The data from the cytotoxicity study was analyzed using factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) with statistical software Dell Statistica (data analysis software system) version 12, Dell Inc, Tulsa, USA, country (2015) available from http://www.Software.dell.com. The data from total GSH and ROS assays were analyzed using “one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison tests with GraphPad Prism version 6.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, La Jolla California USA, http://www.graphpad.com.anova using Graphpad software).
The effect of binary mixture of metals (Cd + As, Cd + Pb and As + Pb) and B[a]P + metals (B[a]P + As, B[a]P + Cd and B[a]P + Pb) on cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells are presented in Table 4 and Figures 1 to 6.
Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb) either alone (main effect) or binary combinations, Cd + As, Cd + Pb and As + Pb (interaction effect) caused significant cytotoxicity to HepG2 cells (Table 1, Fig. 1 …show more content…
All the three metals significantly increased the total GSH level compared to vehicle control. Arsenic treatment resulted in a dose dependent increase in the total GSH level. In the case of Cd and Pb, decrease in the total GSH level was observed at higher concentrations compared to lower concentrations (Figure 9).
Metal mixtures decreased the total GSH level compared to vehicle control (Fig. 9). At the lower combinations, As + Cd (As + Cd, 50 + 0.1 µM) and Cd + Pb (1 + 1.5 µM) mixtures, minimal increase in the total GSH level was observed and the remaining combinations of As + Cd and Cd + Pb decreased the total GSH level. The binary mixtures of As + Pb (50 + 20 µM) and Cd + Pb (1+ 20 µM) caused a significant reduction of 51 and 34% in the total GSH level compared to As or Cd alone. Cadmium with As (As + Cd, 50 + 1 µM) caused significant reduction of 36% in the total GSH level compared to As alone (Figure

    Aqueous Fertilizer Lab Report

    The compound Fe(NO3)3+12H2O was added to satisfy the iron component, and KCl was used in place of KNO3 to eliminate the usage of two compounds that had limiting reagents. This choice minimized the number of calculations that needed to be made and reduced possible errors. Despite efforts made to reduce errors, a contamination occurred while personal tests to find what caused the formation of a precipitate were conducted. The combination of Fe(NO3)3+12H2O and NaNO3 resulted in a small amount of precipitate that was significantly smaller than the initial precipitate that was viewed when all compounds were mixed. Considering this combination did not produce the same precipitate, a final test was conducted, which resulted in the same precipitate that formed when all compounds were mixed together.…

    Poisoner's Handbook Deborah Blum Summary

    Arsenic was used commonly in elixirs prior to the 1920’s. Although it comes in various colors and forms the most common and the most useful is the grey form of arsenic and it is also commonly paired with lead, as well as, used in pesticides. It is easily obtained and as a result was used as a common poison in early America. It was often cause severe diarrhea, cancers, and strokes.…

    4.3.3. Binary mixture toxicity of As, Cd and Pb All the three metal mixtures (As + Cd, Cd + Pb and As + Pb) displayed synergistic response at the 10% level and strong synergism was observed for the mixture of As + Pb with CI value of 0.25. The observed synergism was extended up to 30 and 50% level for Cd+ Pb and As + Pb mixtures, respectively. The binary mixture of As + Cd showed an additive response at the 30-50% level. All the mixtures showed an antagonistic effect at the IC90 level and the mixture of As + Pb displayed strong antagonism (CI value 3.3).…

    Sister Chromatid Exchange

    Exposure to these chemicals is imminent because they can be found anywhere in the environment. As a result, the effects of exposure to genotoxic chemicals have always been of great interest due to the linkage of exposure to these chemicals and cancer. It has been proven that exposure to genotoxic chemicals damages DNA and it has also been hypothesized that prolonged exposure could even result in cancer. In order to determine whether a chemical with suspected genotoxic effects does damage DNA, the frequency of sister chromatid exchange has been used. Sister chromatid exchange is a sensitive biomarker for detecting genotoxic chemicals.…

    Chemical Lead Affects The Brain Research

    The toxicology of the chemical, lead, affects the brain because in a developing brain, such as a child’s, the cells are still being produced, therefore can be easily manipulated by the low or high levels of exposure to lead. Lead acts as a poison to the brain as it harms the mitochondria, which is critical for energy fabrication within the neuron, and an alteration in this function may damage the cell, because it does not have the proper building blocks to make it work properly, and to do its function. Lead also affects the brain’s function by interfering with neuron-transmitter release and synapse formation. Lead affects different parts of the brain such as the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus. The cerebral cortex assists in action…

    What Are Porphyry Copper Deposits

    Abstract Porphyry copper deposits are important for economic value and resources. Some of the common metals found in porphyry copper deposits are gold, silver, and molybdenite. Most porphyry copper deposits can be found along the Pacific Rim and formed during the Tertiary and Quaternary periods. Porphyry copper deposits form through a series of subducting tectonic events, having a copper bearing source, and convection of hydrothermal fluids acting on an igneous intrusion.…

    Lead In Environment

    Lead (Pb) is one of an important contaminant surrounding our environment. Lead occur naturally in all soil and water (1), or can be found deep within the ground located in ore (2). Although lead can be found in small quantities, there is a great quantity of lead flow in the environment that is detrimental to human beings and plants. However, despite lead is a toxic metal, there are still lots of households products contains lead; burning of paper products, discarded rubber, battery casings, and painted wood (3). First of all, the application of lead in gasoline (Pb) is very dangerous.…

    Detrimental Effects Of Dissociated NMC On Aquatic Microorganisms

    As the dependence on lithium batteries increased with an elevated demand for clean energy, it became increasingly important to consider the effect of these batteries on the environment. Nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) made up many of these batteries and could dissociate in aquatic environments. Prior experiments, such as Hang et. Al. 2016, reported detrimental effects of dissociated NMC on aquatic microorganisms.1…

    Carbodimide Chemistry Analysis

    The optimized PF0 encapsulated hybrid NCs formulation was achieved by a two-step process (Fig 1) using nanoprecipitation and subsequently coating with chitosan. In Step-I, the nanoprecipitation technique was used to prepare PF0 loaded BSA NCs (PF0-ANC). In this nanoprecipitation technique, acetone was used as a desolvent [40]. Varying concentrations of PF0 solutions (125µM - 375µM) and BSA solution (156.25µM – 468.75µM) (Table 1) were mixed in a glass vial.…
