While there is no conclusive evidence that monosodium glutamate (MSG, a food additive) directly causes liver cancer in humans, certain studies suggest a potential link between MSG-induced liver injury and cancer development. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of tannic acid (TA, a natural polyphenol) against MSG-induced hepatotoxicity through the glutathione and thioredoxin systems. Twenty-four rats were random...

Recent developments in nanotechnology and nanoscience in all phases of human life have radically altered the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of numerous diseases. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been among the most dynamic, and Several metallic nanoparticles developed for biological uses include some beautiful nanomaterials. Ag-NPs have played a pivotal role in nanotechnology and nanoscience, mostly nanomedicine. In th...

Background This study aimed to achieve a dual objective: to compare the frequencies of CYP1A2 rs762551 genotypes between team sport athletes and a control group, and to determine the association between the rs762551 polymorphism and changes in physical performance after a six-week training program among elite basketball players. Methods The study encompassed an analysis of 504 individuals, comprising 320 athletes and 184 contr...

We present a dataset of daily resolution climatic time series that has been compiled for the European Climate Assessment (ECA). As of December 2001, this ECA dataset comprises 199 series of minimum, maximum and/or daily mean temperature and 195 series of daily precipitation amount observed at meteorological stations in Europe and the Middle East. Almost all series cover the standard normal period 1961–90, and about 50% extends...
