A recent study has revealed that “Glutathione-S-Transferase P” can alleviate the Cyclophosphamide-induced cardiotoxicity. Cyclophosphamide (CY) is a chemical compound most commonly used to treat lymphoma, leukemia, and some other cancers. In fact, Cyclophosphamide is an anticancerous drug and it is also used as a preparatory treatment …

Researchers have found a molecular link between selenium and cancer before that selenium was considered a toxin many years ago. According to these findings, Selenium has some of the most important roles in humans and other animals. Selenium acts through the formation of Selenoproteins. Selenocysteine is …
Mercury is one of the heavy metals causing different adverse effects. It is termed as a mercury poisoning. Mercury is widespread and distributed throughout the environment. It causes a variety of metabolic disorders (mercury poisoning) mainly through the interaction with Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and binding …
Organophosphate compounds are frequently used to control flies, lice, and insects of ornamental plants as well as food crops and soil insects. It has anticholinesterase activity, thus, its accumulation in the soil and then in the food crops may cause organophosphate toxicity most commonly through the …
Mercury is a bivalent, stable element which, when incorporated into the living organism, causes mercury poisoning. It is the second most common cause of metal poisoning. Most of the elemental mercury, released from the industries get oxidized to bivalent mercury ion (mercuric ion or Hg++). Thus, …
DNA polymerase that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides to form DNA can be influenced by cation-cofactors. In RNA viruses, like HIV, reverse transcriptase uses Mg2+ ions as a cofactor to perform catalysis. Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that catalyzes DNA synthesis using the information available in …
