The ethanolic extract of Ficus carica leaves was screened for hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity in hepatotoxic Albino rats induced via carbon tetrachloride. The degree of protection was measured by estimating biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), total protein (TP), total albumin (TA), alkaline phos...

the ethanolic extract of ficus carica leaves was screened for hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity in hepatotoxic albino rats induced via carbon tetrachloride. the degree of protection was measured by estimating biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (sgot), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (sgpt), total protein (tp), total albumin (ta), alkaline phos...

Plant essential oils and their constituents have proven to be very effective against insects, especially termites. They are the best alternative synthetic pesticides that harmless environment human health. In present study, different enzymes, namely alkaline phosphatase, acid glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate-pyruvate transaminase acetylcholinesterase, were evaluated in Indian term...

This study describes the use of in vivo magnetic resonance spectrocopy (MRS) to monitor brain glutamate and lactate levels in a paraoxon (PO) intoxication model. Our results show that the administration of recombinant glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (rGOT) in combination with oxaloacetate (OxAc) significantly reduces the brain-accumulated levels of glutamate. Previously we have shown that t...

The antiulcer effect of Semicarpus anacardium Linn. seed extracts was investigated against aspirin plus pylorus ligation induced and ethanol induced gastric ulcers in rats. Both the models revealed ulcer healing property of the seed extracts. The present investigation also revealed the hepatoprotective activity of the seed extracts, against ethanol induced hepatotoxicity. Histopathological stud...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the hepatoprotective role of leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. Hepatoprotective activities of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of A. indica were examined against carbon tetrachloride induced liver damage in mice using silymarin as control. Enzyme activities of Serum Glutamate Oxaloacetate Transaminase (SGOT), Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transa...

Serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities increased significantly in rats restrained (RS) for 1 hour and exposed to force swimming exercise (FS) for 15min after an interval of 4 h thereby indicating tissue damage due to stress. The results further reveal that after initial stress exposure rats do respond t...

Protective role of Gycyrrhiza glabra rhizomes (roots) at three dose levels (100, 75, & 50 mg/kg/bw) against sublethaldose (300 mg/kg/bw) of acetaminophen (paracetamol) induced hepatorenal damage has been assessed in mice. Parameters of study were glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), billirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as liver function tests, crea...

Protective action of Livol (a herbal formulation) against paracetamol induced experimental hepatotoxicity was observed in dog. Increased values of serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase, serum total cholesterol and its fractions, globulin, icterus index, prothrombin time and bromosulphalein retention by paracetamol (250 mg/kg, once orally) were decrease...
