Abstract
Introduction Metal oxide nanoparticles are currently used widely in many aspects of human and animal life with broad prospects for biomedical purposes. The present work was carried out to investigate the effects of orally administrated TiO2NPs, ZnONPs, IONs and Al2O3NPs on the mRNA expression level of CYP 1A1 and NBN in the rat liver. Materials and Methods Four groups of male Albino rats were given their respective treatment orally for 60 days in a dose of 1/20 of the LD50 TiO2NPs (600 mg/Kg b.wt/day), ZnONPs (340 mg/Kg b.wt/day), IONs (200 mg/kg b.wt/day) and Al2O3NPs (100 mg/Kg b.wt/day) and a fifth group served as a control group. Rresults The mRNA level of CYP 1A1 and NBN showed up-regulation in all the NPs-treated groups relative to the control group. ZnONPs group recorded the highest expression level while the TiO2NPs group showed the lowest expression level transcript. Conclusion:The toxic effects produced by these nanoparticles were more pronounced in the case of zinc oxide, followed by aluminum oxide, iron oxide nanoparticles and titanium dioxide, respectively.

Abstract
This study looked at the toxic impacts of water-born acrylamide (ACR) on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in terms of behaviors, growth, immune/antioxidant parameters and their regulating genes, biochemical indices, tissue architecture, and resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila. As well as the probable ameliorative effect of Chlorella vulgaris (CV) microalgae as a feed additive against ACR exposure was studied. The 96-h lethal concentration 50 of ACR was investigated and found to be 34.67 mg/L for O. niloticus. For the chronic exposure study, a total of 180 healthy O. niloticus (24.33 ± 0.03 g) were allocated into four groups in tri-replicates (15 fish/replicate), C (control) and ACR groups were fed a basal diet and exposed to 0 and 1/10 of 96-h LC50 of ACR (3.46 mg/L), respectively. ACR+ CV5 and ACR+ CV10 groups were fed basal diets with 5 % and 10 % CV supplements, respectively and exposed to 1/10 of 96-h LC50 of ACR for 60 days. After the exposure trial (60 days) the experimental groups were challenged with A. hydrophila. The findings demonstrated that ACR exposure induced growth retardation (P˂0.01) (lower final body weight, body weight gain, specific growth rate, feed intake, protein efficiency ratio, final body length, and condition factor as well as higher feed conversion ratio). A substantial decrease in the immune/antioxidant parameters (P˂0.05) (lysozyme, serum bactericidal activity %, superoxide dismutase, and reduced glutathione) and neurotransmitter (acetylcholine esterase) (P˂0.01) was noticed with ACR exposure. A substantial increase (P˂0.01) in the serum levels of hepato-renal indicators, lipid peroxidation biomarker, and cortisol was noticed as a result of ACR exposure. ACR exposure resulted in up-regulation (P˂0.05) of the pro-inflammatory cytokines and down-regulation (P˂0.05) of the antioxidant-related gene expression. Furthermore, the hepatic, renal, brain, and splenic tissues were badly affected by ACR exposure. ACR-exposed fish were more sensitive to A. hydrophila infection and recorded the lowest survival rate (P˂0.01). Feeding the ACR-exposed fish with CV diets significantly improved the growth and immune/antioxidant status, as well as modulating the hepatorenal functions, stress, and neurotransmitter level compared to the exposed-non fed fish. In addition, modulation of the pro-inflammatory and antioxidant-related gene expression was noticed by CV supplementation. Dietary CV improved the tissue architecture and increased the resistance to A. hydrophila challenge in the ACR-exposed fish. Noteworthy, the inclusion of 10 % CV produced better results than 5 %. Overall, CV diets could be added as a feed supplement in the O. niloticus diet to boost the fish's health, productivity, and resistance to A. hydrophila challenge during ACR exposure.

Abstract
Tea is the most common drink worldwide besides water. It is rich in antioxidant polyphenolic flavonoids. Further, it has anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and autoantigen-inhibitory properties. To evaluate the effects of oral administration of aqueous extract of green tea against experimental aflatoxicosis on the renal tissues of adult male albino rats. Twenty five adult male rats were included and they were divided equally into 5 groups: Group 1 (aflatoxin group): the rats received aflatoxins (2.5 mg/kg diet for 15 days), group 2 (aflatoxins and green tea aqueous extract group) for 15 days, group 3, the rats received aflatoxins for 15 days and aqueous extract of the green tea for 30 days, group 4 (green tea aqueous extract group) and group 5(control negative group). Detailed non-traditional histological and morphometrical analyses for renal tissues stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin, Masson's trichrome stain, Periodic Acid Schiff’s (PAS), Alizarin red S stains and immunohistochemical detection of Ki-67 were done. The main observed renal lesions in rats received aflatoxins were dilatation of the renal pelvis, increases in glomerular areas (GA), widening of Bowman's spaces and necrosis of the renal lining epithelium and proliferation of fibrous connective tissues. Morphometric analysis revealed the presence of significant difference between group I and the other experimental groups. Meanwhile, groups 2 and 3 revealed a significant improvement in the histological changes and decrease in most of parameters. The highest percentage of PAS positive reaction was significantly found in group 4. Quantitative analysis of positive reactions of Ki-67 revealed the highest positive immunohistochemical reactions were detected in group 1 which significantly different in groups 4 and 5. In conclusion, green tea has a protective effect against the adverse effects of aflatoxins on renal tissues evidenced by improvement of histopathological alterations and regulation of Ki-67 expressions.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the protective effects of co-administration of Quercetin (QT) or l-Carnitine (LC) against the oxidative stress induced by Atrazine (ATZ) in the reproductive system of intact male Albino rats. 36 rats were divided equally into 6 groups. Rats in the control negative "CNT" group received 1.5 ml distilled water for 21 days. All rats in the other groups received ATZ (120 mg/kg bw) through gavage. Groups 3 and 4 were co-administered with either low or high dose of QT (10 "ATZLQT" and 50 "ATZHQT" mg/kg bw, respectively). Groups 5 and 6 were co-administered with either low or high dose of LC (200 "ATZLLC" and 400 "ATZHLC" mg/kg bw, respectively). At the end of the experiment, animals were sacrificed and all samples were collected. ATZ significantly increased serum level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreased total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Also, ATZ increased significantly the sperm cell abnormalities and reduced both testicular IgA and serum testosterone levels. Testicular DNA laddering % and CYP17A1 mRNA expression were significantly reduced in ATZ group. Interestingly, co-administration with low dose QT or different doses of LC succeeded to counteract the negative toxic effects of ATZ on serum oxidative stress indicators, serum testosterone levels, testicular IgA level and improved testicular CYP17A1 mRNA expression. In conclusion, QT in low dose and LC in both low and high doses exerted a significant protective action against the reproductive toxicity of ATZ, while higher dose of QT failed induce immune-stimulant effect against ATZ in adult male Albino rats.

Abstract
Central nervous system cytotoxicity is linked to neurodegenerative disorders. The objective of the study was to investigate whether monosodium glutamate (MSG) neurotoxicity can be reversed by natural products, such as ginger or propolis, in male rats. Four different groups of Wistar rats were utilized in the study. Group A served as a normal control, whereas group B was orally administered with MSG (100 mg/kg body weight, via oral gavage). Two additional groups, C and D, were given MSG as group B along with oral dose (500 mg/kg body weight) of either ginger or propolis (600 mg/kg body weight) once a day for two months. At the end, the rats were sacrificed, and the brain tissue was excised and levels of neurotransmitters, ß-amyloid, and DNA oxidative marker 8-OHdG were estimated in the brain homogenates. Further, formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded brain sections were used for histopathological evaluation. The results showed that MSG increased lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide, neurotransmitters, and 8-OHdG as well as registered an accumulation of ß-amyloid peptides compared to normal control rats. Moreover, significant depletions of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase as well as histopathological alterations in the brain tissue of MSG-treated rats were noticed in comparison with the normal control. In contrast, treatment with ginger greatly attenuated the neurotoxic effects of MSG through suppression of 8-OHdG and β-amyloid accumulation as well as alteration of neurotransmitter levels. Further improvements were also noticed based on histological alterations and reduction of neurodegeneration in the brain tissue. A modest inhibition of the neurodegenerative markers was observed by propolis. The study clearly indicates a neuroprotective effect of ginger and propolis against MSG-induced neurodegenerative disorders and these beneficial effects could be attributed to the polyphenolic compounds present in these natural products.
