| evaluation of the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of extracts of mussels originating from moroccan atlantic coast, in human colonic epithelial cells caco-2. | industrial processing of phosphates generates chemical wastes which are, without any treatment, discharged directly into the atlantic ocean at jorf lasfar (jl), located 120 km south of casablanca (morocco) were shellfish are also collected by people without any control. marine bivalves concentrate these pollutants by filtration and serve as vectors in human's exposure. the objective of this study was to test and compare in vitro on human intestinal cells (caco-2) the cytotoxicity and genotoxicit ... | 2008 | 18214938 |
| [comparative evaluation of the toxicity induced by mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis) from two sites of the moroccan atlantic coast in mice]. | atlantic coast in mice. preliminary studies showed that seawater contains heavy metals from domestic, agricultural and industrial wastes. marine bivalves concentrate these pollutants by filtration and serve as vectors in human exposure. the objective of this study was to determine the concentration of heavy metals; cadmium (cd); chromium (cr), and lead (pb) in mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis) collected in two coastal sites; jorf lasfar (jl) (neighbouring a phosphate processing platform) and o ... | 2005 | 15810552 |
