During-3-month administration of tritium oxide (0.37, 0.925 and 1.85 MBq/g body weight) to rats one could observe the loss of the thymus weight, decrease in the concentration, content and production of DNA and RNA per organ, reduction of the molecular weight of single-stranded DNA, increase in the content of the salt-soluble polydeoxyribonucleotides, and activation of acidic DNAases. These changes were function of tritium dose daily administered to rats.

Article Synopsis
- * Findings indicate that elevated temperatures combined with tritium exposure lead to cell damage, reduced photosynthetic efficiency, and disruptions in key metabolic pathways, exacerbating genetic damage in the algae.
- * The research highlights the importance of re-evaluating potential ecological risks linked to low-level tritium waste discharge in the context of global warming and rising sea temperatures.

The exchangeability of hydrogen atoms within organic molecules in vivo with ambient water hydrogen is uncertain. We assessed this by administrating the tracer deuterium to the fish. Flatfish were retained in deuterium-elevated seawater for 48 h, and the deuterium-to-hydrogen (D/H) ratios in the flesh samples were measured.

Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO, has started tritiated water release into the Pacific Ocean. In order to reduce unreasonable rumor caused by tritium release, flounder, abalone, and sarggasum were exposed to tritium enriched seawater, and time dependent Tissues Free Water Tritium (TFWT) concentration was measured. Estimating the concentration of Organically Bound Tritium (OBT) is important to assess tritium impact because it has a longer biological half-life than TFWT.

Article Synopsis
- The treatment for poisoning from certain harmful chemicals, like nerve agents, is still hard to find because current medicines don't work very well.
- These toxic chemicals affect a crucial enzyme that helps our nerves communicate, which can lead to serious health problems and even death if not treated properly.
- Researchers are working on new tests to discover better medicines that can target specific parts of these toxins, using a special method that makes the testing process easier and faster.
