Protective effects of Ecklonia cava extract on the toxicity and oxidative stress induced by hair dye in in-vitro and in-vivo models

Toxicological effect and enzymatic disorder of non-studied emerging contaminants in Artemia salina model

“…Negative effects have been observed in aquatic organisms exposed to hair dyes [ 48 , 49 ], UV filters [ [50] , [51] , [52] ] and TBBP [ 33 , 34 , 53 , 54 ]. The exposure of the zebrafish to PPD (25−50 mg/L) resulted in diverse abnormalities (reduction trend in body axes, cardiac looping, less pigmentation, mortalities, DNA damage, etc.)…”

“…The exposure of the zebrafish to PPD (25−50 mg/L) resulted in diverse abnormalities (reduction trend in body axes, cardiac looping, less pigmentation, mortalities, DNA damage, etc.) [ 49 , 55 ], including a state of redox imbalance as consequence of ROS production [ 49 ]. This latter triggered important changes in other biochemical mechanisms; for example, lipid peroxidation reduced the antioxidant system [ 56 ] and impaired immune system [ 57 ].…”

Preface: Bioactive substances of various seaweeds and their applications and utilization

“…For the purposes of cosmetic applications, Oh et al (2019) demonstrated applications of Ecklonia cava extract as an additive to human hair dyes containing ρ-phenylenediamine, and was found to reduce the cytotoxicity and oxidative stresses induced by hair dyes. Silva et al (2019b) reported on the benefi ts of extracts from the brown seaweeds Ascophyllum nodosum and Sargassum muticum as good biofertilizers with positive eff ects on seed germination, plant development, and crop production.…”
