Assessment of the protective role of natural substances against environmental contaminants
The present line of research aims to evaluate the protective effect of botanical extracts against environmental contaminants (metals and nanoparticles) in animal models (tilapia, zebrafish, quail, and rats) and through in vitro assays (ROS, MDA, H2O2, 8-OH-dG, LPO, AchE, MT, HSP, apoptosis-related genes and haematobiochemical parameters).
