Daily exposure to fuel vapour may pose significant health risk to exposed individuals. Fifteen each of male and female albino rats weighing between 110-230g were divided into test (10) and control (5) groups each. The test animals; were exposed to inhalation gasoline for one hour daily for twenty-one consecutive days. All animals were then bled and the serum levels of the reproductive hormones determined. The results showed significant [P < 0.05] reduction in the serum levels of all the hormones of reproduction in both the male and female test animals. The results suggest that inhalation gasoline exposure significantly [P < 0.05] lowers the levels of reproductive hormones in albino rats and may thus interfere with reproduction.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the role of gallic acid treatment on spinal cord tissues after spinal cord injury (SCI) and its relationship with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by histochemical, immunohistochemical, and in-silico techniques.
Methods: Thirty female Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups: sham, SCI, and SCI+gallic acid. SCI was induced by dropping a 15-g weight onto the exposed T10-T11 spinal cord segment.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful antineoplastic FDA-approved anthracycline-derived antibiotic and is considered as the most suitable intervention for solid tumors and hematological cancers therapy. However, its therapeutic application is highly limited due to acute and chronic renal, hematological and testicular toxicity. Oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and apoptosis in germ cells as well as low sperm count, motility and disturbing steroidogenesis are the principal machineries of DOX-induced testicular toxicity.

The damaging effects of heavy metal exposure on vital organs like the heart, liver, kidneys, and brain can be lowered by natural compounds' anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant capacity. In the current investigation, the protective potential of savory()essential oil (EO) against lead acetate-induced multi-organ damage in rats was evaluated. Thirty female Wister Albino rats were divided into the following groups: normal, positive control given lead acetate without concomitant treatment, reference given ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid and groups treated with savory EO (0.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of subconjunctival injection of dexpanthenol on corneal neovascularization and inflammation in rats with induced chemical burns.
Methods: This experimental study included 40 female albino Wistar rats. Chemical burns were induced in the right eye of all rats on the first day, and the left eye was used as a control.
Role of Seed Therapy on Estrous and Non-Estrous Cycle in Healthy Female Rats.

January 2025
Seed cycling therapy (SCT) involves the consumption of specific seeds during the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle to help balance reproductive hormones. This study aimed to investigate the effects of SCT on healthy female Wistar albino rats to prevent hormonal imbalances. For SCT, a seed mixture (SM1) consisting of flax, pumpkin, and soybeans (estrogenic seeds) was administered at doses of 5.
