Golden shower tree, or Cassia fistula, is a well-known medicinal plant with a long history of traditional use. The purpose of this thorough investigation is to clarify Cassia fistula's phytochemical components and pharmacological... more
One of the possible threats in increasing use of nanomaterials is the emergence of toxicity in humans and other animals which is discussed in nanotoxicology. In addition to toxic effects of nanomaterials themselves, different chemical... more
The aim of this study was comparing the toxic effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) versus zinc ions (Zn) at a high nonlethal (500μg/L) and a low environmental relevant (0.05μg/L) concentrations on gills of rainbow trout... more
BACKGROUND: Silver nanoparticles are now widely used in various industries and consumer products, especially because of their antimicrobial properties. The widespread use of these nanoparticles has increased the likelihood of their... more
This study aims to evaluate the potential toxic effects of ZnO nanoparticles on Artemia franciscana nauplii. The ZnO NPs suspension was characterized by TEM, EDS and DLS techniques. Acute toxicity was investigated by exposure of nauplii... more
Environmental context The increased use of nanomaterials in industrial and consumer products requires robust strategies to identify risks when they are released into the environment. Aquatic toxicologists are beginning to possess a... more
This study was conducted to measure the bioconcentration of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in artemia brine shrimp (Artemia salina) and its transfer to zebrafish (Danio rerio), in order to: (1) determine the uptake of AgNPs by artemia from... more
production and Zebrafish embryo toxicity assay (ZETA) test was conducted in accordance with OECD specific guidelines. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to the test substance with semistatic technique (2.5, 5.5, 12, 25 and 50 ppm). Apical... more
Among the most common chronic diseases in the world, Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an extremely studied and widely manifested multi-factorial disease which deliberately requires multi-modal therapeutic strategies [1]. It has an age-old... more
Nano-ecotoxicology is extensively debated and nanomaterial surface reactivity is an emerging topic. Iron oxide nanoparticles are widely applied, with organic or inorganic coatings for stabilizing their suspensions. Surface active... more
The results of antioxidant assays with Gymnema sylvestre leaf extracts revealed that methanol, acetone, and aqueous extracts possessed maximum DPPH (83, 83, and 75%) and ABTS scavenging potential (85, 71, and 82%). Chloroform possessed... more
Abstract. The rotifer Brachionus plicatilis is commonly cultured and used in hatcheries as the first feed of marine and fresh water fish larvae. Several cultivation techniques have been developed and applied in hatcheries by aquaculture... more
The aim of the present study was to determine the anti-diabetic activity of a polyherbal formulation in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. The methanolic extracts of Achyranthes aspera, Catharanthus roseus and Momordica charantia were... more
Fenugreek (trigonella foenum graecum) is one of the most widely used medicinal plants in folk medicine. It is known to have a diuretic, cardio tonic, hypotensive, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effect. This study was designed to evaluate... more
The present era is considered the nanotech age. Nanomaterials have gained a great deal of importance in the field of technology, engineering, and medicine progression because of their tunable, physical, chemical, and biological properties... more

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Aquatics specially fish is considered one of the most decaying food stuff. Having less connective tissues, more nonsaturated fatty acid, free amino acids and more anzyme activities are the factors influencing... more
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are known to have bactericidal and fungicidal effects. Since, there is few information available on the interaction of colloidal nanosilver with fish pathogens. Hence, the current study investigated the... more
Aquaculture industry especially shrimp farming in Iran and other parts of the world has been facing various disease that among various agents, pathogenic bacteria has emerged as important because it causes large economic losses to the... more
Diabetes mellitus is a common and serious metabolic disorder throughout the world. It is a dreadful disease found in all parts of the world and is becoming a serious threat to mankind health. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic... more
