Sesame oil is being used a sole edible oil in South India. The aim of present study was to monitor the influence of sesame oil on blood glucose, and lipid peroxidation, antioxidants and lipid profile in the liver of control and streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats (Fifteen-week old Albino Wistar rats). Diabetes was induced in adult female albino Wistar rats weighing 180200 g by administration of ...

Objectives: To study the anti-inflammatory activity of Erythrina stricta extract in albino rats. Methods: Leaves of Erythrina stricta (ES) were extracted and subjected to Pharmacological studies. The Extract was screened for anti-inflammatory activity in albino rats using acute carrageenan paw oedema, formalin induced paw oedema and sub acute granuloma pouch model. Results: In acute phase infla...

Gastric hyperacidity and gastroduodenal ulcer is a very common global problem today. It is now generally agreed that gastric lesions develop when the delicate balance between some gastroprotective and aggressive factors are lost. The objective of present study is to evaluate the effects of omeprazole on healing of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (aspirin) induced peptic ulceration in adult ...

Spike-and-wave discharge is an electroencephalographic brainwave found in many rodent species and studied rigorously in inbred laboratory rats (WAG/Rij and GAERS strains) for its similarities to absence epilepsy. The absence epilepsy research field, however, is divided on just how similar SWD in rats is to absence epilepsy in humans. Albino Sprague Dawley rats are an outbred strain used in many...

This study investigated the toxic effects of dried pulverized Caloncoba echinata leaves on the hematology, blood biochemistry and vital organs of male albino rats. Twenty adult male rats were randomly divided into four groups of five rats each. Groups A, B and C were fed 25.00%, 15.00% and 5.00% of pulverized C. echinata leaves in feed respectively while group D was given norm...

The effect of fresh, photo-activated and distilled cow urine was examined on the hematological parameters pathogen-induced albino rats using automated analyzer. were grouped into 3 (A, B C) 2 controls; with each group containing 5 rats. Each animal induced 0.5mL Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli Salmonella typhi respectively. After 7 days infection, treated for period days. infected P. a...

In our earlier studies on CCl4 induced acute toxicity model (CCl4 3ml/kg body wt). Abhrak bhasma protects fatty degeneration of liver and associated nephrotoxicity in male albino rats. It had shown to function through production management free radicals (Teli Kanase, 2020a, b). To study further the paths Bhasma mediated protection hepatotoxicity nephrotoxicity, liver, kidney serum lipid content...

The effect of aqueous extract of Loranthus micranthus on the kidney of albino rat induced with Lead acetate on catalase activity, nitric oxide scavenging (NOS) activity and total protein was investigated. 30 albino rats were used and they were divided into 6 groups. 200 mg/kg of lead acetate was injected intraperitoneally into the rats to intoxify and the extract was administered orally as a th...

Experiments were carried out to study the effect of acetoacetate admini stration on pyridine nucleotides in liver and blood in male albino rats. Acetoacetate, when administered along with tryptophan (through diet) to tryptophan-niacin-deficient rats for twenty days, resulted in decreased pyridine nucleotide values as compared to the corresponding controls. Prolonged administration of acetoaceta...

Objective: To study the antilithiatic activity of ethanolic extract of leaves of Cissampelos pareira (EELCP) in 2% ammonium chloride (AC) and 0.75% ethylene glycol (EG) induced urolithiasis in albino rats. Methods: Kidney stones were induced in rats by feeding drinking water mixed with 2% (AC) and 0.75% (EG) for 10 days. Stones were confirmed by the increased urinary levels of calcium, uric aci...
