Deficit in autophagy has been commonly associated with fibrosis and pneumonia. Recent research suggests that metformin may provide protection against a variety of lung ailments.

Group I was further subdivided into three groups: Group IA (control), Group IB: received a single high dose of 2000 mg/kg CuO-NPs, Group IC: received selenium (0.5 mg/kg), five days before giving a single high dose of CuO-NPs (2000 mg/kg). Thereafter, given selenium for 14 days. Group II was subdivided into three groups: Group IIA (control), Group IIB: received a small dose of 300 mg/kg of CuO-NPs for 28 days, Group IIC: received selenium (0.5 mg/kg), five days before starting concomitant administration of CuO-NPs (300 mg/kg) and Selenium (0.5 mg/kg) for 28 days. Damage of the ovarian ultrastructural features, increased MDA levels, and decreased serum estrogen and progesterone hormones levels were detected in group IB and group IIB. Group IC and group IIC showed improvement of ovarian ultrastructural, decreased MDA levels, and increased serum estrogen and progesterone hormones levels as compared to group IB and group IIB indicating that Selenium could decrease the damage induced by CuO-NPs in the adult rat ovaries.</p>","PeriodicalId":23430,"journal":{"name":"Ultrastructural Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"109-129"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142972311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
