conclusions cornus mas fruit extract effect may be due to including some antioxidant components, which caused membrane stabilizing and normalization of fluctuated biochemical profiles induced by ccl4 exposure. our results validated the traditional use of cornus mas in the treatment of liver disorders. results oral administration of cornus mas fruits extract to rats for 14 days provided a signif...

the influence of glycosaminoglycans (gag) on collagen fibrillogenesis in vitro was investigated. gag and collagen were isolated from the liver of rats treated with carbon tetrachloride at various time intervals (3-16 weeks). it was found that gag obtained from the fibrotic liver accelerated collagen fibril formation. this effect was more evident in a solution of type i collagen than type iii co...

The feasibility of extractive reaction of methacrylic acid from aqueous solution using a quaternary amine, tri–octyl methyl ammonium chloride (TOMAC) as an extractant, was studied. The diluents chosen in the present work belong to different chemical classes, n–butyl acetate, carbon tetrachloride, isoamyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, and toluene. The effect of initial acid concentration in t...

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 biochemical mechanisms underlying the toxic effects of carbon tetrachloride on rat liver have been studied extensively (for references, see Recknagel, 1967; Slater, 1972). The earliest morphological disturbances described have concerned the endoplasmic reticulum; biochemical studies in vitro with microsomal fractions have emphasized the rapidity with which carbon tetrachloride damages many ...

Lupeol (1), epilupeol (2) and β-sitosterol (3) were isolated from the n-hexane and the carbon tetrachloride soluble fraction of a methanol extract of the leaves of Phoenix paludosa Roxb. The n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform soluble materials from the concentrated methanol extract were subjected to antimicrobial screening and brine shrimp lethality bioassay. All of the partitionates...

Pseudomonas sp. strain KC (= ATCC 55595 = DSM 7136) is a denitrifying aquifer isolate that produces and secretes pyridine-2,6-bis(thiocarboxylate) (PDTC), a chelating agent that fortuitously transforms carbon tetrachloride without producing chloroform. Although KC has been used successfully for full-scale bioremediation of carbon tetrachloride, its taxonomy has proven difficult to resolve, as i...

A ZORUB IN-BINDING CAPACITY OF SERUM ALBUMIN OF RATS SUBJECTED TO TOURNIQUET SHOCK AND TO TREATMENT WITH CARBON TETRACHLORIDE

objective(s): the objective of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of licochalcone b (lcb) in a mice model of carbon tetrachloride (ccl4)-induced liver toxicity. materials and methods: hepatotoxicity was induced in mice by a single subcutaneous injection (sc) of ccl4. the lcb was administered orally once a day for seven days (po) as pretreatment at three doses of 1, 5, and...
