Sodium benzoate (SB) is a commonly-used food preservative, with a controversial report to
its neurological benefit and toxicity. Zinc (Zn) is a trace element that plays a crucial role in …

Background This study evaluated the potential protective effects of Zn and Se in the
cerebellum and cerebral cortex, two fundamentally important brain regions, in albino rats …

Background Sodium benzoate (SB) is a widely used food preservative. However, excessive
intake of a high dose of SB poses a risk of neurotoxicity. Ascorbic acid (AA) is a naturally …

The aim of the current study was to determine protective effects of betaine on depressive-like
behaviors in zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) exposed mice. Forty male mice randomly …

The accumulation of relatively higher dose of zinc oxide nanoparticles in brain was reported
to produce neurotoxicity. Indeed, nanoparticles have a high ability to penetrate biological …

Our previous study showed that dietary zinc restriction induces depression-like behavior
with concomitant up-regulation of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). Because …

The study aimed to assess the impact of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on rats'
neurobehavior compared to bulk zinc oxide (BZnO). Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were …

Purpose/aim of the study Heavy metals and metalloids have been implicated in
neurodenerative diseases. Present study has evaluated the potential protective effects of Se …

Dysregulation of metal homeostasis has been perceived as one of the key factors in the
progression of neurodegeneration. Aluminium (Al) has been considered as a major risk …

Background and Objectives: Despite the wide spread use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (Nano
zinc oxide) in the medical and industry, a comprehensive study has been done on the effects …
