2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY | Pp. 98-102
Renal toxicity represents a major clinical and public health challenge, contributing substantially to the global burden of acute kidney injury and its frequent progression to chronic kidney disease. A growing body of research identifies oxidative stress and r...

Tuberculosis (TB) unfolds within a chemically reactive battlefield where host-derived reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) intersect with immune signaling to shape disease outcomes. While oxidative stress is essential for mycobacterial control, sust...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 26-30
Autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) arise from a breakdown in immune tolerance, leading to chronic inflammation, autoantibody production, and progressive tissue destruction. Among these autoantibodies, rheumatoid factor (RF)-an immunoglobul...

Phytochemical antioxidants, encompassing diverse plant-derived molecules such as polyphenols, carotenoids, organosulfur compounds, and certain alkaloids, represent a crucial interface between diet and immune system regulation. While their early recognition ce...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 11-15
Oxidative stress and inflammation are tightly intertwined drivers of acute and chronic disease. Antioxidant phytochemicals-plant-derived polyphenols, carotenoids, organosulfur compounds and related small moleculesmodulate redox balance and reprogram immune re...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 47-51
Environmental toxicants, including heavy metals, particulate matter, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, constitute a major global health burden due to their ability to trigger oxidative stress and dysregulate innate immune responses. These early biological...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, which exerts profound effects on multiple organ systems, including the nervous system. Neurotoxicity in diabetes is increasingly recognized as a consequence of mitochondria...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY | Pp. 61-66
Diabetes mellitus is associated with accelerated neuronal injury manifesting as diabetic peripheral neuropathy, cognitive impairment, and heightened risk of neurodegenerative disease. A large body of evidence implicates oxidative stress-the imbalance between...

Neurotoxicity-injury to the nervous system resulting from chemical, biological, or physical insults-remains a pressing clinical and public-health problem across acute exposures (organophosphates, heavy metals, chemotherapeutics), chronic environmental polluti...
