Histochemical Shifts in the Profile of Ovarian Dehydrogenases of Sexually Mature Cycling Females of Swiss Albino Mice Due to Sodium Fluoride Ingestion
نویسنده
چکیده
Distribution of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) in the ovary of mice treated with two chronic doses of sodium fluoride (NaF), for five days, in drinking water. LDH histochemical reactivity was observed following Hess et al., (1958) technique and SDH histochemical reactivity was obtained using the method of Nachlas et al., (1957). A decreasing trend of enzyme reactivity was observed after 5 mg/kg BW dose of NaF. A further decrease in both LDH and SDH enzyme reactivity was evident after 10 mg/kg BW. Functional relationship of these enzymes in reference to NaF damage in ovary is discussed.

Positive effects of Vitamin C in arsenic trioxide and sodium fluoride induced genotoxicity and oxidative stress in mice in vivo
The aim of the present study was to evaluate Vitamin C (VC) as a potent natural antioxidant to mitigate the genotoxic effects of Arsenic trioxide and sodium fluoride in Swiss albino mice in vivo. The study was divided into eight groups consisting of control treated with normal saline (Group I), Group II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and the VC group with only Vitamin C (500 mg/kgbw). Arsenic trioxide (4...

Bassia latifolia bud and Cajanus cajan seed were evaluated for anti-fertility activity in mature female mice. Anti-fertility activity was evaluated by observing the estrus cycle, body weight, wet weight of ovaries, steroidogenic enzymes, and substrates. Bassia latifolia bud and Cajanus cajan seed extract arrested normal oestrous cycle at dioestrous stage. The decrease in weight of ovar...

Background: Polygonum bistorta has been used as a remedy for jaundice, smallpox, pimples, measles, cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, expelling worms, insect stings and snakebites. In this study, the crude extract from P. bistorta and two fractions viz. hexane and chloroform obtained from the crude extract were studied for their median lethal dosages (LD50) in Swiss albino mice. Methods: Powdered ...

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...
