In this study assessed the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of myristicin and 1’-hydroxy-myristicin after 24 h of exposure in HepG2 cells. Methodology: The compounds were tested up to 600 μM concentration, for 24 h. The genotoxicity was assessed with alkaline and neutral comet assay and micronucleus assay. The data were analysed by one-way ANOVA. Results: It is to be emphasized that only the synthetic Phase 1 metabolite (1’-hydroxymyristicin) showed a genotoxic effect starting from the concentration of 150 μM both in comet and micronucleus tests. However, it is important to point out that the same concentration cause a statistically significant (p<0.001) apoptotic process. Conclusion: The consumption of a traditional diet determines very low levels of exposure to the parent myristicin. This fact implies as the primary metabolic pathway the O-demethylation (5-allyl-2,3-dihidroxyanisole) and not to Phase I metabolism, which leads to the conclusion that this substance could not present a significant risk to humans.","PeriodicalId":16816,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology","volume":"14 1","pages":"170-179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82186132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subjects and methods: A total number of children from 15 to 17 years (teenagers' students) in EL-Zarka district was 1106 from which 200 vaccinated children was the sample size of the study 103(51.5%) males and 97(48.5%) females .The studied students were chosen randomly from 3 secondary schools in EL-Zarka district. 118 students (59.0%) were from rural areas and 82(41.0%) from urban areas. All included children were subjected to complete history taking by the self-administered questionnaire, clinical examinations, and laboratory investigations (CBC, Anti HBs antibodies by ELISA and Anti HBc antibodies by ELISA). Results: The titer of HBsAb in 40% is less than (10IU/L) meaning loss of immunity to hepatitis B, and 59.5% of waning immunity (10100), only 0.5% had good immunity. There was significant difference between different HBsAb levels as regard to gender distribution (i.e., gender had an effect on seroconversion of HBV vaccine). There was no effect of residence, socioeconomic status, BMI, ICU admission, feeding pattern, Hgb level and WBCs count on the seroconversion of HBV vaccine level. Conclusion: Hepatitis B vaccine has long lasting immunity extended to at least 15 years. No effect of urbanization, socioeconomic standards, BMI or Hgb% on level of HBsAb seroprotection. [Mohamad M.
