THE ROLE OF OXIDATIVE STRESS BIOMARKERS IN ANIMAL HEALTH, TOXICOLOGY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

The oxidative stress biomarkers have gained significance in veterinary medicine, animal production, toxicology and environmental biomonitoring because of their link between redox imbalance and clinically as well as ecologically relevant results. RONS are produced during metabolism, immune defence, reproduction, growth...

Serum Molecular Fingerprints of Oxidative Stress Underlying Neurocognitive and Motor Dysfunction in Pesticide‐Exposed Populations

We investigated the relationship between chronic pesticide exposure, oxidative stress, and neurocognitive alterations in rural populations of Celendín, Cajamarca, Peru. A total of 101 adults (18–86 years) were evaluated through neuropsychological (NEUROPSI) and neuromotor assessments, serum oxidative stress biomarkers,...

Effects of sub-acute aluminium phosphide exposure on hepatorenal biomarkers and antioxidant defense in rats

Investigating the dose-dependent toxicity of AlP on biochemical biomarkers, antioxidant defense responses, and histological changes in rat liver and kidneys found sub-acute AlP exposure caused dose-dependent liver and kidney toxicity, high doses induced pronounced damage, and low doses showed mild or minimal effects.
