Efficacy of Phonophoresis Therapy in Freund’s Adjuvant Induced Arthritic Rats
The effect of phonophoresis was assessed using Frund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) induced arthritis in rats. Plumbago zeylanica (0.5g) root extract was prepared to obtain 0.5% gel. The animals were divided into four groups. Group I serves as normal. Group II to IV served as arthritis animals induced by FCA. Group III and IV treated with ultrasound and phonophoresis (Application of ultrasound along...
متن کاملDecrease of CD68 Synovial Macrophages in Celastrol Treated Arthritic Rats
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by cellular infiltration into the joints, hyperproliferation of synovial cells and bone damage. Available treatments for RA only induce remission in around 30% of the patients, have important adverse effects and its use is limited by their high cost. Therefore, compounds that can control arthrit...
متن کاملRegulation of testosterone production in the adjuvant-induced arthritic rat.
Serum testosterone concentrations are reduced in men with rheumatoid arthritis and in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis, a common model for rheumatoid arthritis. To understand the mechanism responsible for this reduction, testosterone production by testicular cells and Percoll-purified Leydig cells from nonarthritic and arthritic rats was studied. Leydig cells in crude interstitial cell prep...
متن کاملTesticular dysfunction in the adjuvant-induced arthritic rat.
Adjuvant-induced arthritis, an autoimmune disease similar to rheumatoid arthritis, was used to investigate possible mechanisms of immune system modulation of the reproductive system. This laboratory previously reported that arthritic male rats have reduced serum testosterone and elevated serum LH concentrations. In the experiments described here, serum prolactin levels were not significantly di...
متن کاملGlycaemic evaluation of Psidium guajava in rats.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Many plant polysaccharides exhibit hypoglycaemic effect. Though the fruit of Psidium guajava is known to contain free sugars, the fruit extract showed hypoglycaemic effect in alloxan treated mice and human subjects. The present study was aimed to determine the glycaemic potential of P. guajava fruit peel extract on blood glucose level (BGL) of normal and streptozotocinind...
