Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects 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 · 1,469 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Bayesian Adaptive Design for Combination of Three Drugs in Cancer Phase I Clinical TrialsMourad Tighiouart, Quanlin Li, Steven Piantadosi, Andre RogatkoWe describe a Bayesian adaptive design for early phase cancer trials of a combination of three agents. This is an extension of an earlier work by the authors by allowing all three agents to vary during the trial and by assigning different drug combinations to cohorts of three patients. The primary objective is to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Aug 2016 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmphetamine Stimulates Protein Kinase and Calcium Influx to Increase Corticosterone and Aldosterone Secretion from Male Rat Adrenal CellsLing-Ling Chang, Wan-Song Alfred Wun, Cai-Yun Jian, Paulus S. WangAmphetamine is a potent central nervous system stimulant. Clinical trials have demonstrated that in healthy adults, low (therapeutic) doses of amphetamine can improve i.e., cognition, memory, attention behavior. An amphetamine overdose can affect cardiovascular, central nervous system, musculoskeletal, respiratory, urinary, or sexual function. Furthermore, amphetamine can activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to increase glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids released from adrenal. The object … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2021 · 7,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies on Lipids and Hepatorenal Circulating Indices in Guinea PigsAbaram Chesa Mankwe, Jonah Sydney Aprioku, Atuboyedia Wolfe ObianimeArtemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs) are employed as first-line agents in malaria chemotherapy. In many malaria endemic areas, ACTs are frequently abused partly due to resistance, poor drug control and inadequate health facilities. This study investigated the effects of prolong administration of Artesunate-Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (ATS-SP), Artesunate-Amodiaquine (ATS-Amod) and Artemether-Lumefantrine (ATM-Lum) on plasma levels of biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, ALP, urea and creatinine) … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2017 · 7,282 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPACT OF DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE IN PREVENTION OF PARACETAMOL INDUCED NEPHROTOXICITY IN RATSAbbas O. ElkaribParacetamol (PCM) overdose can cause nephrotoxicity with oxidative stress as one of the possible mechanisms mediating the event. However, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), the major secretory product of the human adrenal gland, has been shown to possess a multi-targeted antioxidant activity which is also effective against lipid peroxidation induced in various animal models and against various human disorders. In this study, the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2014 · 7,566 accessesView PDFCite
