The discovery of bradykinin led to a new understanding of many physiological and pathological phenomena including circulatory shock induced by venoms and toxins.
Soldiers on future battlefields could be protected against germ warfare agents by having blood transfusions with genetically modified cells that can neutralise deadly biological toxins, scientists have found.
However, two plants -- the peace lily and florist's chrysanthemum -- are said to cleanse the air of all five potentially harmful toxins and are deemed the most effective.
Some authors have noted that, despite its bacteriostatic effect "in vitro", linezolid behaves as a bactericidal antibiotic "in vivo" because it inhibits the production of toxins by staphylococci and streptococci.
Catalase can also catalyze the oxidation, by hydrogen peroxide, of various metabolites and toxins, including formaldehyde, formic acid, phenols, acetaldehyde and alcohols.
Other causes of hemolytic lesion include hypophosphatemia, exposure to toxins such as lead, infections such as ehrlichiosis or babesiosis, and rarely, neonatal isoerythrolysis.
