Article Synopsis
  • Oxidative stress arises when there's an imbalance between prooxidants and antioxidants, and celecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor, can cause oxidative harm to the liver despite its effectiveness in reducing pain and inflammation.
  • The study tested the hypothesis that lycopene, a natural antioxidant found in certain fruits and vegetables, could protect rat liver cells from damage caused by celecoxib, through a controlled experiment with three groups of rats receiving different treatments.
  • Results indicated that lycopene effectively reduced liver damage and prevented fat accumulation and glycogen depletion in rats treated with celecoxib, suggesting it may offer protective benefits against oxidative injury and related liver diseases.

Green synthesis is one of the promising pathways for biologically active nanoscale materials. Herein, an eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) was carried out using an extract of . The biological reduction and size of NPS were optimized by controlling the physicochemical parameters such as concentration, temperature, and pH.

The utilization of sugarcane bagasse (SB) in fermentation requires pretreatment processes to render fermentable components available to microorganisms. Pretreatment by using ionic liquids (ILs) is considered promising but the high cost is an impediment in its adoption, therefore, a mixture of IL pretreated and untreated SB was utilized to obtain bacterial multienzyme under solid-state fermentation (SSF). Bacillus aestuarii UE25, a thermophilic strain was utilized for that purpose.
