In the anaesthetized rat, injection of the prostaglandin endoperoxide analog, U 44069, in the right ventricle is vasopressor both in the pulmonary and the systemic circulation. When a moderate dose is used, the hypertensive response of the systemic vascular bed changes in an hypotension. The toxicity seems to be cumulative. At high doses, a vascular collapse is observed sometimes with pulmonary oedema. These findings correlate with the EKG pattern typical for an acute cor pulmonale.

5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a commonly utilized antitumor agent for the treatment of colon cancer, is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Antihistamines including astemizole (AST) have been reported to present cardiovascular toxicity; however, it remains unclear how 5-FU-mediated cardiotoxicity is affected by AST during the treatment of colon cancer. This study explored the role of AST in 5-FU-induced cardiotoxicity in colon cancer.

Introduction: Prostaglandins (PG) are important regulators of the myometrial contractility in mammals. Endometrosis, a condition characterized by morphological changes in the equine endometrium, also affects endometrial secretory function. However, it remains unclear whether and how endometrosis affects myometrial function.

Mycotoxin occurrence in food worldwide is estimated to increase due to climate change. Moreover, studies on how these food contaminants interfere with medications and especially anticancer therapies are rare. With the rise of anticancer immunotherapies, particularly mycotoxins with immunomodulatory activity, such as alternariol (AOH) or deoxynivalenol (DON), are of great concern.
