Recently, nano-manufactured materials have been used to treat many diseases, such as healing wounds and other modern biological applications. This study investigates the positive effect of Punica granatum seeds extract on kidney and testicular toxicities induced by iron oxide nanoparticles. Forty mice were randomly divided into four groups; the 1st group was the control group.

Article Synopsis
  • Curcumin, a key compound in turmeric, was studied for its effects on red tilapia broodstock by supplementing their diet with different forms of curcumin (free, blended, or nanoparticles) over 56 days.
  • Results showed that the nanoparticle curcumin (NCur) significantly improved blood health indicators and reproductive hormones, while also reducing liver enzyme levels.
  • Additionally, fish fed NCur showed enhanced reproductive performance and increased expression of important reproductive genes compared to other treatments, highlighting NCur's superiority as a dietary supplement.

A new series of acrylic acid and acrylate ester derivatives as modified analogs of tubulin polymerization inhibitors were designed and synthesized. The antiproliferative activity of the constructed molecules was investigated against MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells using CA-4 as positive molecule. Methyl acrylate ester 6e emerged as the most potent cytotoxic agent against MCF-7 cells, with an IC value of 2.

An evaluation of the ameliorative effect of pomegranate peel extract (PPE) in counteracting the toxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO-NPs) that cause hepatic tissue damage is focused on herein. Forty male albino mice were haphazardly grouped into four groups as follows: the first control group was orally gavage daily with physiological saline; the second group received 100 mg/kg of PPE by the oral route day after day; the third group received 30 mg/kg FeO-NPs orally; and the fourth group received both PPE and FeO-NPs by the oral route, the same as the second and third sets. Later, after the completion of the experiment, we collected the liver, blood, and bone marrow of bone specimens that were obtained for further laboratory tests.

In this study, we evaluated the inflammatory responses induced by aluminum silicate (AS) cytotoxicity in rat lungs. The prophylactic effect of propolis extract was evaluated in 60 adult male albino rats. The rats were divided into six groups: (1) a normal, healthy control group; (2) a normal group fed with 200 mL of propolis extract/Kg; (3) a low-dose positive control group injected with 5 mg/kg of AS; (4) a treated group given propolis and a low dose of AS; (5) a high-dose positive control group injected with 20 mg/kg of AS; and (6) a treated group given propolis with a high-dose of AS.
