Cassia auriculata and Aegle marmelos are used extensively in the indigenous system of medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. The current investigation focuses on the serum insulin augmentation, anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hyperlipidemic property of a combined aqueous extracts of C.auriculata and A.marmelos on streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. The diabetes induced animals were fed with plant ex...

Allamanda violacea is an ornamental plant of the genus Allamanda belongs to family Apocynaceae. Different flower extracts of the plant have been reported to possess anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-hyperglycemic and anti-oxidant activities. Present study deals with the identification of phytochemical constituents of the petroleum ether (pet ether) and chloroform extract by GC-MS analysis, and the cons...

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the changes and underlying mechanisms of erectile organ structure and function in hyperlipidemic rats. Materials and Methods: Sixteen male rats were fed a normal diet to serve as controls, and the other sixteen rats were induced to develop hyperlipidemia with a high fat diet. After 4 months, the penile tissues were harvested and assessed for smo...

BACKGROUND Based on the observation that ultrasmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxides (USPIOs) are phagocytosed by cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system, the purpose of this study was to evaluate their use as a marker of atherosclerosis-associated inflammatory changes in the vessel wall before luminal narrowing is present. METHODS AND RESULTS Experiments were conducted on 6 heri...

The present study was carried out in rats to test the efficacy of aqueous combined extract of E.jambolana and A .marmelos on serum insulin, hyperglycemia and serum lipid profile changes associated with diabetes. Eugenia jambolana and Aegle marmelos are used extensively in the indigenous system of medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. The current investigation focuses on the serum insulin augmenta...
