ArticleItem Open Access Antioxidant Status in Curcumin Treated Rats in Experimental Mammary Carcinogenesis(Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, 2014-07) Jalantha, P.; Balachandran, C.; Pazhanivel, N.; TANUVASThe present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of curcumin on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant levels in DMBA (7, 12 Diemthyl Benanthracene) induced mammary carcinogenesis in rats. Twenty four Sprague-Dawley rats were equally distributed to control, DMBA, Tamoxifen (Standard drug) and curcumin groups. DMBA group showed significant (P<0.05) increase in lipid peroxidation and antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) levels besides reduced glutathione (GSH). Whereas, curcumin and Tamoxifen treated groups did not show any significant difference in lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status when compared to the control. Selective growth advantage of tumour cells was evident in the DMBA group and curcumin was able to prevent lipid peroxidation.OtherItem Open Access Application of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Latex Agglutination Test (LAT) in the Diagnosis of Hydatidosis in Small Ruminants(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2007-08) Sangaran, A.; Sivaranjani, S.; Ilakkiya, B.; Jalantha, P.; John, LalithaArticleItem Open Access Aspiration Pneumonia in a Macaw (Ara Ararauna)(Indian Veterinary Journal, 2013-02) Thangapandiyan, M.; Jalantha, P.; Mohanapriya, T.; Sachin, D.

This is a case report of uterine torsion in an adult Wistar Albino breeder. The rat was in advanced stage of gestation with no overt signs of illness. The rat was found dead with distended abdomen and four dead pups beside her in her cage. On post mortem examination, 270o uterine torsion was observed in left uterine horn in between the two dead foetuses present and there was a 360º torsion between the caudal foetus and the cervix. One dead fetus was observed in right uterine horn. Uterine torsion in this case was attributed to the foetus-maternal disproportion. Occlusion of uterine blood vessels leads to extensive uterine damage and consequent sequestration of blood to uterus might have resulted in hypovolemic shock and death of the rat. Being a rare condition in rats, uterine torsion should always be considered as a complication in parturition.ArticleItem Open Access Cavernous Haemangioma in a Dog - A Case Report(Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2014) Balachandran, C.; Pazhanivel, N.; Baranidharan, G.R.; Jalantha, P.; Sridhar, R.; TANUVASThe present communication puts on record a case of cavernous haemangioma in the chest region of a three-year-old male dog of Rajapalayam breed.ArticleItem Open Access Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma in a Dog(Indian Veterinary Journal, 2013-09) Balachandran, C.; Pazhanivel, N.; Baranidharan, G.R.; Jalantha, P.; Sridhar, R.; TANUVASA case of cutaneous malignant melanoma was reported in a dog.OtherItem Open Access Effect Of Feeding Different Levels Of Crude Protein On Growth Performance Of Kadakanath Chicks During Summer Months(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2018-12) Radhakrishnan, L.; Nanthini, A.

Remedies are sought by eminent scientists throughout the world from various sources of available medicine. The search for the efficient drug candidate to combat the dreaded pandemic is still on. Caesalpinia sappan Linn. is a common medicinal herb having various medicinal properties like cytotoxic, antitumorigenic, anticoagulant, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, immunostimulant, and hepatoprotective properties. In this study, a few promising phyto constituents of C. sappan were chosen and their effects against the important disease-causing protein receptors of SARS CoV-2 were studied in silico. Phytoconstituents of Caesalpinia sappan (Caesalpin J, Deoxysappanone B, Methylepisappanol, Methylsappanol, Quercetin) expressed superior or equivalent binding affinity against the three chosen receptors of SARS CoV-2 namely spike glycoprotein, main protease, and RNA dependent RNA polymerase. Hence, necessary in vivo studies may be undertaken to evaluate the antiviral properties of C. sappan against SARS CoV-2.ArticleItem Open Access Haemato-Biochemical Changes in Curcumin Treated Sprague-Dawley Rats in Experimental Mammary Carcinogenesis(Indian Veterinary Journal, 2014-08) Jalantha, P.; Balachandran, C.; TANUVASArticleItem Open Access Hair dye as a choice of laboratory rodent animal identification method in experimental research(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2020-05) Jalantha, P.; Ramesh, S.; Rajendran, R.; TANUVASLaboratory animal identification is a routine, but an important aspect in experimental research. To study the efficiency of a commercial human hair dye as a choice of animal identification method, twenty female Wistar albino rats in the breeding unit of Laboratory Animal Medicine unit were used. Ten rats were identified with conventional potassium permanganate dye and another ten were identified using commercially available hair dye and the persistence of dye was observed for a period of three months. Potassium permanganate dye persisted for a period of only four weeks whereas commercial hair dye persisted for a period of 12 weeks. In both the groups, no adverse effect towards the dye was observed. From this observation, it shall be concluded that commercial hair dye can be used as easy, cost effective, single application and long-standing identification method in animal research lasting up to 3 months period.ArticleItem Open Access Phytochemical Analysis of Crataevareligiosa(Indian Veterinary Association, 2018-12) Jaikanth, C.M.; Sesh, P.S.L.; Jalantha, P.; Anandkumar, C.

Vet. Pathol.,, 2022-07) Pazhanivel, N.; Krishnaveni, P.; Niranjana, C.; Shafiuzama, M.; Jalantha, P.; Rao, Ganne Venkata Sudhakar; TANUVASMeningiomas are the common central nervous system tumors seen in dogs. There are nine histological subtypes of meningioma are reported so far. A 7-year-old male golden retriever dog presented to Small Animal Medicine and Surgery Unit with a history of progressive paralysis of all four limbs and enophthalmos of the left eye along with depressed left frontal region. Computerized Tomography scan of skull showed enlarged rostral alar foramen. Animal collapsed suddenly and brought for post mortem to Department of Veterinary Pathology, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai. Muscle atrophy noticed in left frontal area and examination of cranial cavity revealed a well encapsulated gray white mass noticed in the brain stem region. Cytological examination revealed the presence of epithelial and mesenchymal cells arranged in loose clusters as well as in pseudo palisading pattern in some areas. Cytological features were suggestive of meningioma. Histopathology revealed the presence of spindle shaped cells arranged in loose clusters and whirling pa ern along with meningothelial cells arranged in fascicles which is suggestive of transitional type of meningioma. Positive histochemical staining with Masson trichome observed. For the confirmatory diagnosis immunohistochemical staining with cytokeratin, vimentin and epithelial membrane antigen was performed which is commonly used in human meningioma cases. Moderate cytoplasmic expression of cytokeratin and vimentin noticed in neoplastic cells. Immunohistochemical examination with epithelial membrane antigen showed moderate positive reaction by meningothelial as well as fibroblast cells. Based on the above findings the present case was diagnosed as transitional meningioma.ArticleItem Open Access கோழிகளைத் தாக்கும் நோய்களும் அவற்றை தடுக்கும் முறைகளும்(2018-05) Jalantha, P.; Veeramani, P.; Rubanandhini, A.Book chapterItem Open Access க்ரேடிவா ரிலிஜியோசா-வின் தாவர வேதிப் பகுப்பாய்வு(Veelan Ariviyal Tamil Iyakkam, New Delhi, 2019) Jaikanth, C.M.; Sesh, P.S.L.; Jalantha, P.; TANUVASக்ரேடிவா ரிலிஜியோசா எனும் மரலிங்கம் கப்பரிடேசி குடும்பத்தைச் சார்ந்த மூலிகை மரமாகும்,ArticleItem Open Access மரலிங்க தாவரத்தின் கல்லீரல் பாதுகாக்கும் திறனை கண்டறிய விஸ்டர் எலிகளில் ஆய்வு(2019) Jaikanth, C.M.; Sesh, P.S.L.; Jalantha, P.; TANUVASமரலிங்கம் (கிரெடேவ ரிலிஜ்யோசா) என்ற மருத்துவ தாவத்தின் கல்லீரல் நோய்களை குணபடுத்தும் திறனை கண்டறிய விஸ்டர் எலிகளில் ஆய்வு மேற்கொள்ளப்பட்டது.ArticleItem Open Access முட்டைக்காக ஜப்பானியக் காடை வளர்ப்பு(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2019-06) Veeramani, P.; Nanthini, A.
