The widespread use of malathion may offer several hazards to humans and animals; additionally, many medicinal plants provide what is known as a broad antitoxicity treatment. This study was carried out to investigate hazardous biochemical and histological reactions to MOP and evaluate the effectiveness of TEO and OEO essential oils in restoring normal physiological conditions after MOP exposure by measuring enzyme-specific activity for Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2). One hundred and twenty rats were divided into six groups of twenty animals each: (i) C - MOP served as the control group, (ii) C + MOP treated with 5 mg/kg/BW of Malathion-D10, (iii) TEO treated with 100 mg/kg/BW of oregano essential oil, (iv) TEO treated with 100 mg/kg/BW of thyme essential oil, (v) MOP + OEO treated with 5 mg/kg/BW of Malathion-D10 and 100 mg/kg/BW of oregano essential oil, and (vi) MOP + TEO treated with 5 mg/kg/BW of Malathion-D10 and 100 mg/kg/BW of thyme essential oil.

Impeding or reducing human amylin aggregation and/or its toxicity can be key to preventing pancreatic islet amyloidosis and β-cell loss in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Here, Punica granatum (pomegranate) peel, Sideritis raeseri (ironwort) and Aronia melanocarpa (chokeberry) leaf extracts, were tested for their novel anti-aggregative and antitoxic properties in human amylin (hIAPP) treated rat pancreatic insulinoma (INS) cells. The protein aggregation (Th-T) assay revealed an inhibitory trend of all three plant extracts against amylin aggregates.

Today, there is strong and diversified evidence that in humans at least 50% of early embryos do not proceed beyond the pre-implantation period. This evidence comes from clinical investigations, demography, epidemiology, embryology, immunology, and molecular biology. The purpose of this article is to highlight the steps leading to the establishment of pregnancy and placenta formation.
