Royal Jelly and Mitigate Gibberellic Acid-Induced Cytogenotoxicity and Hepatotoxicity in Rats via Modulation of the PPARα/AP-1 Signaling Pathway and Suppression of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation.

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is a well-known plant growth regulator used in several countries, but its widespread use has negative effects on both animal and human health. The current study assesses the protective effect of royal jelly (RJ) and (CV) on the genotoxicity and hepatic injury induced by GA3 in rats. Daily oral administration of 55 mg/kg GA3 to rats for 6 constitutive weeks induced biochemical and histopathological changes in the liver via oxidative stress and inflammation.

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Vitamin C Ameliorate Atrazine-Induced Hepatic Apoptosis in Rat via CYP450s/ROS Pathway and Immunomodulation.

Atrazine, as an herbicide, is used widely worldwide. Because of its prolonged persistence in the environment and accumulation in the body, atrazine exposure is a potential threat to human health. The present study evaluated the possible protective effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles and vitamin C against atrazine-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

Effect of chitosan-gelatin coating fortified with papaya leaves and thyme extract on quality and shelf life of chicken breast fillet and Kareish cheese during chilled storage.

A novel antimicrobial chitosan-gelatin based edible coating fortified with papaya leaves and thyme extract was prepared for improving the quality and shelf-life of chicken breast fillet and Kareish cheese during chilled storage at 4 ± 1 °C. The samples were dipped for 10 min in distilled water (control), chitosan-gelatin (CG), chitosan-gelatin +2% papaya leaves extract (CG + P) and chitosan-gelatin +2% thyme extract (CG + Th). The coated and uncoated samples were examined periodically for sensory attributes, pH, TBARs, total aerobic mesophilic (TAM), total Enterobacteriaceae (TE), and total yeasts and molds counts (TYM).
