Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other radicals are involved in a variety of biological phenomena, such as mutation, carcinogenesis, degenerative and other diseases, inflammation, aging, and… (More)
We present a general methodology for performing statistical inference on the components of a real-valued matrix parameter for which rows and columns are subject to order restrictions. The proposed… (More)
The INHAND Project (International Harmonization of Nomenclature and Diagnostic Criteria for Lesions in Rats and Mice) is a joint initiative of the Societies of Toxicologic Pathology from Europe… (More)
Epidemiologists have associated particulate matter (PM) air pollution with cardiovascular morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. However, experimental evidence demonstrating causality and… (More)
BACKGROUND
Mechanisms of cardiovascular injuries from exposure to gas and particulate air pollutants are unknown.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine whether episodic exposure of rats to ozone or… (More)
The cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme has been implicated as an important mediator of pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, the lung fibrotic responses were investigated in COX-1 or COX-2-deficient (-/-)… (More)
Use of the dioxin toxic equivalency factor (TEF) approach in human risk assessments assumes that the combined effects of dioxin-like compounds in a mixture can be predicted based on a… (More)
We have generated a mouse that cannot synthesize very long acyl chain (C22-C24) ceramides (Pewzner-Jung, Y., Park, H., Laviad, E. L., Silva, L. C., Lahiri, S., Stiban, J., Erez-Roman, R., Brugger,… (More)
To improve the precision and consistency of experimental results, we have developed a scoring system for proliferative epithelial lesions in the mouse prostate based on histological growth patterns… (More)
These investigations of riddelliine analyzed potential carcinogenesis and the utility of the female-rat/male-mouse design in bioassays and dose-response. Groups of 50 Fischer rats and B6C3F1 mice… (More)
