Dietary deacetylated chitin nanoparticles confer protection against diazinon toxicity in male African catfish: evaluation of immune-biochemical, antioxidant, and reproductive profiles.

Currently, deacetylated chitin (chitosan) nanoparticles (CNPs) are successfully utilized in aquaculture practices. This trial demonstrates the efficacy of CNPs in combating diazinon (DZN) toxicity in African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, via monitoring hepato-renal function, serum immune trait, hormonal function, and hepato-renal antioxidant activity. Four groups were allocated as follows: a control group, a CNPs group (0.

Physiological, biochemical, apoptosis-linked gene expression, and histopathological insights in Nile catfish subjected to toxicity by magnetite nanogel.

The target of this novel work is to assess the immunosuppression, genotoxicity, histopathological alterations, and cumulative mortality induced by acute toxicity of magnetite nanogel (MNG) in Nile catfish. Furthermore, a subsequent 10-day depuration period is adopted to estimate the restoration of those disturbed indices. Nile catfish (n = 180) were allotted into four groups and exposed to different concentrations of MNG (0, 1/10, 1/8, and 1/5 96-h LC).

Phase 1 Study of Quercetin, a Natural Antioxidant in Children and Young Adults with Fanconi Anemia (FA).

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by progressive bone marrow failure (BMF) and a predisposition to malignancy. Systemic reactive-oxygen species (ROS) and increased sensitivity of FA hematopoietic progenitors to ROS play a key role in the pathogenesis of BMF. Treatment with antioxidants improve hematopoietic function in Fancc-/- mice.

Oxidative Stress Early After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant.

Background: HSCT conditioning regimens cause massive lysis of hematopoietic cells with release of toxic intracellular molecules into the circulation.

Objectives: To describe the response to oxidative stress early after hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and assess the association of early oxidative stress with later transplant outcomes.

Study Design: Key components of in the body's physiological response to oxidative stress were studied in a cohort of 122 consecutive pediatric allogeneic HSCT recipients.

Cryptic coral diversity is associated with symbioses, physiology, and response to thermal challenge.

Coral persistence in the Anthropocene depends on interactions among holobiont partners (coral animals and microbial symbionts) and their environment. Cryptic coral lineages-genetically distinct yet morphologically similar groups-are critically important as they often exhibit functional diversity relevant to thermal tolerance. In addition, environmental parameters such as thermal variability may promote tolerance, but how variability interacts with holobiont partners to shape responses to thermal challenge remains unclear.
