Chlorpromazine (CPZ) is one of the most effective antipsychotic drugs used for managing psychotic related disorders owing to its dopamine receptor blocking action. However, pharmacological investigations against CPZ's cytotoxic effect have remained scarce. Hence, this study investigated the preventive and reversal effects of taurine and coenzyme-Q10 (COQ-10), which are compounds with proven natural antioxidant properties, against CPZ-induced hematological impairments in male rats.

Purpose: Derangements of liver transcriptional factors and enzymes have important implications in diabetes-induced related complications. Hence, this study which consists of two experimental phases was aimed at evaluating the possible underlying molecular mechanisms of intermittent fasting (IF), exercise starvation and honey in streptozotocin (STZ)-mediated liver damage in diabetic rats.

Methods: The diabetic rats were treated orally with distilled water (0.
