The present investigation aimed to determine the hematological and biochemical safety profile of concurrently administered ciprofloxacin and roxithromycin through the oral route in poultry. This study involved a total of sixteen birds, which were divided into two equal but random groups of broiler chickens. In the first group, roxithromycin alone was administered orally for five days. Conversely, the Group II birds received repeated concurrent doses of roxithromycin and ciprofloxacin for consecutive five days adhering to their recommended therapeutic dosages. In both groups, blood samples were collected at various intervals, including before drug administration (0 days), and at 6 hours, 12 hours, 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, 7th day, and 10th day. Following haematological and biochemical analyses, a two-way statistical analysis (p ≤ 0.05) was conducted utilizing unpaired ‘t-tests’ to compare parameters within the group across various time points and between Groups I and II. The analysis revealed statistically significant differences in haematological parameters such as heterophils, lymphocytes and monocytes, along with one biochemical parameter, specifically aspartate transaminase. Notably, the altered values primarily remained within the normal range and were often attributed to age-related changes, with certain fluctuations being of a temporary nature and reverting to normal levels by the 10th Day. The study findings support the conclusion that the concurrent oral administration of roxithromycin and ciprofloxacin appears to be safe for therapeutic use in poultry.","PeriodicalId":510028,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology International","volume":" 47","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140997168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A recovery study was also conducted in the highest dose group for which half the animals of the group were left untreated for the next 60 days. Exposure to molybdenum induced a significant decline in superoxide dismutase, ascorbic acid and glutathione while lipid peroxidation revealed a significant increase in epididymis in dose-dependent manner. Significant reduction in epididymal epithelial cells height, short sterocilia, increased intertubular stroma, decreased epididymal sperm reserve in the lumen and reduction in the diameter of cauda epididymal tubules with a relatively large amount of intertubular stroma was observed in epididymis of mice treated with molybdenum which might be correlated with enhanced oxidative stress.

In addition, in vitro, anti-oxidant studies were carried out to determine the percentage of inhibition of HAETI on oxidative stress parameters. After the assigned treatment to the group of animals with HAETI showed normalized hematological parameters, the bronchodilatation effect was confirmed by a significant (p<0.001) increase in the latency time of Pre Convulsion Dyspnoea (PCD) and pre-treatment with HAETI in mast cell degranulation study showed significant (p<0.001) reduction in degranulation of mesenteric mast cell number. The histopathological analysis of lung sections showed a reduction of total histological score in HAETI-treated guinea pigs compared with the disease control group (p< 0.0001). Based on IC50 values from in vitro assays, the free radical scavenging property of HAETI was confirmed due to the presence of active phytoconstituents.

Its drupe is widely used in Ayurvedic formulations after sodhana processing as it is listed under Schedule E1 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940. In this study, sodhita Semecarpus anacardium L. drupe was extracted with n-hexane and the yield was found to be 56%. The extract was subjected to GCMS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry) analysis and its characteristics were studied using an in silico tool. Acute oral and dermal toxicity studies were performed on the Wistar albino rats as per the OECD 425 and 402 guidelines respectively. The GCMS data revealed the presence of C13H18O3 (m/z: 222.1) with an abundance of 93.63%. The compound was predicted as potentially hazardous with a probable mutagenic category of ICH M7 class 3. An oxirane functional group of the compound was predicted to cause potent irritation properties to the eyes and skin with positive scores of 0.76 and 0.57 respectively. The LD50 was found to be more than the limit dose of 2000mg/kg body weight upon oral administration. Acute dermal exposure at a limited dose of 2000mg/kg body weight did not cause mortality. However, inflammatory responses started appearing within 48 hours of exposure. Histopathology revealed mild dermal oedema, mild fibrosis, dilated follicles hyperplasia etc. No changes were found in haematological parameters. Inflammation and dermal allergic reactions were completely self-healed by the end of 14 days. The results suggest that the oil portion of the sodhita drupe possesses the irritant properties of the Semecarpus anacardium. It might be due to the presence of the compound C13H18O3 with Oxirane as a functional group.","PeriodicalId":510028,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology International","volume":"72 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140420343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High level As exposure is associated with several chronic diseases including adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. However, very a lack of information on its ability to impair neurodevelopment at lower exposure. To date, there are very few animal studies during the perinatal period of As exposure. Although exposure to As induces developmental neurotoxicity, there is a lack of data regarding its specific effects on amino acid neurotransmitters and bioenergetics biomolecules in the hippocampus of developing rats exposed to As during the perinatal period (GD6-PD21). In continuation of previous studies, rats were exposed to As from gestational day (GD 6) through PD 21 with targeted doses of 0, 2.0, and 4.0 mg/kg/day, respectively. HPLC-UV method was used to estimate the level of amino acid neurotransmitters (aspartate, glutamate, homocysteine, glutamine, serine, and glycine) and the level of Adenosine 5’-Triphosphate (ATP), Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP), Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP), Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH) in the hippocampus of rats after the exposure of As. Amino acid neurotransmitter levels, a predictive biomarker of As-induced developmental neurotoxicity were found to be altered. ATP, ADP, and AMP were also significantly impaired in the hippocampus of As-exposed rats. We have observed that the hippocampus is susceptible to As toxicity, both because of the high energy depletion and the alterations in the levels of selected amino acid neurotransmitters.

These dyes hold the distinction of being the second and third most frequently utilized colour additives in a wide array of beverage products. The discharge of these synthetic food dyes into industrial wastewater can lead to significant environmental and health issues. Due to its aromatic structure, this dye is resistant to breaking down into harmless compounds, and its removal through effective adsorption presents an economical and efficient solution. The use of renewable bioresources for the eco-friendly production of metallic nanoparticles represents a recent and growing trend in nanotechnology research, offering enhanced environmental safety. In this current research, we achieved the green and cost-effective synthesis of monodispersed Iron Nanoparticles (FeNPs) with exceptional stability by utilizing an aqueous extract of Kigelia africana (Lam.) Benth is the primary bioresource for this synthesis. The FeNPs were noticed to be uniformly distributed spherical-shaped particles having smooth surfaces with a 26-34 nm size range and an average particle size of 28 ± 0.86 nm. The XRD results confirm that the FeNPs were rhombohedral phase structures with 71.43% of elemental iron. These synthesized nanoparticles were applied for the removal of sunset yellow and tartrazine dyes were investigated and more than 90% were removed. The adsorption isotherm study was best fitted with the Langmuir model, and the maximal adsorption capacity was found to be 76.29 and 47.22 mg/g for sunset yellow and tartrazine respectively. The adsorption reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics with a high correlation coefficient. Repeated cycles of regeneration, reuse and stability showed very high removal efficiency and stability.

Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are a major global health concern, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. A. lebbeck, a medicinal plant with documented pharmacological activities, has not been scientifically studied for its cardioprotective properties. The research utilised a rat model of ISO-induced myocardial infarction, a well-established experimental approach to study preventive effects on myocardial damage. The study included the isolation and preparation of A. lebbeck ethanol leaf extract (MEAL) and its administration at different doses (200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg) to ISO-treated rats. Various parameters, including relative organ weight, cardiac biomarkers (cTnI, LDH, CK-MB), total proteins, oxidative stress markers (SOD, MDA), and histopathological changes, were assessed. The results revealed that ISO administration induced cardiac hypertrophy, increased serum biomarkers, and oxidative stress, indicating myocardial damage. Treatment with MEAL, especially at the higher dose (400 mg/kg), significantly mitigated these effects. MEAL administration reduced the heart-to-body weight ratio, normalised serum biomarkers, restored endogenous antioxidant enzyme levels, and showed a protective effect against structural damage in histopathological examination. In conclusion, A. lebbeck ethanol leaf extract demonstrated significant cardioprotective effects against ISO-induced myocardial infarction in rats. These findings suggest the potential of A. lebbeck as a natural therapeutic agent for preventing or ameliorating cardiac damage associated with stress-induced conditions. Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying its cardioprotective properties and explore its potential clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":510028,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology International","volume":"544 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140417256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
