Abstract

The current study aimed to explore the genotoxic impacts of the insecticide acetamiprid (ACP) on the myocardium and assess the ameliorative role of resveratrol (RSV). Male rats (10/group) were treated via oral route for 90 days: control; ACP (25 mg/kg); RSV (20 mg/kg); ACP+RSV. Peripheral blood micronucleus test, oxidative stress analysis, comet assay, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and gene expression assessment were performed. The findings revealed that ACP has myocardial genotoxic effects, as demonstrated by increased micronucleus and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine formation and increased all comet parameters. Oxidative stress analysis demonstrated that ACP elevated H2O2 and NO levels while decreasing catalase and GST activities. Acetamiprid dysregulated the expression of genes related to oxidative stress and DNA damage response. However, RSV co-treatment resulted in significant protection against these genotoxic impacts. Resveratrol reduced DNA damage and restored the oxidative balance in the myocardium. Moreover, RSV modulated the Nrf2/HO-1 and Atm/P53 pathways, potentiating antioxidant defense and DNA repair.
