Chemomodulatory action of Brassica compestris (var sarason) on hepatic carcinogen metabolizing enzymes, antioxidant profiles and lipid peroxidation.

Multi drug resistance and inhibition: Is it a reality with plant based drug combinations? Effect of Mentha piperita and Brassica compestris singularly and in combination on the xenobiotic metabolism enzymes/antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation in mice

Chemomodulatory effect of Dolichos biflorus Linn. on skin and forestomach papillomagenesis in Swiss albino mice.

Effect of consumption of three different doses (2%, 4% and 6%, w/w) of Dolichos biflorus Linn. seeds on hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes, antioxidant enzymes, reduced glutathione content, lactate dehydrogenase and lipid peroxidation in Swiss albino mice has been reported. Anti-carcinogenic effect has been studied by 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA)-induced skin and benzo(a)pyrene[B(a)P]-indu...

Chemomodulatory action of Aloe vera on the profiles of enzymes associated with carcinogen metabolism and antioxidant status regulation in mice.

The effect of two doses (30 microl and 60 microl/day/mice daily for 14 days) of the fresh leaf pulp extract of Aloe vera was examined on carcinogen-metabolizing phase-I and phase-II enzymes, antioxidant enzymes, glutathione content, lactate dehydrogenase and lipid peroxidation in the liver of mice. The modulatory effect of the pulp extract was also examined on extrahepatic organs (lung, kidney ...

Cold-induced Changes of Antioxidant Enzymes Activity and Lipid Peroxidation in Two Canola (Brassica napus L.) Cultivars

This study was conducted on two canola (Brassica napus) cultivars, Okapi a winter type and cold tolerant and Rgs003 a spring type and cold sensitive. Seedlings were grown in an environmentally controlled growth room with 16 h d-1 photoperiod at 22/16 °C (day/night, control). At the 4-leaf stage, half of pots were transferred to a cold growth room for 7 d at 10/3°C (day/night, cold treatment) an...

Effects of Punica granatum Flowers on Carbohydrate Metabolizing Enzymes, Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants Status in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Rats

The mechanistic pathway for the antidiabetic efficacy of ethanolic extract of Punica granatum flowers (PgEFet) has been investigated by measuring the status of blood glucose, plasma insulin, carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes, lipid peroxidation and antioxidants as biochemical end points in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of...
