Abstract Widely used malathion (MLT) causes environmental pollution, leading to toxicity in many living things, including humans. Rutin (RUT) is a flavonoid with various biological properties. In the present study, protective effects of rutin against liver and kidney caused by were investigated. MLT (100 mg/kg) RUT (50 or 100 administered rats alone combination for 28 days. Then, oxidative stress, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), apoptosis, autophagy markers tissues analyzed biochemical molecular methods. The results showed that both tissues, while antioxidant properties protected these from damage. Moreover, upregulated expressions ATF‐6, PERK, IRE1, GRP78, CHOP, ERS. However, alleviated ER suppressed markers. study also found increased inflammatory, apoptotic, autophagic All factors affected functions an increase plasma ALT, AST, urea, creatinine levels. On other hand, it has been observed may protect destructive effect showing anti‐inflammatory, anti‐apoptotic, anti‐autophagic Thus, was determined levels decreased after treatment. As result, had toxic on rats, this could be

Avermectin, a "low toxicity insecticide", has been widely used in recent years, but its non-target toxicity, especially to aquatic organisms, neglected. In this study, we evaluated the neurotoxic effects of avermectin on carp by establishing 96 h acute test, and possible mechanism was discussed. The LC50 found be 24.04 μg/L. Therefore, 3.005 μg/L 12.02 were as low-dose high-dose groups, respectively, investigate carp. results high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that accumulated brain.

Cadmium (Cd) is a potential pathogenic factor in the urinary system that associated with various kidney diseases. Microplastics (MPs), comprising of plastic particles less than 5 mm diameter, are major carrier contaminants. We applied 10 mg/L particle μm MPs and 50 CdCl2 water for three months vivo assay to assess damaging effects Cd exposure on kidney. In tests showed exacerbated Cd-induced injury. addition, involvement oxidative stress, autophagy, apoptosis, fibrosis mouse kidneys were investigated.

The ameliorative effects of hesperidin (HES) on the toxicities created by sodium fluoride (NaF) in testes tissue rats were studied via oxidative stress, apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways. animals divided into five distinct groups (7 each group). Group 1 was control group, group 2 received NaF-only (600 ppm), 3 HES-only (200 mg/kg bw); 4 NaF ppm)+HES (100 bw) 5 for 14 days. NaF-induced damage reducing activities superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels (GSH), increasing lipid peroxidation levels. treatment significantly downregulated mRNA SOD1, CAT GPx. supplementation caused upregulating p53, NFkB, caspase-3, caspase-6, caspase-9, Bax downregulating Bcl-2. Furthermore, ER transcript PERK, IRE1, ATF-6 GRP78. led to autophagy upregulation Beclin1, LC3A, LC3B AKT2. In tissue, however, co-treatment with HES at doses 100 200 reduced apoptosis, stress. Overall, findings this study suggest that may help reduce toxicity.
