The present study was aimed to evaluate the possible ameliorative effect ofNigella sativa oil(NSO) andAstaxanthin(ASX) against Monosodium glutamate(MSG) (0.8g/Kg b.wt) induced dyslipidemia in rats. Forty eightpubertal male albino rats were divided into eight groups consisting of six each. Rats of groups 2, 3 and 4 were treated with MSG (0.8g/Kg b.wt), NSO (1ml/Kg b.wt) and ASX (25mg/Kg b.wt) or...

Influence of Riboflavin, Choline, Inositol and Niacin on the Hepatic Biosynthesis of Cholesterol of Albino Rats Kept on a High Cholesterol Diet. The influence of high dose of riboflavin, Choline, Inositol and niacin on hepatic biosynthesis of cholesterol of albino rats receiving a high cholesterol diet was studied. The animals receiving high doses of riboflavin along with a high cholesterol die...

The worldwide prevalence of diabetes has risen dramatically over the past two decades from an estimated 30 million cases in 1985 to 382 million in 2013. The traditional anti diabetic drugs have several drawbacks in long term use. Thiamine is a member of the vitamin B family. Thiamine is necessary for normal insulin synthesis and secretion. So it may be beneficial in diabetic persons where insul...

Objective(s):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-in...

The effects of Delonix regia extract (d200mg, d300mg, and d400mg), metformin (m8.3mg, m12.5mg and m16.5mg), pioglitazone (p0.5mg, p0.7mg and p0.9mg) and combined formulation of metformin and extract (m6.25d150mg) on glycated hemoglobin status in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Albino wistar rats. Diabetic status of these rats was assessed by estimating fasting blood glucose levels. A total of 1...

It is assumed that the immobility reflex (IR) evoked in adult rats by sensory stimulation does not exceed a few seconds. However, we easily achieved a longer lasting (up to 3 min or longer) immobility state in most of the tested rats when they were grasped by hand and lifted to a specific upright position. Twenty male rats originating from two different albino populations could remain immobiliz...
