Ameliorating Effects of Vitamin E and Selenium on Immunological Alterations Induced by Imidacloprid Chronic Toxicity in Chickens

The effects of supplementation of selenium at a dose of 10 microg/ kg body weight were investigated on ethanol induced testicular toxicity in rats. In the present study, four groups of male albino rats were maintained for 60 days, as follows: (1) Control group (normal diet) (2) Ethanol group (4g/kg body weight) (3) Selenium (10 microg/kg body weight) (4) Ethanol + Selenium (4g/kg body weight + ...

approved: Florian L. Cerklewski Two factorial experiments were conducted to determine if high dietary fluoride would inhibit selenite toxicity in rats. In each study, two levels of selenite (0.05 and 5 mg/kg diet) were matched against two levels of fluoride (1 and 150 mg/kg diet) for either 6 or 8 weeks. Fluoride failed to prevent the depressive effect of selenite on food intake and body weight...

Selenium is a micronutrient needed by all living organisms including humans, but often present in low concentration in food with possible deficiency. From another side, at higher concentrations in soils as observed in seleniferous regions of the world, and in function of its chemical species, Se can also induce (eco)toxicity. Root Se uptake was therefore studied in function of its initial form ...

Following the discovery of selenium in numerous plants grown in certain areas of the north-central Great Plains and its identification as the cause of so-called alkali disease of livestock in those areas, a number of experiments have been undertaken to test its toxicity. Most of this work was designed to study the effect of continued feeding of small doses of selenium in various forms to small ...

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with a bright red colour have aroused worldwide attention due to their unique properties in selenium supplementation because of low toxicity and favourable bioavailability. A simple method was developed for making nanolayer on the inner surface Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) silicone tube. The were produced by reaction sodium selenite ascorbic acid. Red amorphous been s...

Selenium deficiency is a common nutritional disorder in dairy cattle globally. However, selenium supplementation can lead to toxicity. This study evaluated novel, low-toxicity supplement, selenitetriglycerides, determine its efficacy and safety cows. The was conducted on 12 Holstein Friesian cows divided two equal groups (control group without of experimental with selenitetriglycerides). Experi...

Heavy metals (HMs) contamination is one of the main abiotic factors affecting crop productivity and also threatens human health via consuming metal-contaminated crops as a food source. Over past few years, HMs have drawn lot attention due to their increased use for commercial purposes harmful effects on plants other life forms, thus threatening survival. However, several methods been adopted in...
