The study under consideration aims to show comparative ameliorative effect of Moringa oleifera leaf and flower extracts against sodium arsenate induced fetus toxicity of mice. Pregnant mice (N=44) were kept in lab and divided into eleven group from (A to K) and were orally administered the doses 6 mg\/kg, 12 mg\/kg for sodium arsenate, 150 mg\/kg and 300 mg\/kg for Moringa oleifera leaf extracts (MOLE) and 150 mg\/kg and 300 mg\/kg for Moringa oleifera flower extracts (MOFE) comparing with control. The investigation revealed evident reduction in the fetuses weight, hind limb, fore limb, tail and snout length, crown rump and head circumferences well as malformations in tail, feet, arms, legs, skin and eyes in the negative control group (only administered with sodium arsenate). Co-administration of sodium arsenate with MOLE and MOFE ameliorate the reversed effect of sodium arsenate on the shape, length, body weight and DNA damage of fetus significantly at 95% confidence interval. However, Moringa oleifera leaf extract showed more significant results in comparison to Moringa oleifera flower extract. Hence concluded that Moringa oleifera leaf extract ameliorated the embryo toxic effects of sodium arsenate and can be used against environmental teratogens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.248022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,27]],"date-time":"2021-08-27T12:34:20Z","timestamp":1630067660000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Amelioration potential of Moringa oleifera extracts against sodium arsenate induced embryotoxicity and genotoxicity in mouse (Mus musculus)"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"83","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1153-8589","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K.","family":"Ali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4394-6141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Iqbal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6330-9676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.
