Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xingde Du"
- Xingde Du's recent research focuses primarily on the toxicological effects of environmental contaminants, particularly microcystin-LR (MC-LR) and sodium nitrite (NaNO), on various biological systems, including intestinal barriers, renal health, and reproductive functions in mice.
- Significant findings include the demonstration that co-exposure to MC-LR and NaNO significantly exacerbates health impairments, such as kidney injury through pyroptosis and testicular damage via mitochondrial dysfunction, highlighting the complex interplay of environmental toxins in human health risks.
- Du also explores the broader implications of climate change on marine toxins and their risks, emphasizing the need for understanding environmental factors contributing to human exposure to toxins, reaffirming the urgent need for strategies to mitigate these public health threats.
