[Update on the pharmacology of Spirulina (Arthrospira), an unconventional food].

The conclusion is that even if this cyanobacterium has been one of the most extensively studied from the chemical, pharmacological and toxicological points of view, it is still necessary to expand the research in order to have more consistent data for its possible use in human beings.

[Pharmacology and toxicology of Spirulina alga].

In animal experiments for acute, subchronic and chronic toxicity, reproduction, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity the algae did not cause body or organ toxicity, and the Spirulina administered to the animals were at much higher amounts than those expected for human consumption.

Synthesis and Hypolipidaemic Evaluation of a Series of α‐Asarone Analogues Related to Clofibrate in Mice

A series of α‐asarone analogues related to clofibrate, containing an acetic acid group at C‐2 of the aromatic ring, has been prepared as the acids or as the ethyl and methyl esters, which were examined in hyperlipidaemic male mice to evaluate their ability to modify serum lipop protein cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, high‐density cholesterol and triglycerides after oral administration.

Tributyltin Effects on Juvenile Mussel Growth

The data suggest that test animals were probably under significant stress induced by the Sioassay test system and the effects of TBT on juvenile mussel growth may have been overestimated in this and other studies.

Teratogenic effects of Plectranthus fruticosus essential oil in mice

Plectranthus fruticosus essential oil induced both embryo‐ and feto‐toxicity in the three treated groups, as manifested by a statistically significant increase in the numbers of resorbed and malformed fetuses.

Effects of TBT on Marine Organisms: Field Assessment of A New Site-Specific Bioassay System

A Portable Environmental Test System (PETS) was evaluated in San Diego Bay over a 7-month period using tributyltin (TBT) antifouling leachates. Three TBT concentrations (\bar{x} = 0.065, 0.077and…
