Summary: This study evaluated the protective effects of Moringa oleifera leaf ethanolic extract (MOE) on Nile tilapia exposed to a sub-lethal concentration of abamectin (ABM). MOE supplementation ameliorated hepato-renal damage, enhanced antioxidant activity and innate immune responses, and upregulated anti-inflammatory gene expression in ABM-exposed fish. Therefore, MOE could be used to counteract the oxidative stress and immune response disruption induced by ABM exposure in Oreochromis niloticus and reduce its accumulation in fish tissues.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of commercial food supplements based on Moringa oleifera. The phenolic content of methanolic extracts was determined using HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn, and antioxidant activity was assessed through ABTS(center dot+) and DPPH assays. The results showed that kaempferol and quercetin glucosides were the main contributors to the phenolic profile, and higher phenolic levels corresponded to higher antioxidant activity. The findings provide insights into the potential benefits of consuming Moringa oleifera-based food supplements.

Summary: Traditional medicine is chosen for its affordability, cultural familiarity, and local community access. Plants provide essential nutrients and specific small RNAs can regulate human gene expression. In this study, plant microRNAs from Moringa oleifera were found to target key proteins involved in cell cycle, apoptosis, immune response, and HIV pathogenesis, showing potential benefits in managing HIV infection.

Summary: Recent studies have shown the presence of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems and raised concerns about their negative impacts on freshwater organisms. This study examined the effects of chronic sub-lethal doses of polystyrene microspheres on the oxidative status and immune response of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT). The results revealed that microplastics can affect the immune response and antioxidant system of GIFT.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of supplementing diets with MOL on Nile tilapia. The results showed that the MOL5 group exhibited the best growth performance, with no effect on feed conversion ratio. The MOL supplementation significantly increased the activity of hepatic antioxidant enzymes and enhanced immune function. MOL also maintained the structure and morphology of the intestines.

Summary: The study demonstrated the protective efficacy of Moringa oleifera against age-related oxidative stress in the brains of aged rats, showing reduced lipid peroxidation and lipofuscin pigmentation, as well as increased levels of antioxidant enzymes and serotonin in treated groups. LC-MS-MS analysis revealed blood-brain barrier permeable secondary metabolites from the extract, with certain compounds showing promising binding affinity to key proteins involved in the antioxidant response.

Summary: This study found that Moringa oleifera leaf proteins can elicit allergic responses in mice, leading to increased mast cells, IgE, IgG, systemic anaphylaxis signs, and histamine levels. Enhanced release of Th-related cytokines and interleukins was observed in sensitized mice, along with increased expression of normal T cells. The findings provide comprehensive guidance for identifying new allergen candidates and developing hypoallergenic products.

Summary: Moringa oleifera Lam. is a plant with various bioactivities, including polysaccharides and gums. Polysaccharides have been found to possess antihyperlipidemic, anti-diabetic, immunomodulatory, antihypertensive, and gastrointestinal protection functions. The extraction methods can influence the structure and bioactivity of polysaccharides. This review provides updated information on the extraction, purification, structural characterization, bioactivities, and potential applications of moringa polysaccharides.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of Cu2+ and PS-MPs on Nile tilapia's antioxidant capacity, immune response, and intestinal microbiota, finding that high concentrations of exposure led to oxidative damage and inflammation. PS-MPs exacerbated the accumulation of Cu2+ and perturbed the biological systems of Nile tilapia.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of dietary silymarin on the immune, antioxidant, and histopathological status of Nile tilapia, as well as its protective effects against Aeromonas hydrophila infection and oxytetracycline treatment. The results showed that silymarin improved blood parameters, serum lipid profiles, and immune responses in the fish. It also reduced mortality in fish infected with A. hydrophila and treated with oxytetracycline.

Summary: This study found that long-term exposure to diclofenac can induce oxidative imbalance, neurotoxicity, and alterations in gene expression related to stress in Nile tilapia. These biomarkers could potentially be used to monitor the adverse effects of pharmaceuticals on organisms in aquatic ecosystems.

Summary: In this study, the application of Amphora coffeaeformis diatom in the diet of Nile tilapia was found to improve growth performance, enhance immune and antioxidant responses, and control Aeromonas hydrophila infection. The 2% and 3% concentrations of A. coffeaeformis showed the most significant effects. Immunological and antioxidant improvements were maintained even after the challenge with A. hydrophila. The histopathological examination also demonstrated the protective effects of A. coffeaeformis against A. hydrophila infection in various organs of Nile tilapia.

Summary: In this study, diseased Oreochromis niloticus at different life stages were collected from fish farms in Egypt. Bacterial pathogen isolation and identification were conducted using traditional and molecular techniques. The high prevalence of Streptococcus agalactiae in juveniles during the summer suggests its significant contribution to tilapia mortality.
