Protective effect of Chlorella vulgaris on sub-chronic hepatic and testicular toxicity induced by acetamiprid in rats
Hanaa M. Hegazy
Acetamiprid (ACMP) is a widely used neonicotinoid insecticide that has been linked to oxidative stress-induced toxicity and physiological changes in mammals. This study investigates ACMP-induced hepatic and testicular toxicity in rats and the potential protective role of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris), a green microalga used as an antioxidant against ACMP-induced toxicity. Thirty-two male rats were allocated into four groups of eight each, as follows: (1) The CTRL group received only water; (2
