Embryonic exposure to butylparaben and propylparaben induced developmental toxicity and triggered anxiety-like neurobehavioral response associated with oxidative stress and apoptosis in the head of zebrafish larvae

Christy Lite et al.

Summary: Parabens are synthetic antimicrobial compounds used as preservatives in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Long-chain paraben esters, such as butylparaben and propylparaben, are commonly used in combination due to their better solubility and antimicrobial efficacy. Studies have shown that these compounds have harmful effects on zebrafish during early embryonic stages, leading to alterations in developmental parameters and triggering anxiety-like behavior in zebrafish larvae.

Hydroxyl containing benzo[b]thiophene analogs mitigates the acrylamide induced oxidative stress in the zebrafish larvae by stabilizing the glutathione redox cycle

B. Haridevamuthu et al.

Summary: Compounds BP and EP exhibited strong in vitro free radical scavenging ability. The maximum tolerated concentration of the compounds in zebrafish larvae was 80 μM. The antioxidant system in zebrafish larvae was dysregulated due to acrylamide exposure, and improvement was observed when acrylamide-exposed larvae were treated with compounds BP and EP. These compounds enhanced SOD and CAT activity, reduced ROS and lipid peroxidation levels, and decreased cell death in zebrafish larvae. Furthermore, BP and EP stabilized glutathione-related gene expressions, thus improving the glutathione redox cycle.

Daidzein normalized gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity and associated pro-inflammatory cytokines in MDCK and zebrafish: Possible mechanism of nephroprotection

Ajay Guru et al.

Summary: This study investigated the therapeutic activity of daidzein against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Daidzein was found to protect MDCK cells from inflammation and apoptosis caused by gentamicin. In the zebrafish model, daidzein treatment showed a strong anti-inflammatory effect and normalized histopathological alterations caused by gentamicin. Daidzein also downregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in kidney inflammation. These results suggest that daidzein could potentially prevent nephrotoxic conditions through inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and its antioxidant property.
