Newest firstBACKGROUND: Following the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada under the Cannabis Act (2018), regulatory frameworks were implemented to ensure product safety, quality, and consistency within the legal market. Previous studies revealed significantly greater pesticide contamination in illegal cannabis than in legal products. In light of these findings, the present study expands contaminant surveillance to…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study examined the effects of syringic acid (SA) against testicular toxicity induced by cadmium (CAD). In the study, once daily for 7 days, the control and CAD groups were administered sterile distilled water, while the CAD + SA and SA groups were administered 25 mg/kg SA. Additionally, on the first day of the study, saline solution was administered intraperitoneally to the control and SA groups, and 1.5 mg/k…
The quantification of harmful elements in cannabis is a relevant analytical task that requires metrological tools to ensure the reliability of the measurement results. This work reports the preparation and characterization of a certified reference material (CRM) for toxic elements-arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb)-in pulverized, lyophilized cannabis leaf tissue. To prepare the CRM INM-040-1, a portion of d…
Open article record in new tab ↗Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has demonstrated promise for phytoremediation due to an extensive root system, large biomass, and ability to survive under relatively high levels of heavy metals. However, little research has been conducted to determine the impact of heavy metal uptake in hemp grown for medicinal use. This study evaluated the potential for cadmium (Cd) uptake and its impact on growth, physiolog…
Open article record in new tab ↗With the intensification of human activities, plants are more frequently exposed to heavy metals (HM). Zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) are frequently and simultaneously found in contaminated soils, including agronomic soils contaminated by the atmospheric fallout near smelters. The fiber crop Cannabis sativa L. is a suitable alternative to food crops for crop cultivation on these soils. In this study, Cd (20 μM) and Zn…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background To investigate the protective effects of Tualang honey against the toxicity effects induced by cadmium (Cd) on the ovary. Methods A total of 32 female Sprague Dawley rats were taken and randomly divided into four groups (n = 8). Throughout the experimental period of 6 weeks, negative control-NC (vehicle deionized water), positive control-CD (Cd at 5 mg/kg), Tualang honey followed by Cd exposure-TH (Tual…
Open article record in new tab ↗The purpose of this work was to assess the influence of selected CNR1, MC4R, LEP, FTO and VDR FOKI gene polymorphisms on blood and urine concentration markers of lead, cadmium and arsenic in a population directly exposed to these metals. Eighty-five people exposed to lead, arsenic and cadmium were qualified to take part in the study. Standard urine samples and 25mL of venous blood from each worker were collected t…
Heavy metals are typical cumulative pollutants that can enter and poison the human body through the food chain. However, the molecular mechanism of heavy metal-induced oxidative stress is unclear. In this study, we characterize PvKelch-like-1 from P. vannamei and explore its antioxidant roles in immune regulation of crustaceans. PvKelch-like-1 full length contains 2107 nucleotides, consists of a 5' untranslated re…
