Toxicopathology of microcystin-LR in vivo and in vitro
Abstract
dc:descriptionMicrocystin-LR (MCLR), produced by the blue-green alga Microcystis aeruginosa, causes death of livestock and is a public health hazard. The mechanism of MCLR toxicity was investigated using the rat. Changes in serum chemistry parameters and morphology caused by MCLR were characterized in vivo and in vitro. The uptake and subcellular localization of tritiated-MCLR were determined in rat hepatocytes and perfused rat livers.
