چکیده
ABSTRCT Toxic effects of beryllium salts on the reproductive organs of cyclic adult female albino rats have been studied. An attempt was made to overcome these effects using an Ayurvedic medicine Liv.52 (The Himalaya Drug Co., Bombay). Liv.52-primed rats (1 mL/rat/day for 15 days) were exposed to beryllium nitrate intravenously and were sacrificed at different time intervals. At autopsy ovary, uterus, cervix, and vagina were processed for biochemical and histopathologic examination. Histoarchitecture of the ovary, uterus, cervix and vagina revealed severe necrotic changes with beryllium nitrate treatment. Tissue glycogen content and the activity of alkaline phosphatase were inhibited significantly after beryllium treatment. Total and esterified cholesterol levels increased significantly in these organs when exposed to beryllium salts. However, a significant improvement was observed in the biochemical parameters and histoarchitecture of these organs when beryllium was injected into Liv.52-primed animals.

متن کاملDifferential follicle counts as a screen for chemically induced ovarian toxicity in mice: results from continuous breeding bioassays.
Ovaries from National Toxicology Program Reproductive Assessment by Continuous Breeding (RACB) bioassays were used to directly compare differential ovarian follicle counts and reproductive performance for 15 chemicals. Ovaries of 10 animals per group from 16 studies in CD-1 mice and 1 study each in C3H and C57BL/6 mice were sectioned serially at 6 microm. Counts of small, growing, and antral fo...
متن کاملOptical spectroscopy of solute lead in NaCl:Sr crystals
The optical spectroscopy (absorption and luminescence) of a small concentration of lead (-10 ppm) incorporated into a NaC1:Sr crystal, containing a relatively higher concentration of Sr (-350 ppm), has been investigated. For samples annealed at room temperature after quenching, two overlapping absorption bands at 255 and 260 nm grow at the expenses of the A band typical of dissolved Pb +. For h...
