A case control study was undertaken to investigate the association of polymorphisms in cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (HNSCC) in North Indian population. The variant genotypes of CYP1A1*2A and CYP1A1*2C were found to be overrepresented in cases when compared to controls. The HNSCC risk also increased several folds in cases with combination of variant genotypes of CYP1A1*2A or CYP1A1*2C with null genotype of glutathione-S-transferase M1 (GSTM1), a phase II enzyme, particularly in cases who were tobacco users (smokers and tobacco chewers), demonstrating the role of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in the development of HNSCC.

Fusarium mycotoxins often co-occur in broiler feed, and their presence negatively impacts health even at subclinical concentrations, so there is a need to identify the concentrations of these toxins that do not adversely affect chickens health and performance. The study was conducted to evaluate the least toxic effects of combined mycotoxins fumonisins (FUM), deoxynivalenol (DON), and zearalenone (ZEA) on the production performance, immune response, intestinal morphology, and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens. A total of 960 one-day-old broilers were distributed into eight dietary treatments: T1 (Control); T2: 33.

Scope: Chalcones are widely present in most plants and have various health beneficial functions. This study investigates the suppressive effect of 13 natural and synthetic chalcones on transformation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) in a cell-free system, Hepa-1c1c7 cells, and liver of ICR mice.
Methods And Results: In the cell-free system, cardamonin dose-dependently inhibits AhR transformation.

Purpose: Vibrio vulnificus (V. Vulnificus) infection is characterized by rapid onset, aggressive progression, and challenging treatment. Bacterial resistance poses a significant challenge for clinical anti-infection treatment and is thus the subject of research.
