This study was carried out to investigate blood biochemical alteration in albino rats after cypermethrin treatment. Nitrogen contents of blood in the albino rats have been influenced by the amount of cypermethrin used for toxicity in the acute (1d) and sub chronic (7,14and21days) treatment in the present investigation. The free amino acid, total protein, urea, urea nitrogen, uric acid and creat...

PURPOSE To localize p53 protein and active caspase-3 in the albino rat lens and to compare p53 mRNA and active caspase-3 expression in ultraviolet radiation (UVR) 300 nm exposed lenses and their contralateral nonexposed controls. METHODS Ten Sprague-Dawley albino rats were unilaterally exposed to 8 kJ/m(2) UVR, and the contralateral eyes were left nonexposed. In total, four exposed lenses and...

Objective: To determine the regenerating effect of hyaluronic acid on circumferential bone defects in albino Wistar rats. Material and Methods: An experimental type study was designed carried out with 15 male rats, 4 months old weighing between 250 350 grams. Two 3mm diameter 0.8mm deep were created calvaria parietal (on both sides midline). One defect filled a demineralized matrix (control gro...

OBJECTIVES One cause of cigarette smoking is oxidative stress that may alter the cellular antioxidant defense system, induce apoptosis in lung tissue, inflammation and damage in liver, lung, and kidney. It has been shown that Chinese green tea (CGT) (Lung Chen Tea) has higher antioxidant property than black tea. In this paper, we will explore the preventive effect of CGT on cigarette smoke-indu...

Despite a massive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) after optic nerve crush (ONC) in hooded rats only a minor increase in retinal glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-immunoreactivity was found in the inner retina. Interestingly, a combination of ONC with the administration of the proinflammatory agent lipopolysaccharide (LPS) but not LPS alone induces increased GFAP-immunoreactivi...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of dry Moringa oleifera leaf powder in the management of anaemia in adult albino rats. The proximate, mineral, vitamin and phytochemical composition of dry M. oleifera leaf powder were analysed. Twelve adult albino rats grouped into three were used. Cyclophosphamide was used to induce anaemia into them. The percentage proximate values were protein (26.28%)...

OBJECTIVE To see the toxic effects of NSAID on kidney tissue of albino rats. METHODS For this experimental study, 16 albino rats were taken. They were divided into two groups; A and B. The animals in group-A were given Normal Saline. Group-B received Diclofenac Sodium 2 mg/kg/day by feeding tube for 14 days. On day-15 all animals were sacrificed. Kidneys were removed, fixed, embedded in paraf...

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the wound healing activity of Tribulus Terrestris Linn. (TT) fruits in swiss albino rats. The fruit body of Tribulus Terrestris rich in tannins and phenolic content. Dried fruits of Tribulus Terrestris powder were used for ointment preparation. Healthy adult swiss albino rats (18-22)g were subjected to acute toxicity studies as per OECD guideline...
