Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Quality Assessment of A Constructed Wetland Treating Landfill Leachate and Industrial Park RunoffC. Galbrand, I. G. Lemieux, A. E. Ghaly et al.A surface flow constructed wetland was used for the treatment of landfill leachate and industrial park runoff. The wetland consisted of seven cells and was designed as a kidney shape to facilitate high retention time. The water quality was assessed for iron, manganese, phosphorus (orthophosphate), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrogen (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and TKN), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,376 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCancer may be caused by the Immune ReactionRichmond T. PrehnHormesis-like effects of immunity have been documented during tumor-growth experiments in mice, quantitatively large immune-reactions have inhibited while lesser quantities of the same specific immune-reactants have been stimulatory to the growth of implanted tumors. Likewise, carcinogenesis has been inhibited by a high quantities of immune reactants, but positively stimulated by lower levels of the same reactants. One observation suggests that … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,462 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishment and Evaluation of the Vegetative Community in A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC.C. Galbrand, A.M. Snow, A.E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA surface flow constructed wetland, designed to curve in a kidney shape in order to increase the length to width ratio to 5:1 was used to treat runoff from an industrial park. A natural wetland system located approximately 200 m downstream of the constructed wetland was selected to act as the vegetative community model for the constructed wetland. The selected … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSubacute Toxicity of Crocus Sativus L. (Saffron) Stigma Ethanolic Extract in RatsDaryoush Mohajeri, Ghafour Mousavi, Mehran Mesgari et al.The medicinal properties attributed to Crocus sativus L. (saffron) are extensive. The safety of saffron is important in relation to its medicinal applications. This study was performed to elucidate the possible toxic effects of ethanolic extract of Crocus sativus L. stigma on liver, kidney and some hematological parameters in rats. Wistar rats were randomly assigned into four groups of eight … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Dietary Emamectin Benzoate at Recommended and Overdose Levels on the Pathophysiological Responses and Tolerability of Oreochromis niloticus at Fry StageJasmine Singha, Thangapalam Jawahar Abraham, Satyen Kumar Panda, Prasanna Kumar PatilEmamectin Benzoate (EB) has been recommended as a feed additive for the control of fish ectoparasites. This investigation examined the impact of dietary EB on physiological responses, antioxidant defence mechanisms, and histopathological changes in key organs, and on the kinetics of residue deposition and elimination in the muscle of Oreochromis niloticus fry. Fry were administered EB feeds at 50 µg … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,486 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunological Response of Albino Rats Immunized with UV-Killed Candida albicansAhmad Ibrahim, Yahaya Abdullahi Umar, Mohammed Shehu BusuThe treatments of systemic candidiasis in humans with the current antifungal drugs of choice such as azole derivatives and amphotericin B have raised issues of toxicity and resistance among others. The immunogenic property of killed C. albicans was explored to evoke immunological response in the possible prevention of candidemia. Rats were immunized after acclimatization on two occasions with 106 cells/ml … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2019 · 7,716 accessesView PDFCite
