Butenyl isothiocyanate (BylITC), the hydrolysis product of the glucosinolate gluconapin, present in various cruciferous vegetables and in rapeseed, was administered in oral doses of 0, 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg to pregnant rats on day 12 to 19 of gestation. Maternal toxicity was indicated by reduced body weight gain and increases in the weights of liver and kidneys. BylITC doses of 100 and 150 mg/kg caused retardation of fetal growth and ossification.

Background: Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound derived from the food spice turmeric that has received interest from the medical and scientific world for its role in the management of several conditions. Clinical studies, in humans, have shown that ingested Curcumin is safe even at high doses (12 g/day), but it has poor bioavailability primarily due to poor absorption and rapid metabolism and elimination. Several strategies have been implemented to improve the bioavailability of Curcumin, for example, the combination of piperine in a complex with Curcumin, or the usage of formulations with phospholipid or liposomal complexes.

This study is aimed at evaluating the neurotoxic effects of chronic exposure of sodium fluoride (NaF) in developmental stages in rat using prenatal models. NaF (100 ppm, orally) dosing via drinking water was given to pregnant rats in disease group. In the treatment groups, Metformin & Dehydrozingerone (DHZ) (200 mg/kg) were administered orally along with NaF, and the dosing was continued throughout the gestation and lactation periods to the pups until the end of experiment.
