Potential Mechanisms of Imidacloprid-Induced Neurotoxicity in Adult Rats with Attempts on Protection Using Origanum majorana L. Oil/Extract: In Vivo and In Silico Studies.

Researchers investigated the impact of using essential oil or methanol extract from the aerial parts of Origanum majorana to protect rats against imidacloprid-induced neurotoxicity. They found that rats given OMO or OME along with imidacloprid showed less neurobehavioral and neuropathological damage, as well as improved levels of acetylcholine esterase, dopamine, serotonin, and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain. Both extracts had potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects that helped protect against imidacloprid's effects. The study recommends daily intake of Origanum majorana to protect against neuroinflammatory stress and apoptosis induced by insecticides.
