Chemical Pesticides and Human Health: The Urgent Need for a New Concept in Agriculture.

TL;DR: It is more obvious than ever that the society needs the implementation of a new agricultural concept regarding food production, which is safer for man and the environment, and to this end, steps such as the declaration of Nyéléni have been taken.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concerns over use of glyphosate-based herbicides and risks associated with exposures: a consensus statement

TL;DR: GBHs are the most heavily applied herbicide in the world and usage continues to rise; Worldwide, GBHs often contaminate drinking water sources, precipitation, and air, especially in agricultural regions and regulatory estimates of tolerable daily intakes for glyphosate in the United States and European Union are based on outdated science.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential toxic effects of glyphosate and its commercial formulations below regulatory limits.

TL;DR: A coherent body of evidence is revealed indicating that GlyBH could be toxic below the regulatory lowest observed adverse effect level for chronic toxic effects, which includes teratogenic, tumorigenic and hepatorenal effects.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding

TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid colorimetric assay for cellular growth and survival: Application to proliferation and cytotoxicity assays

TL;DR: A tetrazolium salt has been used to develop a quantitative colorimetric assay for mammalian cell survival and proliferation and is used to measure proliferative lymphokines, mitogen stimulations and complement-mediated lysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple technique for quantitation of low levels of DNA damage in individual cells

TL;DR: Human lymphocytes were exposed to X-irradiation or treated with H2O2 and the extent of DNA migration was measured using a single-cell microgel electrophoresis technique under alkaline conditions and this technique appears to be sensitive and useful for detecting damage and repair in single cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid colorimetric assay for cell growth and survival. Modifications to the tetrazolium dye procedure giving improved sensitivity and reliability.

TL;DR: The reliability and sensitivity of the test have been increased to the point where it can in many cases replace the [3H]thymidine uptake assay to measure cell proliferation or survival in growth factor or cytotoxicity assays.

Investigation of the Alamar Blue (resazurin) fluorescent dye for the assessment of mammalian cell cytotoxicity

TL;DR: The identity of Alamar Blue is shown as resazurin, a very simple and versatile way of measuring cell proliferation and cytotoxicity that presents numerous advantages over other cytot toxicity or proliferation tests but there are several drawbacks to the routine use.
