Potential effects of spirulina and date palm pollens on zinc oxide nanoparticles -induced hepatoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammation in male albino rats.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The application of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) is substantially growing in industrial products. Therefore, humans are increasingly exposed to ZnO NPs daily due to their extensive range of applications, raising worries about their possible toxicity.

Aim

In this study, the ameliorative effects of raw Phoenix dactylifera L. (date palm) pollens (DPP) and Spirulina platensis (SP) independently against ZnO NPS-induced hepatoxicity in male albino rats were examined.

Methods

Six groups (6/group) of adult male albino rats received oral treatment using distilled water (control), SP (1000 mg/kg b. wt.), DPP (100 mg/kg b. wt.), ZnO NPs (100 mg/kg b. wt.), ZnO NPs +SP, and ZnO NPs + DPP respectively for 15 days.

Results
