Background: This study was aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of RSV against oxidative stress damage which we induced an experimental liver Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model in rats. Methods: Female albino rats were divided into three groups (n = 8). Contrast control group, 1 ml saline (0.09 % NaCl) administered intraperitoneally two days before operation and after reperfusion sham...

Dried powder of leaf extract of common Indian plant Moringa Oleifera of Moringaceae family was tested experimentally in albino rats in our laboratory for its antifertility activity. Cant per cent abortifacient activity was found when administered orally in aqueous solution at dose of 175 mg/kg body weight daily to Charles foster strain albino rats from days 5-10 post mated.

The neuroprotective effects of W. somnifera were studied on stressed adult female Swiss albino rats. Experimental rats were subjected to immobilization stress for 14 h and were treated with a root powder extract of W. somnifera available as Stresscom capsules (Dabur India Ltd). Control rats were maintained in completely, non stressed conditions. Thionin stained serial coronal sections (7 microm...

Background: The increase in the rate of infertility in women has prompted the need to search for plants with antifertility potentials. Objective: The effect of administration of aqueous extract of Cnidoscolous aconitifolius leaves for seven days on reproductive hormones of female Wistar rats was investigated. Materials and Methods: Sixty female albino rats were grouped into four (A, B, C and D)...

Treatment with Abana (3 g/kg/day, p.o) for 3 weeks, reduced the blood pressure of unilaterally nephrectomized DOCAsalt-treated hypertensive rats. Similar reduction in blood pressure was also observed in the CdCh (1 mg/kg/day, i.p. for two weeks) treated hypertensive rats. The pressor response to adrenaline and noradrenaline (1 and 2 μg/kg) was reduced by chronic administration of Abana in these...

Background and Aims: The study was designed to evaluate the anti-fertility effect of methanolic extract Clerodendrum serratum (MECS) on mature male rats. Methods: vehicles MECS were administered orally four groups forty albino rats consecutive days for 30 days. At end experimental period, five animals from both control given anesthesia animal reproductive organs collected evaluated by studying ...

Albino rats, both males and females were adrenalectomized (Adx.), either on the eleventh or the twenty fifth day after birth and the body weights recorded daily until the sixtieth day when all the animals were sacrificed. Brain (cerebrum and cerebellum), pituitary, thyroid and gonads were weighed post mortem. Body weights decreased in all the Adx. animals, the decrease being statistically signi...

Background: Diuretics increase urine flow and sodium excretion are used to maintain the volume composition of body fluids in a variety clinical situations Objectives: To evaluate diuretic activity alcoholic (AERMI) extract roots Mangifera indica albino rats. Methods: 5 groups Albino rats were by using metabolic cages. The group I serves as normal control received vehicle, II Furosemide (10 mg/K...

BACKGROUND Arsenic, a major pollutant of water as well as soil, is a known endocrine disruptor, and shows adverse effects on the female reproductive physiology. However, the exact molecular events leading to reproductive dysfunctions as a result of arsenic exposure are yet to be ascertained. This report evaluates the effect and mode of action of chronic oral arsenic exposure on the uterine phys...

in the present study, plumbago zeylanica linn. (plumbaginaceae) , one of the folk medicinal plants commonly used as antifertility agent was evaluated for its antifertility effect. five successive solvent extracts, petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone, ethanol and water extracts, of the stems of p. zeylanica were studied on estrous cycle at two dose levels, 200 and 400 mg/kg respectively.   of t...
