Association of Atrazine-Induced Overexpression of Aldo-Keto-Reductase 1C2 (AKR1C2) with Hypoandrogenism and Infertility: An Experimental Study in Male Wistar Rat.

Atrazine (ATZ, CHClN) is a widely used synthetic herbicide that contaminates drinking water. It is a known endocrine disruptor that disrupts various molecular pathways involved in hormone signaling, and DNA damage, and can cause reproductive disorders, including decreased fertility, and abnormal development of reproductive organs, as revealed in animal model studies. However, the effect of ATZ on steroidogenesis in the male reproductive system, especially reduction of ketosteroids to hydroxysteroids, remains unclear.

Carbon-based nanomaterial intervention and efficient removal of various contaminants from effluents - A review.

Water treatment is a worldwide issue. This review aims to present current problems and future challenges in water treatments with the existing methodologies. Carbon nanotube production, characterization, and prospective uses have been the subject of considerable and rigorous research around the world.

Green synthesis, characterization and biological activity of -mediated silver nanoparticles.

Biologically inspired synthesis of nanoparticles was found to be more attractive in metal nanoparticle synthesis. The present study reported an biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous leaf extract. On this basis, the aqueous leaf extract of acted as a reducing agent and stabilizing agent to synthesize highly stable AgNPs at ambient temperature.

Comparative study of the ditrophic interaction between .

In the present investigation, hyperparasitic interaction between TM (MH590235) and was studied through scanning electron microscopy and chromatographic techniques. Dose-mortality responses showed an increase in mortality of larva with an increase in spore concentration. The LC value for isolate TM (MH590235) was 2.

Down-regulation of hepatic G-6-Pase expression in hyperglycemic rats: Intervention with biogenic gold nanoconjugate.

Chronic diabetes extensively complicates the glucose metabolism to onset and progress the complication. Concurrently, several contemporary medicines, especially organo-metallic formulations, are emerging to treat hyperglycemia. The current study aims to emphasize the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) potential for glucose metabolism regulation in Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetes.
