Background: Brain is the most important organ as it controls and co- ordinates all the activities of our body. Reports on neuroethological investigations in mice particularly associated with learning and memory after radiation exposure are very scanty. Hence, present investigation is an attempt to examine the effects of low dose tritiated water (HTO) acute exposure on adult Swiss albino mice in...

Therefore the search is on to find out natural plant based radioprotectors. A well known medi...

Acid phosphatase activity increases above normal in the liver of whole body irradiated animals. It is considered to be one of the adverse radiation effects. Increase in the acid phosphatase activity was dose dependent. Centella asiatica extract, which increased the survival of gamma irradiated Swiss albino mouse when given prior to irradiation was tested to observe changes in the acid phosphata...

the aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of leaves of leptadenia reticulata leaves (lelr) against dalton’s ascitic lymphoma (dal) in swiss albino mice. dal cells were injected intraperitoneally (106 cells/mouse) to the mice. two days after cells injection the animals were treated with 200 mg/kg of lelr for 8 days. five-fluorouracil (20 mg/kg) was used as refer...

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the antioxidant and proliferative effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Symphytum officinale. Antioxidant activities of extracts were determined by 2,2diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, superoxide radical scavenging and Folin-Ciocalteu assays. Proliferative effects of the extracts were evaluated on 3T3 Swiss albino mouse fibro...
