Journal ArticleDOI
Naringenin reduces cholesterol-induced hepatic inflammation in rats by modulating matrix metalloproteinases-2, 9 via inhibition of nuclear factor κB pathway.
TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of treatment with NGEN on oxidative events and the molecular mechanisms underlying inflammatory changes triggered in the rat liver by a high cholesterol diet for 90 days found that NGEN markedly reduced lipid and protein oxidations, recruited the anti-oxidative defense system and promoted extracellular matrix degradation by modulating the levels of necrotic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Naringenin protects cardiac hypercholesterolemia-induced oxidative stress and subsequent necroptosis in rats.
TL;DR: The results show that the co-administration of NGEN (50 mg/kg/bw) in HCD rats improved all the altered parameters and provided insight into a possible molecular mechanism underlying NGEN suppression of necroptosis pathway in the heart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survey of infectious etiologies of bovine abortion during mid- to late gestation in dairy herds.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that different bacterial agents may cause bovine abortion in Tunisia, and the role of Parachlamydia acanthamoebae is suggested, the first report suggesting this emerging pathogen is directly linked to abortion in cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant properties of Pelargonium graveolens L’Her essential oil on the reproductive damage induced by deltamethrin in mice as compared to alpha-tocopherol

TL;DR: A positive influence of geranium essential oil in the animal male reproductive system similar than that of Vit E is shown, which prevented testicular oxidative damage explored by reduced LPP and improved total sperm motility, viability and morphology in mice spermatozoa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Naringenin Mitigates Iron-Induced Anxiety-Like Behavioral Impairment, Mitochondrial Dysfunctions, Ectonucleotidases and Acetylcholinesterase Alteration Activities in Rat Hippocampus.
TL;DR: Results showed that administration of NGEN by gavage significantly ameliorated anxiogenic-like behaviour impairment induced by the exposure to 50 mg of Fe-dextran/kg/day intraperitoneally for 28 days in rats, decreased iron-induced reactive oxygen species formation and restored theIron-induced decrease of the acetylcholinesterase expression level, mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial complexes activities in the hippocampus of rats.
