Background: Hepatic dysfunction in the cancer Dept has a significant impact on patient outcomes. The therapeutic application of Anthracycline antibiotics is limited by side-effects mainly chronic Cardiotoxicity, Myelosuppression, and Hepatotoxicity. Aim: To Analyse the risk of Hepatotoxicity in Breast cancer patients receiving Inj. Doxorubicin. Subjects and Methods: The investigation was a pros...

Oxidative stresses are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications which may either cause direct pancreatic beta-cell damage or lead to metabolic abnormalities that can induce or aggravate diabetes. The valuable effect of antioxidant nutrients on the glycemic control of diabetic patients has been reported in experimental and clinical studies. The present study was desi...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the hepatoprotective effects of the methanolic seed extract of Eugenia jambolana Lam. (Myrtaceae), in Wistar albino rats treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)). MATERIALS AND METHODS Liver damage in rats treated with CCl(4) (1ml/kg/Bw, administered subcutaneously, on alternate days for one week) was studied by assessing parameters such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate...

The study was performed to assess and compare the hepatoprotective activities of Tamarind indica and Homalomena aromatica in acute and chronic animal models. In this study, animals were divided into 5 groups containing 6 rats in each group. Carbon tetrachloride was used to induce liver injury in rats and Silymarin was used as the standard drug. The estimation of liver weight and blood parameter...

Forty-three women who had viral hepatitis one or more years ago and 35 healthy women who were age and parity matched were given an oral contraceptive containing 0.05mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.5mg levonorgestrel for six consecutive months. Liver function tests (serum bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT and serum alkaline phosphatase) and serum proteins (total, albumin, globulins, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin an...

BACKGROUND Inspite of introduction of oral hypoglycemic agents, diabetes and its related complications remains to be a major clinical problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant activities of Grewia asiatica (Linn) stem bark in alloxan induced diabetic rats. METHODS Diabetes was induced by a single dose of intraperitoneal injection of...

BACKGROUND The development of drug delivery systems has improved the therapeutic and toxic properties of existing drugs in therapy. Microemulsion systems are novel vehicles for drug delivery, which have been developed in recent years. These systems are currently of interest to the pharmaceutical scientist because of their considerable potential to act as drug delivery vehicles by incorporating ...

The experiment was performed on 25 adult mice, (Swiss albino), weighing about 25 gm, maintained on standard pellet diet and drinking water ad libitum. All the mice were randomly divided into five equal groups (5x5). Each group comprised of five mice was marked as group A, B, C, D and E. In the present study an attempt has been taken to study the effect of Garlic and vitamin B-complex in lead in...

objective(s):the present study investigated the antidiabetic and hypolipidemic properties of dorema aucheri leave hydroalcoholic extract in nicotinamide-streptozotocin induced type 2 diabetic rats. materials and methods: nicotinamide/streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were supplemented orally with three different doses of d.  aucheri (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg bw) or glibenclamide (0.25 mg/kg) f...
