Impact of leaf extract in reducing the effect of lead acetate toxicity in mice.

This study aimed to assess the impact of  () leaf extract against the poisoning of lead acetate; therefore, sixty mice were allocated into 4 groups with 15 in each, as G1) blank control, G2) supplied with 300 mg/kg body weight (BWT).  extract, G3) supplied with 60 mg/kg BWT of lead acetate [Pb(CHO)], and G4) supplied with extract of  + lead acetate. The liver enzymes were elevated post-treatment with Pb(CHO), which then lowered to almost the normal level when  was supplied to mice previously treated with Pb(CHO).

Disturbance in Some Fertility Biomarkers Induced and Changes in Testis Architecture by Chronic Exposure to Various Dosages of Each of Nonylphenol or Bisphenol A and Their Mix.

This investigation was conducted to demonstrate the potential impacts of different doses of Bisphenol A (BPA) or Nonylphenol (NP) and their mixtures on some biological activities in male albino rats. Seventy male albino rats were allocated to the control group (GI) and were given 1 mL of ethanol. G II and G III were given 100 mg/kg of each of BPA and NP, G IV and G V were given 25 mg/kg of each of BPA and NP, G VI was given a high dose of BPA and NP, and G VII was given a low dose of BPA and NP.

Olive Leaf Extract Attenuates Chlorpyrifos-Induced Neuro- and Reproductive Toxicity in Male Albino Rats.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a common organophosphorus insecticide. It is associated with negative consequences such as neurotoxicity and reproductive injury. This study aimed to observe the ability of olive leaf extract to attenuate chlorpyrifos toxicity, which induced neuro- and reproductive toxicity in male albino rats.

Heat stress in poultry with particular reference to the role of probiotics in its amelioration: An updated review.

Global climate change is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, and the consequences of global warming are expected to worsen. Many heat waves have recently hit various parts of the world, causing major losses in livestock, particularly in the poultry sector, resulting in massive mortalities and catastrophic economic losses. Therefore, the current review sheds light on the effects of heat stress on the poultry industry, and discusses the factors relevant to these harmful effects on behavior, bone development, blood chemistry and physiological changes, pathogenesis, and immune responses.

Formononetin Ameliorates Renal Dysfunction, Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis and Upregulates Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling in a Rat Model of Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity.

Gentamicin (GEN) is a bactericidal aminoglycoside known to cause nephrotoxicity. Formononetin (FN) is a potent flavonoid that exhibits numerous promising pharmacological activities. In this study, we have assessed the nephroprotective efficacy of FN against GEN-induced renal injury in rats.

Biosafety evaluation of two products on female albino rats using acute oral test.

Application of bio-pesticides in agriculture has been developed as alternative agents to conventional pesticides due to residues accumulating which causing detrimental effects to human and environment. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate biosafety of a bio-insecticide using two products in female rats by single oral dose through hepato- and renal toxicity, hematotoxicity and lipid profile. The two products from (AUMC 9896) were metabolic crude (MC), and wettable powder formulation (WP) of the local isolate.

Growth Performance, Antioxidant Activity, Immune Status, Meat Quality, Liver Fat Content, and Liver Histomorphology of Broiler Chickens Fed Rice Bran Oil.

This trial was performed to determine the effect of rice bran oil (RBO) inclusion in diets of broiler chickens on performance, carcass characteristics, blood parameters, meat quality, antioxidant activity, liver lipid content, and liver histological structure. The 35-day feeding trial was conducted on 240 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens, allocated to four treatment groups with six replicates each. RBO was examined at different inclusion levels, 0% (control), 1% (RBO), 1.
