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 aim of present study was to determine the impact of toxic interaction between Mancozeb (MZ) and arsenic (As) on erythrocytes, brain, liver, kidney and testicular tissue of rats and to compare ameliorative potential of quercetin and catechin against the induced toxicity. Sixty adult male rats were randomly allocated into 10 groups with 6 animals in each. Group I...

Present study was aimed to determine type of toxic interaction between Dimethoate (DM) and fluoride (F) and their amelioration with rhizome extract of Zingiber officinale (ZO) in Wistar rats. The study was conducted in two phases viz. toxicant interaction phase and ameliorative phase. Analysis of hydro-alcoholic extract of ZO showed presence of phenols, flavonoids,...

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 ...
