The current study aimed to investigate the possible protective effect of dietary curcumin on hepatorenal aflatoxicosis in mice. Thirty-two male albino mice 18-20 g were divided into 4 groups. Group I, is the control group received basal diet. Group II, received a basal diet with 2% curcumin. Group III, given a basal diet with added AFs (5 µg/kg). Group IV, co-administered AFs and curcumin at the same previous doses. All treatments continued for 4 weeks. Liver and kidney weights, as well as food conversion ratio (FCR), were determined. The serum levels of Superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) were estimated. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin and creatinine were estimated. Histopathological examination to liver and kidney was performed. AFs significantly increased FCR and liver weight than control. The levels of SOD and TAC significantly reduced in-group III while MDA and IL-6 increased than control. The levels of AST, ALT and creatinine were significantly (P<0.05) increased in AFs group meanwhile albumin was significantly reduced than control. Hepatic and renal tissue showed congestion, lymphocytic infiltrations and other retrogressive changes. The co-administration of curcumin with AFs significantly ameliorated the AFs induced adverse effects. Curcumin possesses antioxidant effect that ameliorated aflatoxicosis adverse effects on the kidney and liver.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

Silymarin (Sm) as antioxidant could play an effective role in ameliorating the physiological damage of B. zonata cells that may be induced during raring the colony and/or irradiation treatment. Different Sm concentrations (0, 10, 30, 50, 80 and 100 mg/kg) were added to the larval diet to study its impact on the reproductive biology and fitness of B zonata. Also, the radio-protective activity of Sm was firstly tested through studying the quality control parameters of the adult flies irradiated with the sterilizing dose levels (0,70, 90, 100 and 110 Gy) that previously fed on Sm in larval stage. Secondary, the protective effect of Sm were evaluated through ultrastructure studies of the male testes. The results indicated that additives of 80 and 100 mg/kg Sm concentrations increased the pupal and adult recovery, they were significantly increased to (77.2 and 76.2%) and (69.7 and 68.2%), respectively as compared to (72.2%) and (63.3%) in the control treatment, respectively. The results also revealed that in 80 mg/kg Sm concentration, the percentages of hatched eggs were increased either alone or in combined with the different sterilizing doses. Moreover, the adult flight ability and emergence percentages were increased in the all combination treatments. The ultrastructure study showed an improvement of the testis irradiated with 90 Gy when combined with 80 mg/kg as compared to the radiation treatment alone.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

In the present context, our study aimed to examine under laboratory conditions the effect of host size on the biological parameters of parasitoids B. brevicornis for efficient laboratory rearing of that parasitoid. Under the no-choice situation, we compared biological parameters of this parasitoid wasp on four host species belonging to the Lepidoptera, viz. Pectinophora gossypiella (Gelechiidae) and Earias insulana (Noctuidae) as small size hosts, Helicoverpa armigera (Noctuidae)and Spodoptera littoralis (Noctuidae) as large size hosts. The biological parameters of the parasitoid on P. gossypiella or E. insulana (Small size) in most case proved to have a significant effect on their egg-adult developmental stages compare to its interaction vs. H. armegra or S. littoralis host (large size). The hosting on P. gossypiella or E. insulana the parasitoid produced excellent paralyzing and parasitism capacities but this capacity was less efficient on large size hosts and they received a significantly lower number of eggs as compared to H. armegra or S. littoralis which they received a good number of eggs. No variation was observed considering the egg-to-adult development time of B. brevincornis parasitizing P.gossypiella (small size) and S. littoralis (large size), but the lowest egg-to-adult development time was observed on H. armegra (large size). The biochemical analysis showed that the larger size hosts contained more resources for the growing the parasitoid, this was reflected only on fecundity. The other biological parameters: hatchability, longevity, lifetime and the percentage of hosts producing parasitoid offspring and sex ratio were not dependent on host size regardless of parasitoid generation. The results indicate that the parasite's behaviour of B.brevicornis can develop under no-choice situation equally successfully on both small and large size host.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.
