The attenuation of doxorubicin-induced testicular toxicity with improved testicular histoarchitecture of mice by the bioactive compounds in leaves: Experimental and computational studies.

Doxorubicin, as an antibiotic causes toxicity in human tissues through the generation of oxidant species; however, (Solanaceae) is ethnopharmacologically and scientifically reported to possess antidotal activities. This study was designed to validate the antidotal potency of the plant's bioactive compounds on rats' testes following induction with doxorubicin through the evaluation of oxidative stress markers, lipid peroxidation indices, testes' histological sections, and profiling of the plant's bioactive compounds against some proteins. The collection and preparation of the plant extract, testicular toxicity induction, seminal analysis, assay of testosterone and oxidative stress markers, lipid peroxidation profiling, histomorphological studies, retrieval of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase from PDB, GC-MS, ADME, and docking analyses followed standard protocols.

The antimalarial profiling of 's herbal formulation attenuated biochemical alterations and improved hepatocytes' histoarchitecture in -infected mice.

Plasmodium parasite causes malaria and affects the biochemical, physiological, and histoarchitecture of the hepatocytes and blood. The resultant effect leads to alterations in the metabolic activities of the liver, erythrocytes, as well as the buffer system. Therefore, we investigated the antiplasmodial activity, histomorphological studies of the hepatocytes and alterations in biochemical parameters in infected mice administered with the herbal formulation of aqueous extracts of stem bark and leaves.

Heavy metal co-resistance with antibiotics amongst bacteria isolates from an open dumpsite soil.

Heavy metal co-resistance with antibiotics appears to be synergistic in bacterial isolates via similar mechanisms. This synergy has the potential to amplify antibiotics resistance genes in the environment which can be transferred into clinical settings. The aim of this study was to assess the co-resistance of heavy metals with antibiotics in bacteria from dumpsite in addition to physicochemical analysis.
