Research Excerpts

Overview

Phenanthrene is a low molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is composed of three fused benzene rings. Phenanthrene (Phe) is a kind of POP which existed extensively in the environment, but whose toxicity on mammals has so far received less focus.

Dosage Studied

This work investigated the binding behavior of phenanthrene by humic acids (HA-2 and HA-5), proteins (bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme and pepsin), and their complexes using a passive dosing technique. The current study develops a new dual exposure system for the simultaneous and independent controllability of cytochrome P450 contents.
