Among the numerous chemicals discharged into surrounding environment, bisphenol A (BPA) and octylphenol (OP) have been shown to increase oxidative stress in body by disturbing prooxidant/antioxidant balance of cells. Cinnamon aqueous extract (CAE) is a natural product rich polyphenolic compounds that antioxidant activity. This study was designed investigate protective efficacy CAE against disorders induced BPA OP male albino rats. Animals were divided 6 groups (10 rats each) treated orally,...
Ionizing radiation has cytotoxic and genotoxic effects caused mainly by the oxidative damage induced free radical release. The need for radioprotectives is increasing to protect normal tissues during radiotherapy. In present study, we investigated radioprotective effect of Date syrup in rats subjected whole body at 6 Gy through biochemical, molecular histopathological analysis. Significant elevations were recorded activities serum ALT, AST, ALP LDH levels all lipid profiles parameters, while...
This study evaluates the antitumor efficacy of hesperidin (Hesp) versus cisplatin (Cis) in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC)-bearing mice, as well its protective effect against Cis-triggered nephrotoxicity. Seventy female mice were allocated into control, Hesp, EAC, Hesp-protected, Hesp-treated, Cis-treated, and Cis+Hesp-treated groups. The inoculation with EAC cells significantly reduced mean survival time, while increased body weight, abdominal circumference, ascitic fluid volume, viable...

Fifty adult rats were specified into: Control; Cro (30 mg/kg);...
The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of argan oil (AO) against nephrotoxic effects following overdose and long-term administration betamethasone (BM). phytochemical compositions AO were assessed using GC/MS. Forty eight male Wister albino rats divided into six groups treated for 3 successive weeks. control group was orally administrated distilled water daily, BM received (1 mg/kg, IM, day after day), AO/0.5 AO/1 (0.5 mL/kg, 1 orally, respectively), + group. results...
Aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2 O3 -NPs) are exceedingly used in various industrial and commercial applications, providing growing concerns about their potential adverse impacts on animals human health. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate protective effect of sesamol (SML) against induced hepatorenal toxicity Al2 -NPs. Forty male rats were randomly assigned into four groups treated orally for 28 consecutive days. Control group received distilled water. SML (100 mg/kg...
Ivermectin (IVM), a broad spectrum anthelmintic drug, is considered safe drug; however, there are few reports about its toxic effects in particularly at accidental overdose exposure. Therefore, the current study was designed to investigate potential protective roles of vitamin E (Vit E) and grape seed oil (GSO) against acute hepatorenal toxicity IVM mice. Mice were divided into four equal groups. Control vehicle group administrated corn (0.2 ml/animal), (6.5 mg/kg b.w.), Vit E+IVM (200 b.w.)...
Aflatoxins (AFs), widely distributed food-borne mycotoxins, affect quality and safety of food cause economic losses in livestock. In this study, the protective effect Bee Pollen (BP) against some immunotoxic hazards elucidated from eating AFs-containing diet was investigated Wistar rats. Rats were randomly classified intofour groups treated for 30 days, Group 1; control negative, 2; Total AFs (3 mg kg(-1) basal diet), 3; BP (20 g diet) 4; AFs+BP diet. The immunoprotective revealed terms...
Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the protective potential of naringin (NG) against di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP)- induced testicular damage and impairment spermatogenesis in rats. Forty-two male Wistar albino rats were divided into six equal groups, treated orally, 3 times weekly for 8 successive weeks. Control vehicle group was administrated olive oil, naringin-treated administered NG (80 mg/kg), DBP 250- 500- intoxicated groups received (250 mg/kg) (500 respectively, + 250 500...
Asphyxia is mainly induced by interference with respiration, or lack of oxygen in respired air as entrapment suffocation that may occur animals human. In this study 24 male albino rats were assigned into four equal groups: G1 (control negative); G2 (exposed to asphyxia); G3 (asphyxiated pretreated salbutamol); G4 digoxin). The results revealed no change the time intervals from onset till coma (G2, and G4). Also, all external internal classical signs asphyxia appeared on different asphyxiated...
Alumina (aluminum oxide) nanoparticles (AlNPs) have been categorized among the most important nano-metals, with wide applications in many fields as food, agriculture, industry, engineering, pharmacy, medicine and others. The extensive use of AlNPs results a massive release them into environment resulting potential adverse impacts on animals human health. Toxicokinetic studies demonstrated rapid absorption systemic distribution to different organs. mainly induced their toxic damage by...
The objective of this study was to assess the ameliorative effect naringin (NG) against di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP)-induced testicular injury in rats. Six equal groups were treated orally, 3 times a week for six successive weeks: control vehicle group received olive oil; NG (80 mg/kg); DBP 250 and 500 mg/kg, respectively; NG+DBP (80mg/kg), an hour before administration at respectively. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level total antioxidant capacity (TAC), as well pathological changes,...
Cyclophosphamide (CYP), an oxazophosphorine- alkylating agent, is a widely used drug for treatment of neoplastic and severe autoimmune diseases. Adverse effects CYP restrict its therapeutic benefits. Mesna (MS), thiol compound, as protective agent against hemorrhagic cystitis induced by CYP. This study aimed to investigate the potential role raw garlic homogenate (RGH) improving effect mesna toxicity in rats. Thirty male albino rats were divided into five equal groups. Control group, group...
Extensive use of imidacloprid (IMI) insecticide in the agro-vet practices leads to continuous animal and human exposure. Exposure pregnant dams such insecticides results fetal malformations. In light this, present study was designed investigate teratogenic effects two different doses IMI possible mechanistic role oxidative stress. Fifteen females were randomly divided into three equal groups orally treated daily during organogenesis period (6-15th GD), control (distilled water), LD-IMI (45...
