Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] compounds are Group-I human carcinogens. Cr(VI)-induced DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) have been implicated in the mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of Cr(VI). Although multiple mechanisms have been suggested for Cr(VI)-induced DNA-protein crosslinking, the mechanism of formation of DNA-protein crosslinks

Visualization of neuronal elements is of fundamental importance in modern neuroscience. Golgi-Cox impregnation is a widely employed method that provides detailed information about morphological characteristics of neurons, but none regarding their neurochemical features. Immunocytochemical procedures, on the other hand, can

The present work aims to compare the sensitivity of embryos and adult zebrafish to chromium (VI) (as potassium dichromate) focusing on biomarkers (cholinesterase, glutathione S-transferase and lactate dehydrogenase) as endpoints. Zebrafish eggs showed less sensitivity to Cr (VI) (96 h-LC50=145.7
