SERUM BIOCHEMICAL DETERMINATIONS OF PROPOLIS-TREATED RATS

Assessment of fetoplacental function by biochemical determinations.

Serum vasoactive agents in lead-treated rats.

BACKGROUND It is still unknown whether mechanisms of the hypertensinogenic effect of lead include changes in synthesis or release of vasoactive agents. This question is essential with regard to lead dissemination in the human environment as well as to frequent occurrence of arterial hypertension. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of chronic exposure to lead on the vas...

Effecs of cypermethrin on some biochemical changes in rats: the protective role of propolis.

Twenty eight female Wistar rats weighing 150-200 g were used in this study and these animals were divided into 4 groups, each comprising 7 rats. The first group served as the control group, and groups 2, 3, and 4 were administered a single dose of 250 mg/kg.bw propolis, a single dose of 125 mg/kg.bw (1/2LD(50)) cypermethrin, and a single dose of 125 mg/kg.bw cypermethrin followed by a single do...

Effect of celery,sour apple and carrot in some of serum biochemical parameters of diabetic rats

In order to investigate the effect of celery,sour apple and carrot on some of the biochemical parameters of serum from diabetic rats,25 male adult rats were selected.the rats were divided into 5 groups.a group consisting of 5 rats were chosen as the control group and diabetes mellitus was induced in 20 out of 25 adult male albino rats using intraperitoneal injection of 170mg/kg(body weight) of ...

Hepatoprotective Effects of Propolis Extract: A Biochemical and Histopathological Approach

Hepatoprotective efficacy of propolis extract (honeybee hive product, 200 mg/kg, p.o.) was studied against carbon-tetrachloride-(CCl 4, 0.15 ml/kg, i.p.) induced biochemical and histopathological changes. Silymarin, a known hepatoprotective drug was used as a positive control. Subchronic exposure to CCl 4 for 3 weeks (5 days a week) caused sharp elevation in the activity of liver enzymes i.e...
