The objective of this study is to determine the effect of lead (pb) on antioxidant enzymes and
lipid peroxidation products in different regions of rat brain. Wistar male rats were treated with
lead acetate (500 ppm) through drinking water for a period of 8 weeks. Control animals were …

Abstract Haematological (WBC, RBC, Hgb and Hct) and genotoxicity (MNT) parameters,
hepatic enzymatic activities (GST, GPx and GR), and a histopathological evaluation of liver,
kidneys and gonads were assessed as general biomarkers of metal pollution in the shrew …

Heavy metals accumulation in parallel with the evaluation of physiological and biochemical
effects resulting from continued metal exposure were considered here using for the first time
the great white-toothed shrew Crocidura russula as an in vivo model. Shrews were …

The extent to which hematocrit (Hct) is regulated and the impact of altered Hct on blood
oxygen transport in avian embryos are largely unknown. Consequently, we investigated how
acute blood removal or Ringer solution injection modified Hct in day 15 embryos, and …

In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of water-soluble elements from a contaminated
soil via gavage in a single dose, simulating a geophagy event. The contaminated soil was
collected in a field located in an industrial complex, and the control soil was collected in a …

Venom immunotherapy is a highly effective treatment, capable of improving health-related
quality of life. Bee venom (BV) is considered an effective rheumatoid arthritis modulator that
removes reactive oxygen species (ROS). The hypothesis behind the present work was that …

The detoxification capacity of the clinoptilolite modification KLS-10-MA used as food additive
in small mammals, chronically lead-exposed, was proven for the first time. The modified
clinoptilolite was prepared based on natural Bulgarian clinoptilolite deposits. As a powder, it …

Since the mountains often represent a barrier for the pollutants in many regions, the
concentrations of toxic elements in the tissues of alpine animals may remain relatively high
and do not decrease in the current times. To estimate heavy metal contamination of alpine …

The peer-reviewed literature on the health and ecological effects of lead (Pb) indicates
common effects and underlying modes of action across multiple organisms for several
endpoints. Based on such observations, the United States (US) Environmental Protection …

The use of lead in military and civilian small arms projectiles is widely acknowledged to
have resulted in high soil lead concentrations at many small arms ranges. These ranges are
often adjacent to wildlife habitat or have become habitat when no longer used. To assess …
