To better understand the mass poisonings from pharmaceuticals to which diethylene glycol was mistakenly added, toxicologists examined how the metabolite diglycolic acid accumulates in kidney cells and specifically what role, if any, sodium dicarboxylate transporters play. The results of that study are a ToxSpotlight article, “,” in the of Toxicological Sciences (ToxSci).
The other November 2022 ToxSpotlight article, “,” investigates how St. John’s wort interacts with high levels of acetaminophen to determine whether St. John’s wort may temper or exacerbate the severe hepatotoxicity caused be excessive use of acetaminophen.
Both ToxSpotlight articles are free to read for nonsubscribers and appear alongside six other research papers:
