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;

(&lt;em&gt;A. cherimola&lt;/em&gt;) is mainly characterized by its antioxidant and cytoprotective properties due to their content of phenolic compounds. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To evaluate antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity of ethanol extract of leaves from &lt;em&gt;A. cherimola &lt;/em&gt;against induced toxicity by paracetamol in rats. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Amount of total phenolics compounds of ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;A. cherimola &lt;/em&gt;Mill. was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH method. Three doses of the ethanol extract of leaves of &lt;em&gt;A. cherimola&lt;/em&gt; (250, 500 and 750 mg/Kg/day) were administered to rats and it was evaluated biochemical blood parameters: aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured, liver tissue was removed for histopathological analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Ethanol extract of leaves from&lt;em&gt; A. cherimola &lt;/em&gt;had 41.26 mg GAE/g extract and antioxidant DPPH Scavenging Activity had 85.51%.&lt;em&gt; A. cherimola &lt;/em&gt;reduced blood levels of ALT, AST and ALP, compared to control group Paracetamol, ethanol extract, being more effective at doses of 750 mg/Kg/day. Histopathological evaluation suggested that &lt;em&gt;A. cherimola&lt;/em&gt; decreased hepatic necrosis and degenerative process induced by paracetamol. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Hepatoprotective activity of ethanol extract of leaves of&lt;em&gt; A. cherimola&lt;/em&gt; was demonstrated, being hepatoprotective activity dose dependent and the mechanism may involve antioxidant activity and total polyphenols found in extract of this plant.&lt;/p&gt;

Contaminated drinking water, battery manufacturing, lead paints, and industrial pollutants are all sources of lead exposure. Lead exposure can cause oxidative stress and is related to many health problems. To prevent oxidative stress caused by lead, the body needs additional antioxidants from the outside body. Syzygium cumini leaf is abundant in antioxidants, which help to minimize oxidative stress caused by lead. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The rats were divided into three groups: negative control, positive control (lead acetate 40 mg/kg BW, 30 days), and treatment (lead acetate 40 mg/kg BW and Syzygium cumini leaves extract 150 mg/kg BW, 30 days). At the end of the experiment, blood was collected and prepared to measure malondialdehyde and catalase activity. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The leaf extract of Syzygium cumini reduced serum malondialdehyde levels while increasing catalase activity. Conclusion: Lead exposure induces oxidative stress, which can be reduced by Syzygium cumini’s leaves.&lt;/p&gt;

Chemical composition of the plant showed that the most important constituents of this plant are betacarboline alkaloids such as harmalol, harmaline, and harmine. In this work, we aimed to evaluate the effects of these three major harmala alkaloids on induced rat ileum contractions, induced by acetylcholine, BaCl&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and KCl. Of these three harmala alkaloids, harmalol and harmaline produced a concentration-dependent spasmolytic activity, which was found to be reversible (i.e. disappeared after tissue wash-up. Both alkaloids inhibited acetylcholine and KCl-induced ileum contractions but BaCl&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; -induced contractions were only inhibited by harmalol but not harmaline. Harmine did not show any inhibitory activity.&lt;/p&gt;

We hypothesized that &lt;em&gt;Garcinia daedalanthera&lt;/em&gt; can modulate the lipid profiles of hyperlipidemic rats. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to evaluate the antihyperlipidemic potential of &lt;em&gt;Garcinia daedalanthera&lt;/em&gt; extract. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Garcinia daedalanthera&lt;/em&gt; leaves extract (GDE) were orally administrated to high fat diet-induced rats for 15 days. After the end of experimental period (43 days) the lipid profiles were estimated along with histopathological liver examination of animals. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that &lt;em&gt;Garcinia daedalanthera&lt;/em&gt; extract significantly reduced the level of serum total cholesterol, total triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein as compared to control group with an increasing level of serum high-density lipoprotein. Furthermore, the extract has a favorable effect on histopathological study. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study proved antilipidemic property by lowering altered levels of lipid profile in male wistar rats and suggest lipid lowering effects of &lt;em&gt;Garcinia daedalanthera&lt;/em&gt; extract which serves as a new potential natural product for preventing hyperlipidemia.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1125</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sarah Zielda Najib&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;,&amp;nbsp;Wilzar Fachri&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;,&amp;nbsp;Rani Sauriasari&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*,&amp;nbsp;Berna Elya&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Raymond Tjandrawinata&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

They were sorted into three groups composed of eight rats each of STZ 55 mg/kg, STZ 65 mg/kg and control. Diabetes was induced by administering STZ 55 mg/kg and 65 mg/kg intraperitoneally. The serum protein fractions were analyzed by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; No significant difference was observed between the groups for all fractions except alpha-2 and beta globulins. The alpha-2 and beta globulin levels were significantly higher in the 55 mg/kg group than in the 65 mg/kg STZ and control groups (p&amp;lt;0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This increase may be due to the involvement of different proteins in the alpha-2 and beta globulin protein fractions.&lt;/p&gt;

The present study investigated the effect of crude methanolic bark extract of Oroxylum indicum on testosterone induced benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in rat. Adult male rats were given either corn oil or testosterone dissolved in corn oil and testosterone with aqueous methanolic bark extracts of Oroxylum indicum (10, 50 and 100 mg/kg/day) for 14 days. The inhibitory effect of Oroxylum indicum on testosterone induced hyperplasia was evaluated by prostatic index and histopathological examination. Serum marker of liver injury (alanine aminotransferase, ALT and aspartate aminotransferase, AST) and liver histopathological examination were also conducted. Compared with testosterone induced BPH model group, Oroxylum indicum extract treated groups exhibited significant reduction in the prostatic index. Oroxylum indicum treated group also exhibited reduced hyperplasia of prostatic epithelium likewise finasteride treated group. Aqueous methanolic extract of Oroxylum indicum significantly inhibited testosterone induced prostate hyperplasia thus indicated the presence of efficient ingredients which can be used for the treatment of BPH.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, Oroxylum indicum, Testosterone, Finasteride, Rat.&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;Manuj Kr Bharali&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; and Luk Bahadur Chetry&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Cell and Molecular Biology Section, Department of Zoology, Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills, Doimukh: 791112, Arunachal Pradesh, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
