Protective Effect of Scoparia dulcis on Brain and Erythrocytes

چکیده
In order to evaluate the protective effect of Scoparia dulcis L. (Scrophulariaceae), a medicinal plant known to have medico-magic power, different extracts were prepared by successive extraction with hexane (HE), chloroform (CE) and methanol (ME) and by a soaking in acetone (80%). These extracts were checked for their protective role against neuroinflammation and erythrocytes haemolysis. They exhibited a significant neuroprotective effect on both brain neuronal cells and neurotransmitter enzyme as acetylcholinesterase. By their cytoprotective ability the extracts prevented rat erythrocytes haemolysis between 56% and 83% at 300 :g/mL. These observed protective effects were related to the extracts antioxidant components.

Aqueous extract of Scoparia dulcis could significantly reduce blood sugar levels in white rats which had been previously induced with diabetes by streptozotocin. Extract was administered at doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg body weight/twice a day respectively for a period of 3 weeks. Diabetic rats had much reduced body weight than normal rats. Administration of the extracts at the dose of 250 mg/kg b...
متن کاملAntioxidant mediated response of Scoparia dulcis in noise-induced redox imbalance and immunohistochemical changes in rat brain
Noise has been regarded as an environmental/occupational stressor that causes damages to both auditory and non-auditory organs. Prolonged exposure to these mediators of stress has often resulted in detrimental effect, where oxidative/nitrosative stress plays a major role. Hence, it would be appropriate to examine the possible role of free radicals in brain discrete regions and the "antioxidants...
