The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Couroupita guianensis against CCL4 induced liver damage in rats. Anti-oxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and hydrogen peroxide scavenging. Ascorbic acid was used as the standard antioxidants for comparison. Healthy male Wistar albino rats of either sex (150...

The present study has been designed to find out the effects of forced swimming-induced oxidative stress imposition on primary and secondary sex organs and its protection by plant extract in male Wistar strain rats. This work has been designed to find out the scientific basis of the local use of the composite extract of root of Withania somnifera, leaf of Ocimum sanctum and rhizome of Zingiber o...

Biochemical analysis of serum enzymes (SGPT, SGOT, LDH) and serum electrolytes (Na, K, Ca and Mg) were recorded. A total of 50 serum samples from cases of pregnant and aborted women were collected at random. On the basis of serological examination of serum samples, Toxoplasma gondii positive at 1/16 dilution (Group A), T. gondii positive at 1/256 dilution (Group B) and T. gondii negative (Group...

Oxidative stress induced by mercuric chloride (5 mg/kg body weight i.p.) in mice substantially increases the lipid peroxidation level along with corresponding decrease in the reduced glutathione and various antioxidant enzymes in liver and increase in serum transaminases activity. Supplementation of Spirulina (800 mg/kg body weight orally, in olive oil, along with mercuric chloride) for 40 days...

The use of organophosphate pesticides in developing countries is already widespread and can contaminate animal feed or human food ingredients which has an impact on liver damage other organs. seaweed containing polyphenols as a hepatoprotector for poisoning not been widely used by the public. purpose this study was to determine potential extract organophosphate-induced rabbits seen from serum g...
