Possible neuropharmacological effects of Adenia trilobata (Roxb.) in the Swiss albino mice model

Effects of Radiation on the Protein and DNA Content in Genistein Treated Swiss Albino Mice

      Genistein is a soya isoflavone, which is found naturally in legumes, such as soybeans and chickpeas. The intraperitoneal administration of the optimum dose (200 mg/kg) of genistein 24 h and 15 minbefore irradiation (8 Gy at a dose rate of 1.02 Gy/min) recovered the deficit in protein content (28.63±1.44%) and the DNA content (21.61±8.19%) if an average of 5 intervals of autopsies 1st...

Post-treatment effects of Alstonia scholaris extract against radiation-induced biochemical alterations in Swiss albino mice

Background: This study has been undertaken to find out the possible radioprotective potential of the Alstonia scholaris extract (ASE). Materials and Methods: For experimental study, healthy Swiss albino male mice were selected from an inbred colony and divided in four groups. Group I (normal) did not receive any treatment. Group II was orally supplemented ASE once daily at the dose of ...

Evaluation of Cytogenetic Effects of -Cyfluthrin in Swiss Albino Mice

Worldwide application of pesticides is increasing continually to the extent that they have become an integral part of the ecosystem. Approximately 5.6 billion pounds of active pesticide ingredients are used annually throughout the world (USEPA, 2001). Post market surveillance has revealed that as many as 25 million agricultural workers worldwide experience unintentional pesticide poisoning each...

Analgesic and neuropharmacological activities of the ethanolic extract of leaves of Kalanchoe pinnata (Lam.)Pers. in Swiss Albino mice

Radioprotective Efficacy of Lutein in Ameliorating Electron Beam Radiation-induced Oxidative Injury in Swiss Albino Mice

Background: Lutein, a carotenoid compound, has previously been studied for its antioxidant and medicinal properties as well as the moderate protection it confers against gamma radiation. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of lutein against radiation-induced hematological and biochemical changes in mice.Methods: The optimized dose of the compound was orally administered for 15 days, and ...
