For this purpose both sulfoxaflor and fucoidan were given orally to mice for 24 hours and 7 days at doses of 15 mg/kg/day (equivalent to 1/50 oral LD₅₀) and 50 mg/kg/day. At the end of the tests, liver samples were collected and used to assess 8-OHdG levels, the mRNA expression levels of DNA damage response genes such as XRCC1, OGG1, APE1, and PARP1. Furthermore, levels of tGSH and enzyme activity of GPx, GR, and GST, as well as TBARS, were also examined. The current study's findings demonstrated that acute sublethal exposure to sulfoxaflor caused lipid and DNA damage in mice liver via raising TBARS and 8-OHdG levels, respectively, and activating antioxidants linked to GSH. Furthermore, sulfoxaflor increased the mRNA expression of XRCC1 and APE1 genes, which are involved in the DNA repair mechanism.&nbsp;</span><span lang="TR">This tudy indicated that&nbsp;</span><span lang="TR">sulfoxaflor caused oxidative responses via increasing 8-OHdG and TBARS levels and altering the antioxidant status. Fucoidan protected liver cells from sulfoxaflor-induced oxidative effects and regulated the DNA damage response at the transcriptional level in mice liver.</span></p> Fucoidan, Sulfoxaflor, DNA damage, DNA repair genes, antioxidant status Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum https://thejaps.org.pk/AbstractView.aspx?mid=2024-JAPS-2092
