The in vivo protective role of hydro-methanolic root extract of Withania somnifera (WS) was evaluated in alleviating lead nitrate (LN)-induced toxicity in male Swiss albino mice by measuring hematoserological profiles. The lead-treated (20 mg/kg body wt, p.o.) albino mice (25-30 g) concurrently received the root extract (200 and 500 mg/kg body wt, p.o.) once daily for the duration of six weeks....

Objective: The goal of this study is to find out how Fragaria Ananassa (strawberries) affects serotonin levels and mouse immobility duration during the different tests performed in mice evaluate antidepressant effects FragariaAnanassa. Methods: Antidepressant compared with Standard drugs by performing a Forced Swim Test Tail Suspension on albino mice. was administered two distinct groups animal...

The effect of the carbamate insecticide "carbofuran" on testes of male albino mice and the possible protective role of vitamin C against the insecticide toxicity was assessed. Treating mice with carbofuran for 8 weeks induced a significant decrease in the diameters and germinal epithelial heights of the seminiferous tubules. The histological evidence showed inhibition of spermatogenesis. There ...

Alloparenting, a behavior in which individuals other than the actual parents act in a parental role, is seen in many mammals, including house mice. In wild house mice, alloparental care is only seen when familiar sibling females simultaneously immigrate to a male's territory, so in the laboratory, when a pair of unfamiliar female wild mice are mated with a male, alloparenting does not occur bec...

A narcotic or a non-narcotic analgesic that would not cause respiratory depression and addiction in may be used as an alternative to morphine. In Ayurveda a large number of indigenous drugs have been mentioned possessing the analgesic properties e.g Guggul, Erand, Rasna, Bhringaraja, Methika, palandu and prasikayavani. Total alcoholic extracts of Bhringaraja (Eclipta alba) was undertaken to stu...

Intraperitoneal inoculation of mouse K papovavirus into infant (2 to 4 days old) Swiss albino mice produced a high-titered viremia which persisted until death due to pneumonitis on day 9 postinfection. Lungs and livers of these mice had virus-specific immunofluorescence and histological lesions. K-virus antibody was undetectable. Three- to four-week-old mice, although as susceptible to infectio...

Abstract The aim of the current study was to evaluate therapeutic potentials Hydroxyquinoline Sulfanilamide (HSM) for Alzheimer’s disease in a mice model Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. antioxidant analysis brain homogenates carried out by catalase (CAT) assay, reduced glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) assay. Biochemical blood plasma conducted peroxidase (POD) assay superoxi...

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common degenerative disorders ageing brain. Currently, there no cure for PD and available treatments only aim to reverse dopamine deficiency relieve its symptoms. Caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS) believed help in relieving motor symptoms PD. Hence, present study planned evaluate effect CVS on behavioral changes Mice. Methods: Twenty-fo...
