The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of curcumin and quercetin in modulating ultrastructural changes during lung carcinogenesis. A total of 24 male laka mice were divided into the normal control, benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-treated, BP+curcumin-treated, BP+quercetin- treated, and BP+curcumin+quercetin-treated groups (n=6 per group). Lung carcinogenesis was induced by a single i...

introduction: therapeutic strategies such as chemotherapy can affect gonadal adipose depots. the present study was conducted to assess stereological, morphometric and morphological changes in mouse testicular histoarchitecture structure following bilateral epididymal white adipose tissue lipectomy (biewatx) methods: in this experimental study, adult male mice were divided into three equal group...

ABSTRCT Toxic effects of beryllium salts on the reproductive organs of cyclic adult female albino rats have been studied. An attempt was made to overcome these effects using an Ayurvedic medicine Liv.52 (The Himalaya Drug Co., Bombay). Liv.52-primed rats (1 mL/rat/day for 15 days) were exposed to beryllium nitrate intravenously and were sacrificed at different time intervals. At autopsy ovary, ...

The present study reports protective effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of Luffa acutangula (HAELA) on doxorubicin (DXR) induced cardio and nephrotoxicity in mice by studying various serum biomarkers, antioxidants in target organs and histoarchitecture alterations. Pretreatment with HAELA reversed significantly the elevated serum biomarkers, alanine amino transferase, lactate dehydrogenase and c...

the cellular organization of the olfactory epithelium of puntius sarana (hamilton, 1822) was explored by means of optical and scanning electron microscopy. the oval shaped olfactory rosette was composed of 26-28 primary lamellae distributed from both sides of the central raphe. the sensory epithelium confined chiefly on the linguiform processes of the lamella and rest of the portion consisted o...

the histological analysis, disposition and histochemical localization of tryptophan were investigated in the pancreas to compare the cellular organization and histochemical characterization in the pancreas of labeo rohita (hamilton, 1822), mystus vittatus (bloch, 1790) and notopterus notopterus (pallas, 1769) having different feeding habits. histological analysis demonstrated that the exocrine ...
