2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin and Related Halogenated Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Examination of the Mechanism of Toxicity

TL;DR: The toxicity of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons appears to be due to the sustained expression of a normal cellular regulatory system, of which the author was previously unaware.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polychlorinated biphenyls as hormonally active structural analogues.

TL;DR: This work compares qualitative structure-activity relationships for PCBs with the limited information on the related non-coplanar chlorinated diphenyl ethers, providing further insights into the nature of the molecular recognition processes and support for the structural relationship of PCBs to thyroid hormones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free radical biology: xenobiotics, cancer, and aging.

TL;DR: Current thinking on the in vivo sources of radicals is summarized, covering both exogenous sources-xenobiotics, pollutants, carcinogens, etc.-and endogenous sources-superoxide systems and the arachidonic cascade and the effects of antioxidants on carcinogenesis and on the retardation of aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD).

TL;DR: Oxidative damage may contribute to many of the toxic responses produced by TCDD and its bioisosteres, and may be common to most of the tissue-damaging effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

PGRMC1 (progesterone receptor membrane component 1): a targetable protein with multiple functions in steroid signaling, P450 activation and drug binding.

TL;DR: Together with its biological role in promoting tumor survival, PGRMC1 is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in cancer and related malignancies.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of fatty acid methyl esters and dimethylacetals from lipids with boron fluoride–methanol

TL;DR: The procedure developed is simple, rapid, and generally applicable t o lipids, and the results did not affect the validity of the method.
Journal ArticleDOI

The plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase reaction

TL;DR: Several indications exist that the acyltransferase reaction is the major source of plasma esterified cholesterol in man, and one possibility is that it plays a role in the transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver.

Separation of lipid classes by chromatography on Florisil.

TL;DR: Preliminary experiments indicated that chromatography on Florisil gave good separations of lipid classes of naturally occurring lipids extracted from liver and blood.
