OBJECTIVE Extensive use of mobile phones has been accompanied by a common public debate about possible adverse effects on human health. No study has been published so far to establish any association between the fastest growing innovation of mobile phone and fasting blood glucose. The aim was to determine the effects of exposure to electromagnetic field radiation generated by mobile phones on f...

The renal- and hepato-toxicity induced by abamectin pesticide (Vertimec) and a commercial form of a bio-insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis (Agerin) in male albino rats were evaluated. Blood picture and blood glucose level were investigated. Male albino rats were administered dietary doses each equivalent to 1/10 or 1/100 of the LD50 values of each toxicant for 30 consecutive days. Abamectin was...

That the reaction of the intestinal contents may be an important factor in certain abnormalities of inorganic metabolism is evident from the researches of several workers. Zucker and Matzner (41) and, later, Jephcott and Bacharach (16), found that the feces of albino rats were alkaline under a rachitic regime, but were acid normally and with a rickets-producing diet plus curative procedures. Ab...

Aim of the study is to investigate the Nephroprotective activity of ethanolic extract taken from Melia azadirachta leaves, against APAP (Acetaminophen) induced nephrotoxicity. The phytochemical screening was carried out on the leaf extracts of Melia azadirachta, revealed the presence of active ingredients such as Phytol, Squalene, Oleic Acid, 2-Piperidinone, N-[4-bromo-n-butyl]. Leaves of Melia...

The effect of oral administration of 20% alcohol (10 ml/kg BW) on haematological and reproductive parameters in female albino rats were investigated. The alcohol was orally administered for 30 days for haematological study, but administered orally for 21 days for estrous cycle study. Treatment of rats with 10 ml/kg BW of alcohol caused significant (p<0.05) reductions in the RBC and lymphocyte c...

The present study investigated the nephrotoxic effect of aqueous extract Dialium guineense stem bark in normal Wistar albino rats. Thirty-five male rats were used. Graded doses ranging from 200 to 5000 mg/kg body weight, bwt, administered test daily for twenty-eight days. control received distilled water. Thereafter plasma levels creatinine, urea, electrolytes and urease activity determined. Th...

The present study used 20 albino rats that distributed randomly to five groups (each group contain 4 rats), the first was control administrated only normal diet and water, second with lead-acetate for four weeks, third six fourth weeks then, treated 1ml root extract 15 days, fifth days. ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin creatinine levels were increased while albumin decreased showed high significant cha...

The effect of daily oral administration of flumethrin on the tissue enzyme activity on albino rats was investigated. In the present study twenty albino Wister rats were used and divided into two groups. The first group (10 rats) served as the control group; the second group (10 rats) both male and female received flumethrin (1% pour on formulation) at the rate of 5 mg/kg bw orally daily for 14 ...

Food intake triggers convulsions in fasted BALB/c mice and Wistar albino rats treated with antimuscarinic drugs, scopolamine or atropine. Inbred strain studies have yielded considerable information regarding genetic influences on seizure susceptibility and factors contribute to epileptogenesis in rodents. This study, therefore, investigated sensitivity to antimuscarinic-induced seizures in C57B...
