In this study we tested whether the critical anatomical substrate for retinal direction selectivity is altered in albino mammals. We used dual immunostaining for GABA and choline acetyltransferase and quantitatively analyzed the number of double-labelled starburst amacrine cells in wild-type and albino rats. In albino rats, the percentage of ON-amacrine cells with high GABA content was signific...

Alcohol related health challenges have lingered over the years. Such associated with locally brewed alcoholic beverages received little attention. The urgency to explore this becomes imperative. This study aimed at evaluating effect of regular consumption local on estrous cycle and histological image ovaries uterus thus fertility female albino rats. Thirty screened rats weighing 180-220g were d...

The varied toxicity of Urginea maritima (a plant that grows in north Sinai) on Wistar albino rats was investigated. Twenty-four weighing 100±20 gm. were divided into 4 groups, the first group, which included six male rats, and second female given di-methyl sulfoxide orally for 45 consecutive days regarded as control groups. third group who received 36 mg/kg B.W (1/20 LD50 from alcoholic extract...

Hepatoprotective drugs are not available for use in modern medicine and different parts of medicinal plants like Neem (Azadirachta indica) used as hepatoprotectants traditional medicine. Although there scientific reports its hepatoprotective activity on acute administration, we found only one study which had evaluated effect chronic administration. Objectives: To evaluate the oral administratio...

Rohitakarista (RHT), a popular Ayurvedic formulation, is the preparation of Tecomella undulate with other medicinal plants. In this study, the lipid profile of rats’ plasma was studied after chronic administration of RHT usually used in the disease of spleen, abdomen and localized abdominal swelling or tumor. The animal was albino rats (Rattus novergicus: Sprague-Dawley strains) and RHT was adm...

Mallasindura (MSL) which is a classical Ayurvedic preparation of arsenical products was studied to observe its toxicological effects. This Ayurvedic drug is used in the treatment of bronchial asthma. The changes in the lipid profile parameters of rat plasma were examined after chronic administration of this drug. The animal used were albino rats (Rattus novergicus: Sprague-Dawley strains) and t...

The water extract of poochendurappattai was screened for antitumour activity at the doss of 5mg, 10mg, 20mg and 50 mg/kg body weight in rats against methylcholanthrene induced fibrosarcoma. There was 63% regression in the tumour weight at the doses of 10mg and 20 mg/kg body weight. This antitumour activity may be due to compounds like royaleanones since royaleanones are known to possess antican...

To study the effect of CGP 35348 on learning and memory in albino mice following hypoxia ischemia insult, 10 days old albino mice were subjected to right common carotid artery ligation followed by 8% hypoxia for 25 minutes. Following brain damage, mice were fed on normal rodent diet till they were 13 week old. At this time point, mice were divided into two groups. Group 1 received saline and gr...

Mesolimbic areas such as nucleus accumbens, amygdala and septal nuclei are known to influence food intake and body weight. However, the reports on gender difference in the neural regulation of obesity and energy homeostasis are incomplete. Therefore, the present study was conducted to assess the effect of lesions of nucleus septal medialis (NSM) and the gender difference of lesion on food intak...
