Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a potent hepatotoxin, but a few studies suggested that it might
also induce nephrotoxicity. However, nephrotoxicity induced by prolonged oral exposure to …

Abstract Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), a potent hepatotoxin can cause liver damages. However,
research on hepatic lipid metabolism caused by long-term exposure to environmental …

Oral intake of Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is the principal route of exposure to this toxin, with
prolonged exposure leading to liver damage of unspecific symptomatology. The aim of the …

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a potent hepatotoxin, and increasing evidence suggests that it
might also induce kidney injury. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the cytotoxicity …

Abstract Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in freshwater systems and intensified aquaculture
have increased the risk to human health through exposure to cyanotoxins such as …

Increasing evidence indicates that exposure to microcystin-LR (MC-LR) can cause kidney
damage. However, the association between MC-LR exposure and chronic kidney disease …

Acute intoxication with MC-LR induces cytoskeletal alterations, apoptosis and necrosis of
hepatocytes resulting in intrahepatic hemorrhage. Preliminary results have shown that …

The effect of acute exposure of intraperitoneal injection of microcystin-LR (MCLR) on
antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation has been studied in liver and kidney of rats. Rats …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of microcystin-LR (MCLR) orally
administered to mice using an immunostaining method. MCLR was orally dosed at 500 …

Microcystin-leucine arginine (MCLR) is a phycotoxin produced by cyanobacteria. As a
hepatotoxin, increasing evidence suggests that it has some negative effects on the mammal …
