the disposition and cellular organization of the endocrine pancreas were studied in three species of freshwater teleosts viz., labeo bata (hamilton, 1822), sperata aor (hamilton, 1822) and chitala chitala (hamilton, 1822) using histological techniques. in l. bata, the endocrine pancreas tissues were mainly distributed in the adipose tissue among the intestinal coils and adjacent to extrahepatic...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the antidiabetic and renal protective effect of Momordica dioica extract (MDMtE) in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. MDMtE treatment markedly reduced serum glucose, increased serum insulin and urea levels. Study results indicated that the antioxidant enzyme activity of kidney was increased, while thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were r...

Short-term hyperthyroidism, induced by daily administration of T3 (20 microg/100g body weight) for one, three, and five days consecutively, modulates oxidative stress and antioxidant defence parameters in mitochondrial and postmitochondrial fractions of testis in adult rats. Alteration in antioxidant defences along with oxidative stress parameters in testis by thyroid hormone was found to be as...

The present study was aimed to study the effects of hyperlipidaemia on the histology of various reproductive organs. The chronic oral administration of cholesterol diet (400 mg/kg bodyweight/day for 60 day) induced hyperlipidaemia in male rabbits. It showed severe degeneration in germinal epithelium. Few spermatocytes could be seen, but the number was decreased. The seminiferous tubules were wa...

Abstract Objective This study was aimed at determining the nephroprotective potential of Sphaeranthus indicus Linn methanol extract (SME) against hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic nephropathy (DNP) adult Wistar albino rats. Materials Methods Following STZ-induced diabetes, rats either sex with serum glucose level more than 250 mg/dL were chosen randomized i...

Stress has been associated with various diseases such as harms the heart system, nervous system, affect the level of hormone, but also morphology and function of testis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate protective properties of Nymphaea lotus (N. lotus), against deleterious effects induced by unpredictable chronic mild stress (CMS) on testes of albino male rats. Adult male Wi...
