Oxidative stress, bioelements and androgen status in testes of rats subacutely exposed to cadmium
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The objective of our study was to examine testicular toxicity of cadmium (Cd), focusing on oxidative stress (OS), essential metals and androgenic status and morphological changes. Male Wistar rats [controls and four ...
Risk characterization for mercury, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and polychlorinated biphenyls associated with fish consumption in Serbia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
The aim of this work was to assess the risk due to mercury (Hg), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (ndl PCBs) intake via fish consumption in Serbia. We have developed 24 ...
Manuka honey attenuates oxidative damage induced by H2O2 in human whole blood in vitro
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Manuka honey has been widely researched regarding its biological properties, in particular its antimicrobial and antioxidant capacities. We tested the genotoxic and genoprotective properties of Manuka honey, ranging from ...
Antibacterial activity of Veronica montana L. extract and of protocatechuic acid incorporated in a food system
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
This study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the Veronica montana L. water extract and its main phenolic compound, protocatechuic acid. The antibacterial activity was determined by microdilution assay ...
Comparative in vitro studies of the biological potential and chemical composition of stems, leaves and berries Aronia melanocarpa's extracts obtained by subcritical water extraction
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Preparation of functional products as well as natural-based products requires non-toxic but effective extraction techniques. In this study, subcritical water extraction was used for the extraction of different aronia parts ...
Dose-response modeling of reactivating potency of oximes K027 and K203 against a direct acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in rat erythrocytes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Inhibition of acethylcholinesterase (AChE) as a key molecular event induced by organophosphate (OP) pesticides and nerve agents presents a human health concern. In efficacy testing of experimental oximes, potential antidotes ...
Acute toxicity study in mice of orally administrated TiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with caffeic acid
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The acute toxicity of surface-modified TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with caffeic acid (CA) was compared with those of its separate constituents (free CA and bare TiO2 NPs) upon their oral administration in laboratory mice. ...
Insight into the oxidative stress induced by lead and/or cadmium in blood, liver and kidneys
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Besides being important occupational hazards, lead and cadmium are nowadays metals of great environmental concern. Both metals, without any physiological functions, can induce serious adverse health effects in various ...
