“…Rats were randomly assigned to four groups, six animals per group. First, normal control group fed a balanced diet was prepared according to AOAC [28] salt and vitamin mixtures were prepared according to Briggs and Williams [30] and Morcos [31] respectively, the second group was a positive control that fed a balanced diet with 10% of normal WKB on the expense of carbohydrates (nWKB), the third group fed a balanced diet with 10% of treated WKB sprayed with 20 ppm of ZnO-NPs (tWKB-1) and the last group fed a balanced diet with 10% of treated WKB sprayed with 40 ppm of ZnO-NPs (tWKB-2). The experiment continued for 28 days (four weeks).…”

Introduction: Protection of brain against accelerated aging helps avoiding the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases. So, the current work was conducted to evaluate the rescuing role of kumquat fruits crude ethanol extract, carrot seeds ethanol and petroleum ether extracts against the brain aging induced by D-galactose in rats. Methods: Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided equally into five groups. Group I was served as normal control, rats of group II were daily injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 150 mg/kg BW of D-galactose. Rats of group III, IV and V were daily injected i.p. with the same dose of D-galactose and administered orally with 250 mg/kg BW/day of kumquat fruits crude ethanol extract, carrot seeds ethanol extract and carrot seeds petroleum ether extract, respectively. After 6 weeks the rats were scarified, brain tissues were analyzed for malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) as well as histological examination. Also, the plasma was analyzed for MDA, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), creatinine and urea levels, as well as CAT, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) activities. Results: From the results, it was elucidated that the tested extracts suppressed both the reduction in CAT and the elevation in MDA either in brain or plasma and the increase in plasma TNF-α, BChE as well as liver and kidney parameters. Conclusion: The tested extracts can be served as potent protective agents against the accelerated aging parameters which may be due to anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

“…Attention has been drawn to the paucity of information in the papers of many authors concerning mineral constituents used in diets (Williams & Briggs, 1963;Greenfield & Briggs, 1971). Furthermore, it has been shown that many of the mineral mixtures used were inadequate in one or more constitutent.…”
