In this paper, the effect of the structural properties and morphology of iron oxide product, have been studied in co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods. Also, the effect of adding CCl4 impurities and final annealing of the materials is taken into account. The more homogeneous particle size in hydrothermal method has been explained by the effect of adding CCl4 as impurities to prevent the co...

Possible differences in the mechanisms of increased alpha1-fetoprotein (AFP) production following carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intoxication and partial hepatectomy were studied with 5-week-old rats at the time of sacrifice. The maximum level of serum AFP reached in 4 days after a single dose of CCl4 was much higher than that after partial hepatectomy, although the incorporation of [3H]thymidine ...

A number of textile industries are using different types dyes which can be a threat to the environment when they directly exposed without any treatment. The advanced oxidation process (AOP) has become one popular methods in dye molecules degraded microwave irradiation. This method due its eco-friendly and cost-efficient characteristics. In this article, author reported degradation two azo dyes,...

BACKGROUND Rumex hastatus leaves have been widely used as food additive and for the treatment of various liver ailments. According to our previous studies, ethyle acetate (ERL) and methanolic (MRL) fractions of R. hastatus leaves are an accessible source of natural antioxidants. In the present research work we arranged to investigate the R. hastatus leaves as hepaptoprotective agent verse hepat...

BACKGROUND Many studies have examined the association between ambient temperature and mortality. However, less evidence is available on the temperature effects on gender- and age-specific emergency department visits, especially in developing countries. In this study, we examined the short-term effects of daily ambient temperature on emergency department visits (ED visits) in Shanghai. METHODS...

It is widely recognized that exposure to combinations or mixtures of chemicals may result in highly exaggerated toxicity even though individual chemicals might not be toxic at low doses. Chemical mixtures may also cause additive or less than additive toxicity. From the perspective of public health, highly exaggerated toxicity is of significant concern. Assessment of risk from exposure to chemic...

The brief presentation of an emotional distractor can temporarily impair perception of a subsequent, rapidly presented target, an effect known as emotion-induced blindness (EIB). How rapidly does this impairment unfold? To probe this question, we examined EIB for targets that immediately succeeded ("lag-1") emotional distractors in a rapid stream of items relative to EIB for targets at later se...

A toxic organic substance CCl4 is a well known model compound for studying detoxification function of the liver and developing oxidative stress. The goal study was to estimate effect L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administration on rat blood parameters upon effects CCl4. Experimental male Wistar rats were injected intraperitoneally with CCl4, CCl4/L‑Glu group additionally L-Glu ...

Fruit of Carissa opaca Stapf ex Haines (C. opaca) is a feed additive and commonly used against cardiac dysfunction, fever, asthma, diarrhea, gastrointestinal ailments, skin diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the metabolic profile antioxidant potential C. fruit carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced cardiotoxicity testicular toxicity in rats. Gas Chromatoghraphy-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)...

Steviol glycosides are sweetening compounds from the Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant. This product is considered safe for human consumption and was approved as a food additive by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Its effects on the ecosystem have not been studied in depth; therefore, it is necessary to carry out ecotoxicological studies in organi...
