“…In another study, with malathion exposure in rats, the FSH concentration was significantly increased but the estrogen level dramatically decreased [ 41 ]. Previous studies on malathion and nitrobenzene also demonstrated similar findings in female chickens and fish where estrogen and progesterone levels were severely decreased but the testosterone concentrations were increased as in our present study [ 42 , 43 ]. Reduced estradiol levels in malathion and nitrobenzene-exposed rabbits in our study could result in fewer healthy ovarian follicles, granulosa cell apoptosis, and ovarian anomaly, as seen in other animals [ 39 , 40 ].…”

Background The use of chemical pesticides in developing countries like Bangladesh and their impacts on human health and food security is a global concern. Bangladesh is an agricultural dependent country for the growing population demand for food security and food safety. We conduct this study to assess public health threats of commonly utilised pesticides including malathion and nitrobenzene in female rabbit model. Methods Thirty New Zealand White healthy rabbit was divided randomly into three groups; and subjected to distilled water as control, malathion@ 5 mg/kg body weight and nitrobenzene@ 5 mg/kg body i.p daily for the next 15 days. Hematology, serum biochemistry and hormonal assay were performed. Results Red blood cell (RBC) concentrations (TEC, Hb, PCV%) were reduced in rabbits exposed to malathion and nitrobenzene. The neutrophil and eosinophil percentage were increased in the malathion and nitrobenzene exposed juvenile rabbit group. We found that serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and creatinine were increased in the nitrobenzene exposed group in infants, whereas malathion exposure increased serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT). In contrast, the juvenile group exposed to malathion increased the ALT level. There was no change in AST or creatinine levels in juvenile rabbits exposed to malathion or nitrobenzene. Serum estradiol levels were significantly lower in rabbits exposed to malathion and nitrobenzene. Serum testosterone concentration was increased in juvenile rabbits exposed to malathion and nitrobenzene, but progesterone was decreased in malathion exposed juvenile rabbits. Conclusion However, this study highlights the importance of rigorous monitoring and testing of agricultural products. In addition, strengthen research and extension in the fields of agro economy, organic farming, local universities and farmer associations.

This paper explores the presence and significance of the rooster in Aristophanes's plays. In particular, the paper argues that the rooster embodied an example of masculinity that was presented on stage to reaffirm an idea of maleness already broadly accepted by society. Drawing from Aristophanes's plays and other ancient Greek texts, the paper suggests that victorious roosters display hegemonic masculine characteristics, asserting dominance over female and other male individuals. As such, the rooster displayed on stage becomes a public symbol of hegemonic masculinity and helps reinforce the expected male performance.1
