Mar Environ Res 58:609-13. 2004..Results showed a biphasic trend for single antioxidants and TOSC, with an increase during the first 2 weeks of exposure to the polluted site followed by a progressive decrease up to a severe depletion in the final part of the experiment...
DNA fragmentation and oxidative stress in the hippocampal formation: a bridge between 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy) intake and long-lasting behavioral alterationsGiada Frenzilli
Department of Human Morphology and Applied Biology, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy
Behav Pharmacol 18:471-81. 2007..The present data indicate that the intake of very low doses of MDMA, comparable to those consumed by humans, produces selective hippocampal alterations which may underlie cognitive impairment and seizure susceptibility...

Dipartimento di Morfologia Umana e Biologia Applicata, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy
Environ Health Perspect 111:467-71. 2003..An elevated oxyradical generation, possibly related to altered sympathetic innervation, is hypothesized as responsible for the induction and persistence of noise-induced cellular damage...
