furan/hemorrhage

Furan has been identified in foods such as heat-treated foods, including coffee, canned meat, hazelnuts, and infant foods and formulas. Children may be exposed to furan via either consumption of these foods or their derivatives. We evaluated the effects of furan on the thymus of weaning male rats in

Placental transport of dioxins and furans from mother to fetus takes place. It is probably related to the fatty acid transport. Between 10 and 20% of fatty acids in a full-term baby are of maternal origin. In adipose tissue of children that died in the early neonatal period concentrations of +/- 25%

Due to pollution of the environment with PCBs, dioxins and furans these highly poisonous chemicals have accumulated in the adipose tissue of human beings. In breast milk of 14 mothers concentrations of dioxins and furans were found in milk fat, close to or in the range of the concentrations

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most frequently prescribed drug for the treatment of inflammation and pain. However, conventional NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors have shown many side effects such as gastric mucosal damage and cardiovascular problems. Recently, the use of

Background: Compound Dan Zhi tablet (DZT) is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine formula. It has been used for the treatment of ischemic stroke for many years in clinical. However, its pharmacological mechanism is

OBJECTIVE To determine whether a specific adenosine A(2A) receptor agonist (ATL-146e) can ameliorate aspirin-induced gastric mucosal lesions in rats, and reduce neutrophil accumulation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. METHODS Gastric lesions were produced by oral gavage of aspirin (200

The medicinal plant Tirpitzia sinensis has been used by the Zhuang ethnic people in mountainous areas of Southwest China to stop bleeding, invigorate blood circulation, and treat inflammation and wounds. In order to further explore its traditional medicinal uses, the phytochemical

In breastmilk of 14 Dutch mothers and 5 Polish mothers the content of dioxins and furans is measured. The study in Dutch mothers is started to relate the level of these xenobiotics to bleeding in the perinatal and late neonatal period. Interference with coagulation is hypothesized in analogon to

The concentration of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in the fat of breast milk of 14 Dutch mothers varied from 5.35 to 17.0 ng kg-1 (nanograms per kilogram fat). Expressed as toxic equivalents the concentrations of the 17 different congeners of dioxin and furans in the fat of the breast

Natural menstrual cycle and/or oral contraception diversely affect women metabolites. Longitudinal metabolic profiling under constant experimental conditions is thereby realistic to understand such effects. Thus, we investigated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exhalation throughout menstrual
