In this study, five heavy metals in canned tuna fish were determined after digestion by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists methods. Mercury and arsenic levels in canned tuna fish…
Metallothionein and Anti-Metallothionein, Complementary Elements of Cadmium-Induced Renal Disease
Metallothionein (MT) is a low–molecular weight, cysteine-rich stress response protein with a high affinity for divalent heavy metals. MT was originally identified as a cadmium-rich protein in the equine renal…
The Pathophysiology of Mitochondrial Cell Death
In the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, caspase activation is closely linked to mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP). Numerous pro-apoptotic signal-transducing molecules and pathological stimuli converge on mitochondria to induce MOMP.…
Analysis of Heavy Metals in Scalp Hair Samples of Hypertensive Patients by Conventional and Microwave Digestion Methods
The abnormal metabolism of metal ions plays an important role in health and disease conditions, and studies about them have been attracting significant interest. The aim of our study was…
