The unique characters of camel's milk make it used extensively in the field of medicine as anti-microbial, anti-diabetic and hepatoprotective agent. The lack of studies demonstrating the protective effect of camel's milk against hepatotoxic compound was the main reason beyond the conduction of the current experiment which aimed to investigate the protective effects of camel's milk against carbo...

This work was done to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract Palisota hirsuta on nephrotoxicity induced by carbontetrachloride (CCl4). Biochemical analyses were carried out determine levels creatinine, urea, total protein, chloride, carbonate using assay kits (products Randox Laboratories Crumlin and Teco Diagnostics), sodium, potassium (method Tietz,) malondialdelyde (MDA) level (thiobarbitu...

Hydrocarbons used as solvents in industry are thought to have effects on respiratory system. However, its effect on tracheal morphology and function is poorly investigated. Therefore the present study attempted to investigate the rat tracheal structure following different types and concentrations of hydrocarbon exposure. To do this, 65 Swiss albino rats were divided into 6 groups. While control...

Objective: To evaluate the hepatoprotective potential of methanol extract of roots and rhizomes of Smilax zeylanica L on carbontetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar albino rats. Methods: Hepatotoxicity was induced in Wistar albino rats of either sex by administration of CCl4 0.5 ml/kg p.o. once a day for 7 days. The methanol extract of roots and rhizomes of Smilax zeylanica L we...
