3-Chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) in soy sauce: A review on the formation, reduction, and detection of this potential carcinogen by Bai, Q.L., Khor, S.M.

“…There are 3 types of soy sauce: fermented, acid-hydrolyzed vegetable protein (acid- HVP), and mixtures of these. 3-Chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) is a heat- produced contaminants formed during the preparation of soy sauce and was found to be a by-product of acid-HVPproduced soy sauce in 1978. 3-MCPD has been reported to be carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, and reproductively toxic in laboratory animal testing and has been registered as a chemosterilant for rodent control. 3-MCPD is classified as a possible carcinogenic compound, and the maximum tolerated limit in food has been established at both national and international levels. …”

Morphometric Analysis of Craniodental Characters of the House Rat, Rattus rattus (Rodentia: Muridae) in Peninsular Malaysia by Mohamad Ikbal, Nurul Huda, Pathmanathan, Dharini, Bhassu, Subha, Simarani, Khanom, Omar, Hasmahzaiti

“…With the absence of R. rattus from lineage I and the presence of lineage IV in Southeast Asia, little is known about how rodent morphology varies biogeographically. We evaluate the skull morphometrics in the population of R. rattus in Peninsular Malaysia and examine the intraspecific variation of the skull by assessing 20 craniodental characters of 130 R. rattus specimens. …”

The role of Angiotensin converting Enzyme 2 and Marinobufagenin in Leptin induced Hypertension and Proteinuria during Pregnancy in Sprague Dawley Rats / Maryam Jameelah Md Hassan by Md Hassan, Maryam Jameelah

“…Although the precise mechanism for this remains unclear, marinobufagenin (MBG) has been implicated in some rodent models of pregnancy related hypertension. This study therefore investigated the effect of resibufogenin (RBG), a MBG antagonist, on leptin-induced changes in blood pressure, levels and expressions of markers of endothelial activation and ACE2 and proteinuria during pregnancy in normotensive rats. …”
