Palliative effect of Moringa olifera-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles against acrylamide-induced neurotoxicity in rats
2023, Food and Chemical ToxicologyCitation Excerpt :A score of 4 pointed out to the severely affected rat, as evidenced by weak hind limbs and incompetence to rear and upkeep its weight. Edwards and Parker (1977) procedure for measuring landing foot spread distance (LFSD) was used. In short, the ink was applied to the rats' fourth hind digits and then dropped from a 30 cm horizontal height.

2021, ToxicologyCitation Excerpt :Human case reports of acrylamide intoxication have been reported after drinking well water containing 400 ppm acrylamide (Igisu et al., 1975; Morimoto, 1975). In the present study, the acrylamide exposure level was selected based on previous experimental studies (Edwards and Parker, 1977; Gilbert and Maurissen, 1982; Nagashima et al., 2019; Zong et al., 2019) and our preliminary studies, as well as human cases with neurological deficits associated with acrylamide intoxication. It should be noted that the weight of whole brain decreased following intake of acrylamide at 67 ppm in Nrf2-/- mice while no changes in hindlimb splay length, density of monoaminergic axons or mRNA level of the tested genes were observed.
