Organ selective toxicity
8 important questions on Organ selective toxicity
What is molecular homology?
What is an example of liver selective transcription factors?
HNF1alpha is abundantly expressed in liver and HNF1Beta in kidney.
What are the mechanisms behind DES induced developmental changes?
- DES can methylate the DNA wherby DES is able to sensitize the target cells. like cells from the mullerian duct.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Why can only DES induce embryotoxicity and not normal estrogen?
- DES is an extremely potent ligand of the ER compared with estradiol.
- maybe there are more factors involved like receptor conformational changes. Differential binding to response elements on DNA, recruitment of coregulatory proteins and cross talk with signaling systems.
- Some of the effects of DES are caused by non-ER mechanisms
What are the mechanims behind the plasiticizer DEHP liver toxicity in rodents?
- Most humans express mutated forms of PPARalpha (truncated) which are functionaly inactive.
Why are liver and kidneys so often involved in toxicity?
- both organs have a large variety of metabolizing enzymes including p450
- both organs contain polarized cells. both cell types have excretory function. Such primary or secondary transport systems can highly upconcentrate xenobiotics or their metabolites in certain compartments.
- The liver also harbors high amounts of Kupffer cells that can induce immune mediated toxicity.
What is the role of CYP2E1 in the toxic respons of APAP?
What are mechanisms underlying the cephalosporin nephrotoxicity?
- It is rapidly transported across the basolateral membrane via OAT1.
- cephalosporin has a low affinity for OAT4 at the apical membrane.
- result accumulation.
- Downstream consequences: redox cycling of the pyridine ring, acylation and inactivation of tubular cell proteins through spontaneous reactivity of the beta lactam ring and inhibition of the mitochondrial fatty acyl carnitine transport.
- inhibition of complex 4 in the mitochondria.
- Other xenobiotics have similar toxic mechanisms.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
