Enzyme induction and histopathology elucidate AhR vs. non‐AhR mediated effects of aroclor 1268 in American mink (Neovison vison)

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations reported in preferred prey and blubber of bottlenose dolphins from the Turtle‐Brunswick River Estuary (TBRE, Georgia, USA) suggests the potential for adverse effects. However, PCBs in TBRE dolphins are primarily derived from Aroclor 1268, and predicting toxic effects of Aroclor 1268 is uncertain due to the mixture's unique composition and ...

A Pig Model of Hemivascular Liver Occlusion for The Study of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: Use of an Infrared System for Detecting Ischemic Areas

Aim: Different animals are used as experimental models for the hepatic Ischemia- Reperfusion (IR) injury investigations and for each one of these animal models, many different surgical approaches have been performed. The aim of our study was to establish a new surgical pig model in which a hemi-liver is used to study the pathophysiology of hepatic IR injury. Contro-lateral hemi-liver is used as ...

Acute embryotoxic effects but no long term reproductive effects of in ovo methylmercury exposure in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)

Mercury bioaccumulates in terrestrial ecosystems as methylmercury (MeHg), yet little is known about its effects on terrestrial organisms including songbirds. Here we used a model songbird species, the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata), to assess short‐term embryotoxic effects of in ovo MeHg exposure on hatching success and post‐hatching growth and nestling survival, as well as longer‐term ...

Sublethal propoxur toxicity to juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758): Biochemical, hematological, histopathological, and genotoxicity effects

The sublethal toxicological and genotoxic potential of propoxur, a widely used carbamate insecticide against household pests, in veterinary medicine, and in public health, was evaluated on carp as a model species (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) using the erythrocyte micronucleus test. Based on the 96‐h lethal concentration, 50% (LC50) data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ECOTOX Database ...

A three‐generational study of in ovo exposure to PBDE‐99 in the zebra finch

Based on a literature review of avian data for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), ecologically relevant doses, low (10 ng/egg), medium (100 ng/egg), and high (1,000 ng/egg) of the 2,2',4,4',5‐pentabromodiphenyl ether (BDE‐99) congener along with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) control were injected into the yolk sac of un‐incubated eggs of zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata. Offspring development ...

Bidet toilet seats with warm-water tanks: residual chlorine, microbial community, and structural analyses

Despite the reported health-related advantages of the use of warm water in bidets, there are health-related disadvantages associated with the use of these toilet seats, and the bacterial research is sparse. We conducted a survey on the hygienic conditions of 127 warm-water bidet toilet seats in restrooms on a university campus. The spray water from the toilet seats had less residual chlorine ...
