Unlabelled: The present study examined the anti-inflammatory and functional improvement of the uterus and ovary, respectively, in bisphenol-A (BPA)-fed adult Wistar rats following the ingestion of methanolic extract of wheatgrass (WG-ME). Four groups of rats were conditioned as vehicle-treated control, BPA-treated (100 mg/kg b.w.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the potential of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) from endophytic fungi to counteract health issues caused by arsenic (As(III)), focusing on their effects on metabolic and reproductive problems.
  • - Two fungi (Diaporthe arengae and Fusarium proliferatum) were used to extract EPSs, which demonstrated abilities like reducing oxidative stress, correcting hormonal imbalances, and influencing apoptosis-related markers after exposure to arsenic.
  • - The research suggested that the components of the EPSs might interact with androgen receptors, limiting their activity and highlighting EPSs as promising candidates for new treatments targeting arsenic toxicity.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder in women that necessitates effective and safe treatment alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Vitex negundo seed in a letrozole-induced PCOS rat model.

Results: Findings of the present study demonstrated that administration of hydro-ethanolic extract of Vitex negundo (VNE) effectively restored endocrino-metabolic imbalances associated with PCOS, along with correction of antioxidant enzymes level, proinflammatory cytokines, and apoptotic bio-markers.

The adverse effects of arsenic-chelating drugs make it essential to replace invasive chelating therapy with non-invasive oral therapy for arsenic poisoning. The goal of the current investigation was to determine whether the uterine damage caused by arsenization could be repaired by the n-butanol fraction of Moringa oleifera seed (NB). The rats were orally administered with arsenic (10 mg/kg BW) for the initial 8 days, followed by NB (50 mg/kg) for the next 8 days without arsenic.
