Green Synthesized Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using <i>Moringa olifera</i> Ethanolic Extract Lessens Acrylamide-Induced Testicular Damage, Apoptosis, and Steroidogenesis-Related Gene Dysregulation in Adult Rats

This study assessed the possible protective role of green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles using Moringa olifera leaf extract (MO-ZNPs) in acrylamide (ACR)-induced reproductive dysfunctions in male rats. ACR (20 mg/kg b.wt/day) and/or M...

Impact of <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> Bioremediation and Selenium on Genotoxicity, Nephrotoxicity and Oxidative/Antioxidant Imbalance Induced by Polystyrene Nanoplastics in African Catfish (<i>Clarias gariepinus</i>)

Contamination of the environment with nano- and microplastic particles exerts a threatening impact on the aquatic ecosystems and sustainable catfish aquaculture. The presence of nanoplastics has been found to have a detrimental impact on bo...

Herb-drug interactions of silybinin and cilofexor in beagle dogs based on pharmacokinetics by UPLC-MS/MS

Objective: A remarkably sensitive, accurate, and efficient ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) approach was developed as a facile and expeditious method for measuring cilofexor concentration in beag...

Evaluation of nutrients in bread: a systematic review

Abstract Background A balanced and optimized amount of nutrients in bread, which is the main food in many countries, is necessary to maintain human health. Considering the importance of nutritional values of bread in the food basket of Iran...

A sustainable supramolecular deep eutectic solvent system for dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction followed by HPLC for the determination of melamine in milk samples

This work presents the development and application of an innovative green supramolecular deep eutectic solvent (SUPRADES)-based DLLME approach for the extraction and quantification of melamine in milk matrices. For this purpose, thymol and ...

Case report: Incidentally discovered case of pheochromocytoma as a cause of long COVID-19 syndrome

Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are rare but potentially lethal tumors that arise from the adrenal medulla. The clinical suspicion and diagnosis of PCC can be challenging due to the non-specific nature of signs and symptoms. In many patients, infe...

Development and Comprehensive Diverse-Matrix Evaluation of Four PAHs Using Solvent-Modified QuEChERS-GC-MS with Freeze-Out

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are recognized carcinogens that enter the food chain through pre-existing environmental contamination (air, water, soil), and their formation and accumulation during food preparation and processing in...

Unraveling the formation mechanism of 3-methylindole from tryptophan in the glucose-mediated Maillard reaction: a combined ReaxFF MD, DFT, and experimental study

3-Methylindole is a concentration-dependent aroma compound, and its formation mechanism in the tryptophan-glucose Maillard reaction is crucial for flavor regulation but remains incompletely elucidated. Using gas chromatography-olfactometry-...

Effect of Nano-multi Micronutrients on Agronomic Traits, Nutrient Uptake and Soil Fertility in Pot Trial of Maize (Zea mays L.)
