Ameliorative effects of the phytochemicals in dates (Phoenix dactylifera) against the toxicological changes induced by fipronil in male albino rats. Toxicology 2022; 480:153313. [PMID: 36113622 DOI: 10.1016/j.tox.2022.153313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Scientific evidence has shown that fipronil induces oxidative stress and genotoxicity. Our study aimed to evaluate the potential oxidation in redox parameters and DNA, as well as determine the protective effect of date extract of increasing resistance to cellular damage. 30 Male albino rats were divided into six groups ( n = 5): 1) control group; 2) treatment group with date extract (1 g/kg B.W.); 3) treatment group with 1/20 LD50 of fipronil; 4) treatment group with 1/40 LD50 of fipronil; 5) treatment group with 1/20 LD50 of fipronil + 1 g/kg date extract; and 6) treatment group with 1/40 LD50 of fipronil + 1 g/kg dates extract. Date extract showed a high content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties. Fipronil increased 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine levels and lipid peroxidation by malondialdehyde but decreased the total antioxidant capacity in plasma. Moreover, glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase levels in the liver and kidney decreased, along with histopathological abnormalities. Additionally, tail moment parameters of liver DNA and micronucleus frequencies in the bone marrow increased. This study showed that fipronil-induced various health hazards in vivo, whereas date extract alleviated the said toxicological effects. However, date extract failed to reduce genotoxicity.

[PMID: 36290913 PMCID: PMC9599224 DOI: 10.3390/bios12100775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
A label-free fipronil aptasensor was built based on Polylysine-black phosphorus nanosheets composition (PLL-BPNSs) and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). A PLL-BP modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated by combining BP NSs and PLL, which included a considerable quantity of -NH2. Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were placed onto the GCE, and PLL-BPNSs bonded to Au NPs firmly by assembling. The thiolated primers were then added and fixed using an S-Au bond, and competitive binding of the fipronil aptamer was utilized for fipronil quantitative assessment. The sensor’s performance was evaluated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method. The linear equation is ΔI (μA) = 13.04 logC + 22.35, while linear correlation coefficient R2 is 0.998, and detection limit is 74 pg/mL (0.17 nM) when the concentration of fipronil is 0.1 ng/mL–10 μg/mL. This aptasensor can apply to quantitative detection of fipronil.

Abstract
Aristolochic acid (AA) are persistent soil pollutants in the agricultural fields of the Balkan Peninsula. Preparations containing aristolochic acid are widely used for anti-inflammatory, diuretic, etc. To study the hepatotoxicity of aristolochic acid, 80 healthy SD rats were selected and divided into 20 mg/kg- AA group, 4 mg/kg-AA group, and 2 mg/kg-AA group and blank group, 20 rats per group. Mainly tested the body weight, liver function, liver tissue oxidative stress and pathological changes of liver tissue in rats. The ALT and AST activities in the serum of the rats in the administration groups were increased compared with the blank group. The activity of MDA in the administration groups was higher than that in the blank group; the activities of SOD, T-AOC and GSH-PX were significantly lower than those in the blank group. HE tissue sections also found that the administration groups showed varying degrees of hepatocyte boundary blur, nuclear fragmentation, and fibrosis tendency. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the mitochondria of the rat liver became more and more severely damaged with the increase of dose. Compared with the blank group, the mRNA expression of Bax, Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 in the administration groups were determined, while the mRNA expression of the Bcl-2 was increased. And compared with the blank control group, the expression levels of apoptotic proteins caspase-9 and caspase-3 increased significantly in the 20 mg/kg-AA group. Aristolochic acid can induce liver injury in rats through oxidative stress pathway and mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.
