It was shown that a single administration of homogeneous and heterogeneous ceruloplasmin in different doses 1 h before or after irradiation ( LD40 and LD100) increased the survival rate of rats. Ceruloplasmin improved some indices of peripheral blood and bone marrow at early stages of radiation affection. A higher ceruloplasmin activity was observed in blood serum of irradiated animals.

Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, resulting in copper accumulation. Symptoms rarely appear before the age of 5, almost never before 3. The phenotypic variability of WD suggests the presence of modifying factors, making early diagnosis challenging.

Copper, one of the most prolific transition metals in the body, is required for normal brain physiological activity and allows various functions to work normally through its range of concentrations. Copper homeostasis is meticulously maintained through a complex network of copper-dependent proteins, including copper transporters (CTR1 and CTR2), the two copper ion transporters the Cu -transporting ATPase 1 (ATP7A) and Cu-transporting beta (ATP7B), and the three copper chaperones ATOX1, CCS, and COX17. Disruptions in copper homeostasis can lead to either the deficiency or accumulation of copper in brain tissue.

Atrazine (ATR), one of the most prevalent herbicides used worldwide, has been associated with various environmental health concerns, including its potential role in promoting neurodegenerative diseases. Considering the pivotal role of metal homeostasis in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders, this study investigated the neuroprotective effects of copper supplementation in mitigating the adverse impacts of ATR in Parkinson's disease (PD). Our results reveal that ATR exposure disrupts copper and iron homeostasis within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), leading to enhanced oxidative stress and dopaminergic neuronal degeneration, which are key features of PD pathology.

Article Synopsis
- * High loading densities (>200 kg/m), especially for stallions, led to increased blood metabolite levels and more severe carcass bruises compared to horses transported at lower densities (≤200 kg/m).
- * Stallions showed poorer meat quality with higher pH levels and more defects, while geldings were less affected, highlighting the need for further research on optimal transport densities for horse welfare.

6-Shogaol is a comparatively innovative anti-Parkinson's remedy with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics. This investigation intended to determine the role of 6-shogaol in the Parkinson's disease (PD) paradigm in rotenone-induced rats. Thirty male Wistar rats (10-12 weeks old; 180 ± 20 g) were divided into five groups.
