The present study was aimed to evaluate the alterations in biochemical and oxidative biomarkers indicating hepatic, renal, testicular damage induced by the subacute exposure of imidacloprid and arsenic in male wistar rats. Rats (180-200 g) were divided into eight groups of six rats each and were subjected to various daily oral administrations for 28 days. Group I s...

The studies on anti-diabetic, hepato-protective and nephro-protective potential of ethanolic extract of rhizome of B. ciliata were undertaken after determining therapeutically important phytochemical constituents and in vitro antioxidant potential of the extract of the plant. Total phenols, flavonoids, tannin, lycopene and β-carotene were found to be present in the...

The antimicrobials like sulphaquinoxaline (SQX) and amprolium (AMP) are used indiscriminately in the poultry sector in Jammu region, J&K (UT). Therefore, the present study was conducted to quantitate SQX and AMP residue status in chicken tissue. Altogether, 20 samples each, collected from Jammu, Kathua, Reasi, Samba, Udhampur for residue analysis of SQX and 15 samp...

The present study was designed to evaluate the ameliorative effect of hydroalcoholic-extract (HAE) of Randia spinosa on streptozotocin-induced-diabetes in Wistar rats. The study was conducted in two phases of 28 days each simultaneously. First part included apparently healthy Wistar rats of either sex, weighing 150-160g, divided into three groups having six animals...

This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the hepatic and renal oxidative damage due to sub-acute exposure of indoxacarb alone and the effect of cadmium in modulating indoxacarb induced damage in Wistar rats. 36 male Wistar rats weighing 150-180g were randomly divided into six groups with six rats in each. Group I served as control and group II (indoxacarb @173...

The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of chlorpyrifos, aluminium and catechin alone, and in combinations on various biochemical and oxidative stress parameters in wistar rats. Rats of 150-200g body weight were divided into nine groups of six animals each and were subjected to various daily oral treatment regimes for 28 days. Group I and group II se...

In the present investigation, leaves of Azadirachta indica, roots of Asparagus racemosus, flowers of Butea monosperma, and aerial parts of Ipomoea nil and Costus speciosus were studied for their anticancer activity. Alcoholic, hydro-alcoholic and aqueous extracts were prepared from the specified plant parts and studied for their in vitro cytotoxic potential against...

The present study was designed to evaluate the ameliorative effect of quercetin on streptozotocin-induced-diabetes, diabetic wound and DOCA salt induced hypertension in Wistar rats. Rats of 150-200g body weight were divided into six groups of six animals each and were subjected to various daily oral treatment regimes for 21 days to determine the effect of querc...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the wound healing potential of ethanolic extract of rhizome of Bergenia ciliata on excision wound model. Rats weighing 150-200g divided into four groups of 10 animals each were subjected to various treatment regimens for 14 days to determine the effect of extract incorporated ointments on wound healing. Blood and tissue ...

The present study was designed to evaluate haemato-biochemical alterations, oxidative stress parameters, hepatotoxicity and reproductive abnormalities induced by the chronic exposure of metalaxyl fungicide in Wistar rats of both sexes. Rats of 100-200 g body weight (b.wt) were divided into four groups of twenty animals each and were subjected to various daily oral ...
