Co-administration of Selenium Nanoparticles and Metformin Abrogate Testicular Oxidative Injury by Suppressing Redox Imbalance, Augmenting Sperm Quality and Nrf2 Protein Expression in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats.

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and metformin (Met) elicit individually protective effects against testicular oxidative injury in diabetic rats. However, the combined effects of both compounds have not been investigated. We investigated the effects of SeNPs and Met individual/co-treatment on testicular oxidative injury in diabetic rats.

Sub-acute nickel exposure impairs behavior, alters neuronal microarchitecture, and induces oxidative stress in rats' brain.

Nickel (Ni) is a heavy metal with wide industrial uses. Environmental and occupational exposures to Ni are potential risk factors for neurological symptoms in humans. The present study investigated the behavior and histomorphological alterations in brain of rats sub-acutely exposed to nickel chloride (NiCl) and the possible involvement of oxidative stress.
