Trihalomethanes, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,2-dibromoethane, chlorinated benzenes, ethylbenzene, and naphthalene at concentrations commonly found in surface and groundwater were incubated under anoxic conditions to study their transformability in the presence of denitrifying bacteria. None of the aromatic compounds showed significant utilization relative to sterile controls ...

Adiantum capillus (AC) Linn (Family: Adiantaceae) commonly known as “Hansraj” It is used in common cold, cough, pyrexia inflammation, acts purgative. improves digestion and renal function. This study was performed to investigate the hepato-defensive potential of contradiction carbon tetrachloride tempted hepatic damage rats. The rodents were dosed with Acetonic extract (AEAC, 500mg/kg) against ...

the present study appraised the hepatoprotective activity of aqueous extract of camellia sinensis leaves and its possible mechanism of action against carbon-tetrachloride-induced liver damage. liver damage was induced by   intraperitoneal administration of equal mixture of carbon tetrachloride   and olive oil (50 % v/v, 0.5 ml/kg ) in male wistar rats (150-220g) once daily for 7 days and the ex...

The present study determines the efficacy of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on marker enzymes, lipid peroxidation and antioxidants in carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) (3 mL/kg/week) administered subcutaneously to albino Wistar rats for a period of three months significantly increased the activities of marker enzymes in plasma such as aspartate transamina...

Apteranthes europaea (Guss.) Murb. subsp. maroccana (Hook.f.) Plowes (A. europaea) is a medicinal plant widely used in traditional medicines to treat various diseases including hepatic pathogenesis. This study was conducted evaluate the protective effect of chemically characterized polyphenol-rich fraction from A. on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury mice. The chemical characterization ...

ASZMT (Cu, Ag, Zn, Mo, TEDA impregnated) carbon was prepared by impregnation of active carbon with ammonical salts of Cu (II), Ag (I), Zn (II), Mo (VI) and TEDA using incipient wetness technique. Thereafter, ASZMT carbon was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and surface characterization techniques. The ASZMT carbon was evaluated u...

In the very extensive use of carbon tetrachloride in the treatment of hookworm disease, a few cases in each million have died. One or two of these deaths have followed the drinking of alcohol after treatment, and alcohol has been shown both in the field and experimentally (1) to increase the toxicity of carbon tetrachloride. Carbon tetrachloride produces severe central necrosis of the liver sim...

BACKGROUND Materials can cause liver and kidney damage which carbon tetrachloride is one of these substances. Medicinal plants and their essential oils and extracts have been used to a large extent as drugs to better control and management of kidney diseases. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of Avicennia marina leaves in the treatment o...

background: chemical toxins are among the leading causes of liver disorders, inflammation and necrosis in hepatocytes. the aim of this study was to evaluate of protective effect of hydroalcoholic extract from rhizome of zingiber officinale l. (hez) on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic injury in male rat. material and methods: in this experimental studymale wistar rats (n=35, body weight 230-...
