  2. Methylene blue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylene_blue

    Methylene blue has been used in calcium channel blocker toxicity as a possible rescue therapy for distributive shock unresponsive to first line agents. Limited to case reports , a 2024 review found low-quality evidence that methylene blue may reduce short-term mortality, duration of the need for vasopressors, and length of hospital stay.

  3. Toxicology testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicology_testing

    Toxicology testing, also known as safety assessment, or toxicity testing, is the process of determining the degree to which a substance of interest negatively impacts the normal biological functions of an organism, given a certain exposure duration, route of exposure, and substance concentration.

  4. Methionine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methionine

    Methionine ball and stick model spinning. Methionine (symbol Met or M) [3] (/ m ɪ ˈ θ aɪ ə n iː n /) [4] is an essential amino acid in humans.. As the precursor of other non-essential amino acids such as cysteine and taurine, versatile compounds such as SAM-e, and the important antioxidant glutathione, methionine plays a critical role in the metabolism and health of many species ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtox_bioassay

    This test is the best protocol for testing samples of unknown toxicity, a high level of toxicity, or when the test results are required to provide the highest confidence and precision. This test consists of two controls and eight sample dilutions in duplicate. [14] Acute Toxicity 100% Test is a procedure that tests the sample at 100% sample ...

  6. Methionine sulfoximine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methionine_sulfoximine

    Methionine sulfoximine (MSO, also known as MetSox [1]) is an irreversible glutamine synthetase inhibitor. It is the sulfoximine derivative of methionine with convulsant effects. [2] Methionine sulfoximine is composed of two different diastereomers, which are L-S-Methionine sulfoximine and L-R-Methionine sulfoximine.

  7. S-Adenosyl methionine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Adenosyl_methionine

    S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM), also known under the commercial names of SAMe, SAM-e, or AdoMet, is a common cosubstrate involved in methyl group transfers, transsulfuration, and aminopropylation. Although these anabolic reactions occur throughout the body, most SAM is produced and consumed in the liver. [ 1 ]

  8. Fixed-dose procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-dose_procedure

    The fixed-dose procedure (FDP), proposed in 1992 by the British Toxicology Society, is a method to assess a substance's acute oral toxicity. [1] [2]In comparison to the older LD 50 test developed in 1927, this procedure produces similar results while using fewer animals and causing less pain and suffering. [3]
