Safety Assessment and Hypoglycemic Effect of Moringa oleifera Lam. Seed Lectin (WSMoL) in Alloxan‐Induced Diabetic Mice

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Moringa oleifera Lam. seeds contain WSMoL, a lectin previously studied for toxicity and pharmacological effects. In this study, we investigated WSMoL (10, 25, or 50 mg/kg i.p.) for acute and 14‐day repeated‐dose toxicity, as well as genotoxicity, in Swiss mice.

Decreased iPLA2γ expression induces lipid peroxidation and cell death and sensitizes cells to oxidant-induced apoptosis*

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
Our previous studies showed that renal proximal tubular cells (RPTC) express Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2γ (iPLA2γ) in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria and that iPLA2γ prevents and/or repairs lipid peroxidation induced by oxidative stress.

Air Pollution Quinones Impair Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Differentiated Caco‐2 Cells

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...

Untreated Hair Dye Effluents Enter the Environment: Are They a Threat to Human Health?

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effluents generated during the process of hair dyeing exhibit a complex composition, comprising chemical compounds with varying toxicity levels. While the adverse impact of hair dyes on human health is acknowledged, there is a notable absence of studies addressing the toxicity associated with effluents produced during these activities. The

Factors Influencing the Movement of Livestock Guardian Dogs in the Edwards Plateau of Texas: Implications for Efficacy, Behavior, and Territoriality

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2019
Livestock guardian dog (Canis lupus familiaris; LGD) breeds of domestic dog worldwide provide a degree of control over predation losses. The application of LGDs as a wildlife damage management tool evolved as a cultural practice in the Old World.

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

The impact of cow dung augmentation on soil restoration and bio-accumulation of metals (Lead and Cadmium) in Pheretima posthuma (Annelida: Clitellata)

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
To investigate the role of cow dung in soil reclamation and bio assimilation along with bio accumulation of heavy metals in earthworm (P. posthuma) (N=900) earthworms were used and treatment groups of CD-soil mixture of different proportion of cow dung ...
