Channa striatus has been consumed for decades as a remedy to promote wound healing by women during postpartum period. The objectives of this study were to compare postoperative pain, wound healing based on wound evaluation scale (WES), wound cosmetic appearance based on visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and patient satisfaction score (PSS), and safety profiles between C. striatus group and pla...

Effects of oral administration of Channa striatus extract were evaluated in rabbits with experimentally-induced osteoarthritis (OA) in a stifle joint. Changes after the treatment were evaluated by radiography, and innervation of the synovial membranes was assessed by immunohistochemistry. There was a significant reduction in soft tissue swelling observed in radiographs for treated animals 9 wee...

The present investigation has been conducted to understand the hazardous effect of sublethal concentration of cadmium chloride solution (0.8ppm on the histology of the liver of the fish Channa striatus for a period of 45 days. The histopathological changes induced in the liver were cytoplasmic vacuolization of the hepatocytes, blood vessel congestion, inflammatory leucocytic infiltration and ne...

Abstract Fish is generally appreciated as one of the healthiest and cheapest source of protein and it has amino acid compositions that are higher in cysteine than most other sources of protein. Heavy metals are natural trace components of the aquatic environment but their levels have increased due to industrial wastes, geochemical structure, agricultural and mining activities. All these sources...

This study was designed in such a way to assess the toxicity effect of 2,4D (Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) pesticide in fish physiology and its antioxidant stress. Channa striatus fish were administered with two different doses compensation of 2,4-D pesticide of 100 and 200 mg/kg. After a matter of time interval the effect of 2,4-D on fish behavior and its toxic level was determined by assessing ...
