Assessment of copper accumulation in archived liver specimens from cats
(2021)Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess hepatic copper concentrations and zonal distribution in cat liver specimens. Methods: For this study, 121 archived, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver specimens from ... -
Bioavailability and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in Thriasio Plain, near Athens, Greece
(2017)Elevated concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are usually found in areas of intense industrial activity. Thriasio Plain is a plain near Athens, Greece, where most of the heavy industry of the country has ... -
Bioavailability and risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in garden edible vegetables and soils around a highly contaminated former mining area in Germany
(2017)Although soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in Europe has a history of many centuries, related problems are often considered as having been dealt with due to the enforcement of tight legislations. ... -
Challenges in microbially and chelate-assisted phytoextraction of cadmium and lead – A review
(2021)Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are ubiquitously present in surface soils, due to anthropogenic activities, causing threat to ecological and human health because of their carcinogenic nature. They accumulate in large quantities ... -
Comparative study of the effects of heavy metals on embryonic development of zebrafish
(2020)This study aimed to investigate the effects of heavy metals, such as copper, zinc, iron, cobalt, chromium, aluminium, manganese and molybdenum, on zebrafish egg hatching rate and the subsequent survival rate of the larvae. ... -
Determination of heavy metals in the territory of contaminated areas of Greece and their restoration through hyperaccumulators
(2021)Phytoremediation is an effective technique for the processing of contaminated soil and for sequestering environmental contaminants such as heavy metals. This kind of pollution is ubiquitous in mines and similar excavation ... -
Effects of aluminum and moisture levels on aluminum bioaccumulation and protein content in the earthworm Octodrilus complanatus
(2013)Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of soil aluminum levels and moisture content on aluminum (Al) bioaccumulation and protein content in the earthworm (Octodrilus complanatus). The experimental ... -
Hexavalent chromium availability and phytoremediation potential of Cichorium spinosum as affect by manure, zeolite and soil ageing
(2017)Cichorium spinosum (spiny chicory) is a wild edible vegetable, and a possible suitable species for Cr(VI)-phytoremediation. There are three approaches for altering Cr(VI) dynamics: reduction to Cr(III) by organic matter ... -
Insights into the molecular etiology of exercise-induced inflammation: Opportunities for optimizing performance
(2016)The study of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is of paramount importance not only because it affects athletic performance but also because it is an excellent model to study the mechanisms governing muscle cachexia ... -
Irrigation of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) with microcystin-enriched water holds low risk for plants and their associated rhizopheric and epiphytic microbiome
(2020)Microcystins (MCs) are toxins produced during cyanobacterial blooms. They reach soil and translocated to plants through irrigation of agricultural land with water from MC-impacted freshwater systems. To date we have good ... -
Lettuce facing microcystins-rich irrigation water at different developmental stages: Effects on plant performance and microcystins bioaccumulation
(2017)This study investigated the microcystins (MCs)-rich irrigation water effect on lettuce of different developmental stages, i.e. during a two months period, covering the whole period from seed germination to harvest at ... -
Phytoremediation potential of twelve wild plant species for toxic elements in a contaminated soil
(2021)Green remediation of soils highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be achieved using suitable plants. Such phytoremediation procedure often takes into consideration PTE concentrations in plants only, ... -
Root vegetables bioaccumulate microcystins-LR in a developmental stage-dependent manner under realistic exposure scenario: The case of carrot and radish
(2020)Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites of the ubiquitous cyanobacteria and exert their toxicity to plants and humans. Human health can be impacted by cyanotoxin bioaccumulation in crops via irrigation from contaminated water ... -
Spray irrigation with microcystins-rich water affects plant performance from the microscopic to the functional level and food safety of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)
(2021)Irrigation water coming from freshwater bodies that suffer toxic cyanobacterial blooms causes adverse effects on crop productivity and quality and raises concerns regarding food contamination and human exposure to toxins. ... -
A study of oil pollution effects on the ecology of a coastal lake ecosystem
(1997)This study aims to examine ecological affinities in Lake Koumoundourou in Central Greece. The main finding of the study is that, although the lake is heavily polluted by crude oil, the water circulation, which is assisted ... -
Unraveling the roles of plant specialized metabolites: using synthetic biology to design molecular biosensors
(2021)Plants are a rich source of specialized metabolites with a broad range of bioactivities and many applications in human daily life. Over the past decades significant progress has been made in identifying many such metabolites ... -
Varying concentrations of soil chromium (VI) for the exploration of tolerance thresholds and phytoremediation potential of the oregano (Origanum vulgare)
(2019)Varying concentrations of soil Cr(VI) were used in order to explore the tolerance thresholds and phytoremediation potential of Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare), in a pot experiment conducted outdoors. Oregano exhibited a ... -
We are what we eat: Ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) modulation through dietary products
(2020)During lifetime, the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for cellular defense against adverse conditions such as oxidative and heat stress tend to be less efficient, thus gradually leading to the natural phenomenon ...
