Yaqi Hu et al.
Biosensors & bioelectronics, 47, 45-49 (2013-04-03)
A novel light "on-off" photoelectrochemical sensing for the sensitive determination of hydroquinone was developed based on the porphyrin-functionalized Au nanoparticles on graphene (porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly modified onto graphene sheets using NaBH4 as reductant and the porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites

Decreased interleukin-1 (IL-1) production by mononuclear phagocytes has been shown to contribute to benzene myelotoxicity in animals. The study presented here was designed to examine the relevance of this mechanism in humans. Fresh human blood monocytes were exposed to 0.001-10

Critical reviews in toxicology, 37(10), 887-914 (2007-11-21)
The toxicology of hydroquinone has been reviewed on a number of previous occasions. This review targets its potential for carcinogenicity and possible modes of carcinogenic action. The evaluation made by IARC (1999) of its carcinogenic risk to humans was that
