TL;DR: The data demonstrate that cypermethrin induces systemic genotoxicity in mammals as it causes DNA damage in vital organs like brain, liver, kidney, apart from that in the hematopoietic system.
Abstract: Cypermethrin is the most widely used Type II pyrethroid pesticide because of its high effectiveness against target species and its low mammalian toxicity reported so far. It is a fast-acting neurotoxin and is known to cause free radical-mediated tissue damage. The present study investigates the genotoxic effects of cypermethrin in multiple organs (brain, kidney, liver, spleen) and tissues (bone marrow, lymphocytes) of the mouse, using the alkaline comet assay. Male Swiss albino mice were given 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 mg/kg BW of cypermethrin intraperitoneally, daily for 5 consecutive days. A statistically significant ( p kidney > bone marrow > liver > lymphocytes, as evident by the OTM. Our data demonstrate that cypermethrin induces systemic genotoxicity in mammals as it causes DNA damage in vital organs like brain, liver, kidney, apart from that in the hematopoietic system.

TL;DR: Results indicate that estrogenic chemicals are likely at play, and the increased dopamine and decreased serotonin ATP-dependent transport suggest that the municipal plume was serotonergic for mussels located at the downstream sites.
Abstract: Freshwater mussels, Elliptio complanata, were caged in special benthic pens and were immersed at one upstream (Ups) site and two downstream sites (8 and 11 km) of a primary-treated municipal effluent plume for 1 year. The levels of metallothionein-like proteins (MT), lipid peroxidation, protein-free DNA strands and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity were assayed in digestive gland, gill and gonad tissues to evaluate biological effects and damage. The levels of monoamines (serotonin and dopamine) in nerve ganglia, ATP-dependent transport activity and monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity were also investigated in the homogenates, synaptosomes and mitochondria, respectively. Results showed that significant amounts of sediment accumulated in cages and 82% of mussels survived the yearlong exposure period at the downstream sites. MT-like proteins were induced in all tissues with the following response intensity: gill (3-fold), digestive gland (1.4-fold) and gonad tissues (1.3-fold). Lipid peroxidation decreased (2.5-fold) in digestive gland but increased in gill (1.6-fold) and in gonad tissues (1.5-fold). GST activity was readily increased in digestive gland (2.5-fold), suggesting the presence of organic contaminants in the plume. Levels of protein-free DNA strands did not vary significantly in digestive gland and gill tissues but were significantly reduced in gonad tissues (2.5-fold) relative to the upstream site. In visceral nerve ganglia, both serotonin and ATP-dependent serotonin transport decreased 1.7-fold with a 4-fold increase of 5-hydroxyindole acetate (5-HIAA, a serotonin metabolite) level relative to the upstream site. However, MAO activity was somewhat reduced at downstream sites (0.7- to 0.9-fold of the activity at the upstream site). Dopamine levels were found to be decreased (1.5-fold), but dopamine ATP-dependent transport activity was increased 1.8-fold, suggesting reduced dopaminergic activity. These results indicate that estrogenic chemicals are likely at play, and the increased dopamine and decreased serotonin ATP-dependent transport suggest that the municipal plume was serotonergic for mussels located at the downstream sites. Mussels exposed for 1 year display a complex but characteristic pattern of responses that could lead to harmful health effects including neuroendocrine disruption of reproduction.

TL;DR: Casarett and Doull's Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons as mentioned in this paper is the most complete and up-to-date overview of the biomedical and environmental aspects of toxicology.
Abstract: The most trusted all-in-one overview of the biomedical and environmental aspects of toxicology - Now more complete, up-to-date, and in full color. It is a Doody's Core Title for 2015! New to the Eighth Edition Full-Color design to allow for a clearer interpretation of the basic components of toxicology featured throughout the text. Expanded tables, illustrations, and other visuals are updated with state-of-the-art standards that makes this edition even more current and relevant DVD with image bank features all tables and illustrations from the text in presentation-ready format. New Chapters include "Toxic Effects of Calories" and "Toxic Effects of Nanoparticles." The world's leading and most authoritative textbook on poisons has more to offer students, toxicologists, and pharmacologists than ever before. Now in full color, and thoroughly revised, the eighth edition of Casarett & Doull's Toxicology: The Basic Science of Poisons not only delivers a comprehensive review of the essential components of toxicology, it offers the most up-to-date, revealing, and in-depth look at the systemic responses of toxic substance available anywhere. Combined with the latest thinking by the field's foremost scholars plus solid coverage of general principles, modes of action, and chemical-specific toxicity, this landmark text continues to set the standard for toxicology references.
