People are exposed to pesticides daily through food, drinking water, and the environment, both in urban and rural settings. These chemicals, while offering economic and agricultural benefits through pest control and increased productivity, may pose a...
Irregular use of antibiotics is widespread in Nigeria, which has been reported to be associated with the prevalence of antibiotic resistance. As antibiotics have been reported to be associated with declining male infertility in animal models, we inve...
A four-year survey was conducted to monitor the presence of multiple pesticide residues contaminating tomatoes, with the aim of evaluating the potential health and environmental risks. A multiresidue liquid chromatography–triple mass spectromet...
Mitochondria play crucial roles in various cellular functions, including ATP production, apoptosis, and calcium homeostasis. Signaling pathways and hormones such as estrogens regulate the mitochondrial network through genetic, epigenetic, and metabol...
In this study, we evaluated the cytotoxicity and antioxidant activity of the soil ciliate Rigidohymena tetracirrata (Gellért, 1942) Berger 2011, exposed to single and bimetallic mixtures of heavy metals (HMs) for 24 h. Ecotoxicological tests s...
Due to their visible photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature, porous silicon particles (PSps) have gained interest for their potential biomedical applications, making them promising biological markers for in vivo or in vitro use. This study explor...
Bisphenol (BP) compounds are widely present in the environment, primarily due to their use as plastic additives. These substances involve health risks, particularly as endocrine disruptors. While the general population is chronically exposed, patient...
Toxicokinetic (TK) properties are essential in the framework of chemical risk assessment and drug discovery. Specifically, a TK profile provides information about the fate of chemicals in the human body. In this context, Quantitative Structure–...
Male reproductive health is increasingly threatened by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interfere with hormonal homeostasis and reproductive physiology. Rising rates of male infertility have been linked to greater exposure to pollutants s...
Non-nutritive artificial sweeteners (NASs) are xenobiotics widely used in the food industry as sugar substitutes, since they provide few to no calories compared to sucrose. While NASs are considered safe at the acceptable daily intake (ADI) establish...
