Carbamazepine induces a bioenergetics disruption to microvascular endothelial cells from the blood-brain barrier (2020)
Journal Article
Alelwani, W., Elmorsy, E., Kattan, S. W., Babteen, N. A., Alnajeebi, A. M., Al-Ghafari, A., & Carter, W. G. (2020). Carbamazepine induces a bioenergetics disruption to microvascular endothelial cells from the blood-brain barrier. Toxicology Letters, 333, 184-191. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2020.08.006

Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a widely employed anti-seizure medication that crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to exert its anti-convulsant action. The effects of CBZ on components of the BBB have yet to be completely delineated. Hence the current study...

The heavy metals lead and cadmium are cytotoxic to human bone osteoblasts via induction of redox stress (2019)
Journal Article
Al-Ghafari, A., Elmorsy, E., Fikry, E., Alrowaili, M., & Carter, W. G. (2019). The heavy metals lead and cadmium are cytotoxic to human bone osteoblasts via induction of redox stress. PLoS ONE, 14(11), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0225341

The heavy metals (HMs) lead and cadmium are persistent environmental pollutants capable of inducing ill-health in exposed individuals. One of the primary sites of accumulation and potential damage from HMs is bone, and we therefore examined the acute...

The loss of α- and β-tubulin proteins are a pathological hallmark of chronic alcohol consumption and natural brain ageing (2018)
Journal Article
Labisso, W., Raulin, A., Nwidu, L., Kocon, A., Wayne, D., Erdozain, A., …Carter, W. (2018). The loss of α- and β-tubulin proteins are a pathological hallmark of chronic alcohol consumption and natural brain ageing. Brain Sciences, 8(9), Article 175. https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci8090175

Repetitive excessive alcohol intoxication leads to neuronal damage and brain shrinkage. We examined cytoskeletal protein expression in human post-mortem tissue from Brodmann’s area 9 of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Brain samples from 44 individuals w...
