To evaluate the safety of alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (α-GPC) as a novel food, the study of acute oral toxicity, subchronic toxicity, teratogenic toxicity and genotoxicity were conducted. In acute oral toxicity, no toxic effects were observed in rats of both genders administrated 10.0 g/kg BW α-GPC.

Background: Poisoning is a significant health hazard and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. India, being a predominantly agrarian country, routinely employs organophosphate (OP) pesticides in farming, and they are readily available "over the counter." OPs exert their toxicity by interfering with the normal function of acetylcholine, an essential neurotransmitter throughout the autonomic and central nervous systems.

This is the first successful report on selenium bio-attenuation to satisfy drinking water regulations as per Indian Standards (10 μg/L) in the presence of concomitant nitrate and sulfate from water sources utilizing a fixed bed bioreactor. The bioreactor was immunized with blended microbial culture and worked in downflow mode under anoxic conditions at 30 ± 2 °C for around 190 days under varying influent selenate (100-500 μg/L as selenium), nitrate (50 mg/L), sulfate concentrations (as per selenium removal) and necessary dose of acetic acid (as COD, a carbon source) in synthetic groundwater, operated at an empty bed contact time (EBCT) of 45-120 min. After supplying an adequate dosage of sulfate and alteration of EBCT, selenium was found to comply with drinking water regulations and nitrate was completely removed.
