Black cumin seed oil increase leucocyte and CD4Thelper number in sprague-dawley rats induced with dimethylbenzanthracene

Post-treatment with Telfairia occidentalis seed oil attenuates alcohol-induced testicular damage in Sprague-Dawley rats

BACKGROUND Long term alcohol use has been implicated in men with sexual disorders including suppression of testosterone levels as well as testicular morphological changes. OBJECTIVE This research investigated the ability of Telfairia occidentalis (T.O.) to attenuate the damaging effects of alcohol on the testicular parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats, 170-190 g...

Deodorizing Substance in Black Cumin (Nigella sativa L.) Seed Oil.

A deodorizing substance in black cumin (Nigella sativa L.), a spice for curry and vegetable foods in Southwest Asia, was examined. The essential oil prepared from the seeds of this plant exhibited strong deodorizing activity against methyl mercaptan, which is a main factor in oral malodor. After purification with silica gel column chromatography, the active substance in black cumin seed oil was...

Experimental therapeutic investigations with 1-(morpholinomethyl)-4-phthalimido-piperidindione-2,6 on dimethylbenzanthracene-induced tumors of Sprague-Dawley rats.

Callosal oligodendrocyte number in postpartum Sprague-Dawley rats.

Prolactin (PRL), an anterior pituitary hormone with neurogenic properties associated with pregnancy, has been implicated in oligodendrocyte proliferation during gestation, contributing to increased myelination in the maternal brain. However, PRL is elevated during lactation as well, suggesting that the postpartum (PP) period may contribute to additional gliogenesis in lactating females. In the ...
