant health risks. In this study, HepG2 cells were treated with 0.0625, 0.

A GC/MS method for determination of succinylacetone in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Succinylacetone was known to be a toxic metabolite of tyrosine in human and animals caused by blockage of the final step in tyrosine degradation pathway, but its existence in plant was unclear though the metabolic disturbance of tyrosine was also found in plant. A GC-MS method for determination of succinylacetone in Arabidopsis thaliana was developed for the first time. Both oximation and silylation were applied in the derivation procedure, and a low-temperature condition before completion of oximation was found to be necessary to obtain good linearity of the calibration curve due to the thermolability of succinylacetone.
