Evaluation of activity of a Herbal formulation “Pentapala 04” on the lung lipids against ova albumin and aluminium hydroxide induced lung damage in rats.

چکیده
The aqueous extract was found to be more effective on the surfactant system of lung against ova albumin and aluminium hydroxide induced lung damage in albino wistar rats. The rats were divided into 3groups of four animals each, namely group I, II and III which served as control, toxic and post treatment groups respectively. Our results showed increased Lung Body-Weight Index (LBI) and decreased lung lipid content in the toxic group of animals. But the levels of lipid content and Lung Body-Weight Index were restored in post-treated group of animals, which might be due to the protective activity of "Pentapala-04".

The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) converts the inactive angiotensin I molecule to the active angiotensin II. ACE is rich in epithelium, endothelium, and neuroepithelial cells and it found largely on the brush border of intestine and kidney proximal tubules. ACE also presents in the serum. Some pulmonary and renal toxic drugs change the serum and tissue ACE contents. In this research ACE...
