The modifying potential of two nephrotoxic agents, harman and norharman, on N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethylnitrosamine (EHEN)-induced renal and hepatic carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344/DuCrj rats. Animals were given 0.1% EHEN in their drinking water for the first 2 weeks as an initiator. Subsequently, starting 3 weeks from the commencement, they were fed diet containing these compounds at concentrations of 1000, 500 or 0 ppm until week 26, and then killed for light microscopic examination. The mean numbers of renal tubular cell hyperplasias/cm2 and those of tumors/cm2 in rats given harman and norharman at 1000 ppm after initiation, but not at 500 ppm, were significantly increased as compared to the control values. However, neither compound modified liver carcinogenesis. It is concluded that harman and norharman show enhancing effects on rat kidney carcinogenesis, when ingested at dose levels which cause renal tubular damage.

The ability to identify unknown risks is the key to improving the level of food safety. However, the conventional nontargeted screening methods for new contaminant identification and risk assessment remain difficult work. Herein, a toxic-oriented screening platform based on high-expression epidermal growth factor receptor HEK293 cell membrane-coated magnetic nanoparticles (EGFR/MNPs) was first used for the discovery of unknown contaminants from food samples.

Rationale: Tobacco monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors have long been suspected of influencing tobacco dependence, but direct evidence of their effects has been difficult to obtain. Recently we have identified two new groups of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, hydroquinones and polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acid), abundant in tobacco smoke.
Objectives: To test, in relevant animal models, whether the combined effect of these inhibitors is sufficient to affect addictive responses to nicotine.

Article Synopsis
- A soy protein isolate-sea buckthorn flavonoid emulsion was created to assess its impact on roasted lamb quality and the formation of harmful compounds called heterocyclic amines (HAAs).
- The emulsion demonstrated physical stability and uniform dispersion, while enhancing lamb texture by making it less chewy and hard, and reducing browning.
- Results indicated significant antioxidant effects, improving meat quality and greatly reducing the levels of HAAs and their precursors, with reductions ranging from about 44% to over 96%.
Effect of Chinese quince proanthocyanidins on the inhibition of heterocyclic amines and quality of fried chicken meatballs and tofu.

Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) have potential carcinogenic and mutagenic activity and are generated in cooked protein-rich foods. Adding proanthocyanidins (PAs) to these foods before frying is an effective way to reduce HCAs. In this study, polymeric PAs (PPA) and ultrasound-assisted acid-catalyzed/catechin nucleophilic depolymerized PAs (UAPA, a type of oligomeric PA) were prepared from Chinese quince fruits (CQF).
