Abstract:
... Food nutrients and bioactive compounds have been widely explored due to the increased prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases. Antioxidant supplementation might be a crucial non-pharmacological strategy against oxidative stress. However, although some assays evaluate the antioxidant potential of a particular food or food compound, in vivo responses related to oxidative stress in the body m ...

Abstract:
... Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising new materials that have been intensively studied and possibly applied to various environmental remediation. However, little is known about the fate and risk of MOFs to living organisms in the water environment. Here, the toxic effects of ZIF-8 nanoparticles (NPs) on benthic organisms were confirmed by sub-chronic toxicity experiments (7 and 14 days) us ...

Abstract:
... Inflammation is a major adverse outcome induced by inhaled particulate matter with a diameter of ≤ 2.5 µm (PM₂.₅), and a critical trigger of most PM₂.₅ exposure-associated diseases. However, the key molecular events regulating the PM₂.₅-induced airway inflammation are yet to be elucidated. Considering the critical role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in regulating inflammation, we predicted 11 circRNA ...

Abstract:
... Nanoplastics (NPs) have become an emerging global environmental problem, and the toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) in rice plants has received widespread attention. However, few studies have focused on silicon (Si)-mediated interactions between PS-NPs and rice. Thus, two forms of Si (organosilicon/inorganic silica) treated rice cells were exposure of positively or negatively charged NP ...

Abstract:
... Metal-nitrogen-doped carbon single-atom nanozymes (M − NC SAzymes) have tremendous prospects to replace natural enzymes for the treatment of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related diseases. However, developing a pyrolysis-free and universal synthesis of M − NC SAzymes with robust enzyme-mimicking activity still remains a challenge. Herein, a promising cytoprotective agent (Fe-NC SAzymes) with multi ...
... Organophosphate esters (OPEs), which are frequently used as flame retardants and plasticizers in versatile products, are readily released to the external environment. Although workers at municipal waste incineration plants may be extensively exposed to OPEs, only scarce health monitoring and risk assessments have been conducted in this population. In this study, we investigated the levels of eight ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of oxidative attributes, protein DJ-1 expression, oxidized form (oxDJ-1), and cellular localization in RFN and PSE pork meat during the post-mortem aging. The longissimus thoracis of RFN and PSE groups were collected and classified by determination of pH, color and purge loss and then aged for 1, 3 and 7 d at 4 °C postmortem. Results showed ...

Abstract:
... Temperature can be considered as pro-oxidant factor that favor the generation of ROS on the species with lower antioxidant efficiency may leads to affect the level of tolerance. So the basic antioxidant enzyme activity (LPO, CAT, SOD, GPx and GST) of gastropod Nerita oryzarum was evaluated at six stations which located between the thermal effluent discharges points from Tarapur Atomic Power Statio ...
... Cyanobacteria and green algae are the OECD recommended test organisms for environmental toxicity assessments of chemicals. Whether the differences in these two species' responses to the identical chemical affect the assessment outcomes is a question worth investigating. Firstly, we investigated the distinct resistance mechanisms of Synechococcus sp. (cyanobacteria) and R. subcapitata (green algae) ...
... Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a novel type of persistent synthetic organic pollutant, and its exposure on pregnant women can cause some adverse effects, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, and preeclampsia. Therefore, understanding the metabolic changes caused by PFOA exposure is of great significance to protect pregnant women from its adverse effects. In this ...

Abstract:
... Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is ubiquitous and moderately persistent in the environment, and it is an identified human carcinogen. Previous animal experiments indicate that toxic mechanisms of PCP include oxidative stress. However, no epidemiological study has reported the association between PCP exposure and oxidative stress; such association in pregnant women, a vulnerable population, is of particula ...

Abstract:
... The Eastern Amazon is rich in bauxite ore. The extraction and processing of bauxite lead to the mobilization of Aluminum (Al) and other metals in environmental. We evaluated the metals (Al, Mn, Ba, and Cr) concentration in tissue, water, and sediment associated with antioxidant and oxidative damage responses in Bryconops caudomaculatus. The samplings were done in two hydrological periods (post-rai ...

Abstract:
... In recent years, many endeavours have been prompted with photocatalytic nanomaterials by the need to eradicate pathogenic microorganisms from water bodies. Herein, a tocopherol-assisted Ag-Fe₃O₄-TiO₂ nanocomposite (TAFTN) was synthesized for photocatalytic bacterial inactivation. The prepared TAFTN became active under sunlight due to its narrowed bandgap, inactivating the bacterial contaminants vi ...
... In order to avoid pyridine volatilization in the conventional aerobic system based on bubble aeration, an algal-bacterial symbiotic system based on photosynthetic oxygenation was developed. Nonetheless, pyridine at high concentration would inhibit algal growth and photosynthetic activity, and thus decrease oxygen production efficiency. An external-loop split-type dynamic membrane photobioreactor s ...

The aim of this work is to study the immune responses of the polychaete Sabella spallanzanii after exposure to copper sulphate, an immunomodulating agent in marine organisms, and the multiple stresses caused by Escherichia coli infection, to validate the species as a model organism in marine-coastal biomonitoring programmes. Polychaetes were housed in laboratory and divided into five experimental ...
... Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) that persist and bioaccumulate in the environment have aroused people's great concern. Here, we studied the adverse effects of FQs in soil animals of Caenorhabditis elegans via food-chronically exposure. The result shows C. elegans exposed to FQs exhibited reproductive toxicity with small-brood size and low-egg hatchability. To study the underlying mechanism, we c ...
