Oxidative stress induced ROS and free radicals are believed to be major cause of degenerative diseases. Naturally occurring antioxidant supplements from plants are vital to counter the oxidative damage in cells. We assessed the antioxidant potential and phytochemical constituents of crude hydro-alcoholic extract of Euphorbia neriifolia (EN) using tests involving inhibition of DPPH, H2O2, supero...

Objective:Coriandrum sativum (C. sativum) as a medicinal plant has been pointed to have analgesic, hypnotic and anti-oxidant effects. In the current study, a possible preventive effect of the hydro-alcoholic extract of the plant on neuronal damages was examined in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) rat model of seizure.Materials and Methods: Forty male rats were divided into five main groups and treated ...

Regarding the therapeutic properties of Nigella sativa (NS), the effects of the plant hydro - alcoholic extract on learning, memory and brain tissues oxidative damage were investigated in penthylenetetrazole (PTZ) - induced repeated seizures. There were 4 experimental groups including: 1- control group; received saline, 2- PTZ group ; received saline and PTZ (50 mg/Kg, i.p) , 3-PTZ- NS 200 and ...

OBJECTIVE The present study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-stress effect of the hydro-alcoholic extract of clove. METHODOLOGY The anti-stress effect was evaluated on cold restraint induced gastric ulcers, sound stress induced biochemical changes and anoxic stress induced convulsions. Clove extract was administered orally at two different doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg. Zeetress, a known anti...

objectives: diabetes mellitusmanifests itself in a wide variety of complications and the symptoms of this disease are multifactorial. previousstudies proved that this disease is directly related to hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. the aim of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of hydroalcoholic extract of prangos frulacea (l.)lindlin alloxan-induced diabeti...

objectives: this study investigates the effects of hydro-alcoholic extract of prangos ferulacea (l.) lindle (p.f) on rats' pancreas structure changes and diabetic treatment after streptozotocin injection. materials and methods: in this research forty male wistar rats with body weights of 100±20 gram, were randomly divided into 5 groups with 8 rats per each group. diabetes was induced in ra...

AIM The study was undertaken to evaluate the cardioprotective effect of the alcoholic leaf extract of Mangifera indica L. against cardiac stress caused by doxorubicin (DOX). MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats were treated with 100 mg/kg of M. indica leaf extract (MILE) in alone and interactive groups for 21 days. Apart from the normal and MILE control groups, all the groups were subjected to DOX (15 ...

Background & Aim: This study evaluated prevention effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of punica granatum Peel ethylene glycol-induced Nephrolithiasis in wistar rats. Experimental: 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups. Group I animals served as normal control (A) and received distilled water for 28 days. Group II to IV animals received 1% v/v ethylene glycol (EG) in disti...
