"Natural Bioactive Phytocompounds to Reduce Toxicity in Common Carp Cyprinus carpio: A Challenge to Environmental Risk Assessment of Nanomaterials"
|
|
this study was designed to evaluate the potential of natural bioactive phytocompounds extracted from the nutmeg in mitigating the impact of nanomaterials on aquatic organisms. In detail, different dosages of M. fragrans seed extract (MFSE) were administrated as post-treatment to common carp Cyprinus carpio waterborne exposed to copper in its bulk counterpart (copper II oxide, CuO) and as nanoparticle (Cu-NPs) in order to elucidate the ameliorative effects of nutmeg on the health status of fish, as assessed by tissue metal accumulation, investigation of the hematological profile, histology of fish gills and kidney, and analysis of oxidative stress enzymes.
