Flooded paddy cultivation increases arsenic bioavailability, facilitating its accumulation in rice grains. While chemical monitoring and risk assessment indices are commonly used to estimate arsenic exposure, these approaches provide limited insight into the biological effects of long-term consumption. This study aimed to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of arseniccontaminated rice using a 90-day oral exposure model in Wistar rats, focusing on toxicological endpoints relevant to food safety assessment. Rice samples were selected using a conservative worst-case exposure strategy based on inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) arsenic profiling across several regencies in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Red, brown, and white rice samples with the highest arsenic concentrations in their respective categories were administered orally to female Wistar rats at doses of 8.1, 16.2, and 24.3 g/kg body weight per day for 90 consecutive days. A negative control group received 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium, while a positive control group received inorganic arsenic (0.3 mg/kg body weight). Clinical signs, body-weight changes, hematological parameters, serum biochemical markers of hepatic and renal function, and histopathological alterations in the liver and kidneys were evaluated. No mortality or severe clinical toxicity was observed in rice-treated groups. Bodyweight gain, relative organ weights, hematological indices, and renal biomarkers remained comparable to controls. Mild elevations in hepatic enzymes and focal hepatocellular alterations were observed only at the highest brown rice dose. In conclusion, subchronic oral exposure to arsenic-contaminated rice resulted in minimal systemic toxicity under the conditions tested, with the liver identified as the primary target organ at higher exposure levels. These findings provide biologically relevant evidence to support food safety evaluation of arsenic-contaminated rice.&lt;/p&gt;

This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of combined zinc and vitamin E (α-tocopherol) supplementation on inflammatory and biochemical parameters in&lt;em&gt; Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt;-induced sepsis in male Wistar rats. Thirty rats were divided into six groups: (1) normal control, (2) Placebo control (sepsis without therapy), (3) positive control (levofloxacin 45 mg/kg BW + zinc 0.9 mg/kg BW + vitamin E 250 mg/kg BW), and (4–6) treatment groups receiving combined zinc (0.9, 1.8, and 2.7 mg/kg BW) with vitamin E (250 mg/kg BW). Sepsis was induced intraperitoneally, followed by treatment according to group. On day 9, serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, CRP, AST, ALT, urea, creatinine, and albumin were analyzed, while lung and kidney, were examined histologically. The combination of zinc and vitamin E significantly decreased TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP levels while improving biochemical parameters and increasing serum albumin compared to the untreated group (p ≤ 0.05). The highest efficacy was observed with zinc 2.7 mg/kg BW and vitamin E 250 mg/kg BW, which showed over 50% reduction in tissue damage, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and interstitial hemorrhage in lung tissue, and improved hepatic cellular regeneration. These findings suggest that zinc and vitamin E exert synergistic anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects, indicating their potential as adjuvant therapy in sepsis management.&lt;/p&gt;

Cinnamon extract is known to contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which play significant roles in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Phytochemical analysis revealed that the extract contained total phenolic content of 71.55 mg GAE/g and flavonoid content of 0.41 mg QE/g, with a potent antioxidant activity indicated by an IC&lt;sub&gt;₅₀&lt;/sub&gt; value of 18.19 ppm. Administration of the extract for 28 days at a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight resulted in a significant reduction (P&amp;lt;0.05) in pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP levels compared to the negative control group. The 300 mg/kg dose showed the highest efficacy, with TNF-α levels approaching those of the normal group. Furthermore, liver function parameters improved, as evidenced by significant reductions in SGOT and SGPT enzyme levels, an increase in serum albumin (2.96 ± 0.52 g/dL), and a decrease in serum bilirubin to 0.102 ± 0.040 mg/dL. Ultrasonographic examination showed improved liver parenchymal homogeneity and a reduction in the number of nodules. Histopathological findings revealed a decrease in liver tissue damage score from moderate to mild. These findings suggest that &lt;em&gt;Cinnamomum burmannii&lt;/em&gt; extract has potential hepatoprotective effects through antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatocellular recovery mechanisms. Therefore, this extract holds promise as a phytopharmaceutical candidate for complementary therapy in liver function disorders; however, further studies are required to isolate the active compounds and evaluate long-term toxicity.&lt;/p&gt;

Changes in body weight were determined during the 14-day treatment period, and on the last day of treatment, blood was drawn, and euthanasia was performed, removing organs for histological analysis. Biochemical parameters were measured. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The body weight of the research specimens not show statistically significant variation. In the liver, mild lymphocytic portal inflammation and moderate hepatic steatosis occurred at doses of 2000 mg/kg/day. The kidneys exhibited a mild infiltration around the renal tubules and glomeruli at the same dose. The brain showed a slight increase in the count of astrocytes with focal glial reaction at the highest dose. The stomach and heart also showed mild inflammatory processes at the dose of 2000 mg/kg/day. In biochemical parameters, statistically significant differences were observed between the dose of 2000 mg/Kg/day and the control group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The ethanolic extract of the rhizome of Z. officinale in rats revealed histopathological changes in the liver, kidneys, brain, stomach, and heart, besides changes in biochemical parameters at doses of 2000 mg/Kg/day.&lt;/p&gt;

The Indonesian Ministry of Health launched Temephos as a national effort to limit the &lt;em&gt;Aedes aegypti &lt;/em&gt;larvae population. The old theory has been passed down for generations that the principle of the mechanism of action of temephos as a neurotoxin. The main aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of action of temephos as a stomach poison by using histopathology study.&lt;strong&gt; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; There are two treatments with three replications: a container containing only 100 ml of water with tween 20 and a container containing 100 ml of water with 1 ppm of temephos 8G. The 20 third-instar Ae. aegypti larvae in containers containing 100 ml of water with 1 ppm of temephos 8G were compared with those in 100 ml of water containing Tween-20. The experiment was done in three replications. The number of dead larvae was recorded after 24 hours of treatment. Histological sections of the larval midgut were prepared and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE). Light microscopy was used to examine changes in the length of the midgut lumen and the epithelium. Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA. The appearances of the nucleus of the epithelial cell and the degree of damage were qualitatively observed. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The results showed that no dead larvae were found in the control group, however, 100% mortality was found in the temephos group. The changes in midgut lumen length and in the epithelium length were significantly different from those in the control group (p&amp;lt;0.05). Nuclei of epithelial cells were lost and midgut cells were damaged in the temephos group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; This study reports the first discovery of the mechanism of action of temephos other than a neurotoxin, namely stomach poison&lt;/p&gt;

It has been used to increase the immune system and has been shown to have immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory and hematopoietic effects. However, there is no scientific evidence that shows this plant is safe for long-term use. Based on that circumstance, this study aimed to measure the safety of Pegagan Embun (&lt;em&gt;Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides&lt;/em&gt; Lam.) ethanol extract activities on liver and kidney histopathology. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; The study aimed to measure the safety of Pegagan Embun (&lt;em&gt;Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides &lt;/em&gt;Lam.) ethanol extract activities on liver and kidney histopathology. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Method&lt;/strong&gt;: Ethanol extract used because all the active compounds in plants extracted as a whole, and it cheaper and more efficient in the extraction process. Determine as many thirty-six white male mice as test animals and separate them into eight treatment groups. The administrated ethanol extract of Pegagan Embun (&lt;em&gt;Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides&lt;/em&gt; Lam.) at doses of 7, 35, and 150 mg/kg BW for 7, 14, and 21 days. On days 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 15&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, and 22&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;, three white male mice collected from each treatment group and collected their liver and kidney. The data analysed used a T-test with IBM SPSS type 24. &lt;strong&gt;Result: &lt;/strong&gt;LD50 of ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides&lt;/em&gt; Lam. &amp;gt; 15,000 mg/kg means practically not toxic. The results showed that the administration of extract &lt;em&gt;Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides &lt;/em&gt;Lam. for 7, 14, and 21 days showed a non-significant effect on any histological damage to the liver of male white mice at doses of 7 and 35 mg/kg BW (normal histology). The non-significant effect also occurs at150 mg/kg BW for 7 days; however, it caused mild damage at a dose of 150 mg/kg BW for 14 days and moderate damage at 150 mg/kg BW for 21 days. In renal histopathology, doses of 7 mg/kg BW. for 7, 14, and 21 days showed normal histology and doses of 35 mg/kg BW for 7, 14, and 21 days showed minimal damage. The administration at doses of 150 mg/kg BW for 7 days showed mild damage, while a dose of 150 mg/kg BW for 14 and 21 days showed moderate damage. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It concluded that the administration of extract of &lt;em&gt;Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides&lt;/em&gt; Lam. did not cause severe damage to the histology of the liver and kidneys of white male mice.&lt;/p&gt;

This study evaluates the effect of &lt;em&gt;Cordia lutea&lt;/em&gt; extract on paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Three different doses of dry fluid extract of &lt;em&gt;C. lutea&lt;/em&gt; (200, 400 and 600 mg / Kg) were evaluated and compared with Silymarin 200 mg / Kg. Biochemical parameters such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, total bilirubin, albumin, globulin and total proteins were evaluated, and histopathological changes in the liver were studied and evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;C. lutea &lt;/em&gt;reduced the levels of ALT, AST, ALP and increases proteins significantly, although the reduction of bilirubin was not significant, the extract at 400 mg / Kg reduced the levels better than the extract at 600 mg / Kg. The histopathological evaluation suggested that &lt;em&gt;C. lutea&lt;/em&gt; extract reduced paracetamol-induced liver necrosis. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The extract of &lt;em&gt;C. lutea&lt;/em&gt; has a marked hepatoprotective effect, significantly reducing the levels of ALT, AST and ALP, in addition to increasing the levels of albumin, globulin and total proteins, in&lt;em&gt; Rattus norvegicus&lt;/em&gt; var. &lt;em&gt;albinus&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;em&gt; C. lutea &lt;/em&gt;extract is an excellent candidate for use in paracetamol-induced liver diseases.&lt;/p&gt;

Materials and Methods: Three different doses of methanol and ethyl acetate extract of &lt;em&gt;A. absinthium &lt;/em&gt;(50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day) were evaluated and compared with silymarin 100 mg/kg. Rats received these doses for 5 days and on the 3rd and 4th day diclofenac (50 mg/kg i.p.) was administered 1 h after treatment. Animals were sacrificed 48 h after the last injection of diclofenac. Biochemical blood parameters like aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), urea and creatinine, and histopathologic changes of liver and kidney were studied and evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A. absinthium &lt;/em&gt;reduced the elevated blood levels of ALT, AST, ALP, urea and creatinine with the methanol extract to 200 mg/kg/day being more effective.

In this work, we extended our research to screen the antitumor activity of RS ethanol extract as a single treatment and in the presence of combined radiotherapy with a low dose of gamma radiation against murine Ehrlich solid carcinoma (EAC) model. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To evaluate the most common waste in Egypt RS to screen out its &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; cytotoxic activity and as combined therapy with radiotherapy.&lt;strong&gt; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; Tested sample RS was investigated for its content of phenolics by LC/MS/MS, in addition, ethanolic extracts of the tested sample were investigated as antitumor on female mice inoculated with EAC cells as a single treatment and in the presence of combined radiotherapy with a low dose of gamma radiation (LDR). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; LC/MS/MS revealed that rice straw was rich in phenolic acids (vanillic, p-coumaric, ferulic, and sinapic acid) along with catechin and flavonoids aglycones (quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol). Rice straw and/or exposure to a low dose of γ-radiation caused a marked suppression of tumor growth and induced significant reduction in VEGF level &amp;amp; in IL-6 level with significant elevation in IL-10 serum level. Rice straw caused a significant down regulation in the gene transcription level of MCL1 and b-catenin, and a significant up-regulation of Caspase-3 and Bax gene expression. RS extract and LDR (EC + RS + R group) revealed that there was a mild form of necrosis with severe apoptosis in the tumor cells. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; From the aforementioned results, it can be concluded that RS/LDR effectively and synergistically work towards inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. These findings were well supported with histopathological studies suggesting that RS/low dose gamma radiation can serve as a good therapeutic agent against cancer but still need further clinical studies.&lt;/p&gt;

To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of ANS, twenty male rats were divided into four equal groups. Injection of 100 &amp;mu;l carrageenan in normal saline into the subplantar region of the hind paw of rats clearly induced paw edema. The volume of paw edema was attenuated following oral administration of ANS. For hepatoprotective effects, twenty five rats were equally divided into five groups.The hepatotoxicity, induced by a single dose of CCl&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;, produced significant (p&amp;lt;0.001) increase of the levels of serumtransaminase, phosphatase, bilirubin and a decrease in proteins were also noticed. The oxidative stress marker such as malondialdehyde (MDA)was increased and nonprotein sulfhydryl (NP-SH) was decreased in the hepatotoxic tissues. Pre-medication of CCl&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;-intoxicated rats with ANS at the doses 250 and 500 mg/kg reversed the abnormal liver diagnostic stricture. The results showed that ANS is toxicologically safe when orally administered and possess highly significant anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activities and the potentials usefulness of Anthemis scrobicularis in hepatic and inflammatory disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words&lt;/strong&gt;: Anthemis scrobicularis, Anti-inflammatory, Hepatoprotective, Carbon tetrachloride, Histopathology.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hasan S.
