this study was designed to evaluate pharmacokinetics of sulphadimidine   in cockerels fed on subclinical dose of arsenic (100 ppm) in diet and to determine the protective efficacy following simultaneous dietary medication with piper longum (pipli)   (100 ppm) in a 12-week feeding trial. pharmacokinetic parameters were determined after single i.v. dose (50 mg/kg) of sulphadimidine in cockerels i...

chronic arsenic poisoning (arsenicosis) is a global health risk, and it has been reported to improve the fitness, especially in altitudinal sickness in therapeutic dose. scarcity of systematic study on psychiatric co-morbidities in arsenicosis motivated us to conduct this research. the aim of this study was to estimate the co-morbid psychiatric disorders in patients with arsenicosis and to exam...

Since rice is a staple food most consumed world-wide, there have been increasing health concerns regarding exposure to arsenic through rice consumption. Several studies have reported the accumulation of arsenic in rice grains cultivated in regions with elevated levels of arsenic in groundwater or contaminated soil. Therefore the principal aim of this study was determining the amount of arsenic ...

abstract arsenic (as) contamination of soils is a global problem. legumes are often used in remediation of contaminated sites because of their capacity to fix nitrogen. in the present study, the effects of inoculation of bean (by rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli) on plant uptake and tolerance to arsenic were investigated. an experiment with a factorial arrangement, two levels of inoculation...

Arsenic is a highly toxic element for human beings, which is generally found in groundwater. Dissolved Arsenic in water can be seen as As+3 and As+5 states. The adsorption process is one of the available methods to remove Arsenic from aqueous solutions. Thus, this papers aims at removing Arsenic (III) from aqueous solutions through adsorption on iron oxide granules. The relation among four inde...

Introduction: Arsenic is a highly toxic element that is widely distributed in environment. Antioxidants depletion and oxidative stress is now considered as one of the possible mechanisms of arsenic-induced toxicity. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and Curcumin (Cur) are potential antioxidants that can compensate the depletion of antioxidants. This study aimed to compare the hepatoprotective effect of Cu...

arsenic is one of the heavy metals and nearly all its compounds, especially organic compounds, are toxic. the wide spectrum of diseases caused by this element has led to evaluation of the toxicity of different arsenic species and identification of the major natural and anthropogenic pollution sources of it in the nature. mining activities are among the main sources of anthropogenic pollution of...

introduction and aim: arsenic is a metalloid toxic for plants. arsenic is polluting the environment through the natural and artificial resources. it is harmful to human health. arsenic in plants for the production of the reactive oxygen species (ros) lead to destruction of nucleic acids and proteins in tissues of plants. it also reduces of photosynthesis and growth by destroy of the membranes o...

Arsenic contamination of drinking water poses serious health risks to millions of people worldwide. Current technologies used to clean arsenic-contaminated water have significant drawbacks, such as high cost and generation of large volumes of toxic waste. In this study, we investigated the potential of using recently identified arsenic-hyperaccumulating ferns to remove arsenic from drinking wat...
