Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAroclor 1254 Toxicity to Mice Liver Membrane AtpasesShweta Pathak, Rahul KunduPresent communication reports the sub-acute dose and exposure duration dependent effects of Aroclor 1254 on total, Na+, K+, Ca++ and Mg++-ATPases of the mouse liver cells. The study tests two hypotheses, (a) whether the sublethal dose or the exposure duration dependent in vivo exposure of hydrophobic PCB (Aroclor 1254) affects the hydrophilic membrane-bound ion dependent ATPases of the liver cells … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2013 · 6,791 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAqueous Stem Bark Extract of Spathodea campanulata (P. Beauv) Modulates Carbon Tetrachloride Induced Hepatic Damage in RatsCharles Ansah, Phyllis Elsie Dadzeasah, Emmanuel AsiamahThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective and curative potential of the aqueous extract of the stem bark of Spathodea Campanulata (SCE) in a carbon tetrachloride-induced model of hepatotoxicity in rats. Rats pre-treated with 625 mg kg-1, 1250, 2500 mg kg-1 or silymarin (50 mg kg-1) p.o for 3 days were intoxicated with CCl4 (1 mL … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 27 May 2013 · 8,999 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtection of Terminalia belerica Roxb. Against Iron Overload Induced Liver Toxicity: An Account of Its Reducing and Iron Chelating CapacityBibhabasu Hazra, Rhitajit Sarkar, Nripendranath MandalExcess iron deposition in the liver catalyses the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which in turn initiate oxidative damage of protein and nucleic acids leading to several human diseases. The fruits of Terminalia Belerica Roxb. (TB) has been most commonly used not only in stimulating gastrointestinal health, but also in treatment of various hepatic disorders. The present study was … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2012 · 7,989 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Prophylactic and Therapeutic Effects of Silymarin on Diazepam-Induced Hepatotoxicity in CatsBahman Mosallanejad, Reza Avizeh, Hossien NajafzadehProblem statement: Diazepam is commonly administered for seizure control and appetite stimulant in cats. Cats may develop acute fatal hepatic necrosis after receiving oral diazepam for several days. The aim of this study was to detect the protective action of silymarin on diazepam-induced hepatotoxicity in cats. Approach: About 25 healthy cats were randomly allotted to five equal groups. Animals in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,420 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepatotoxicity Due to Histamine Trifluoro-Methyl Toluidide, Amthamine, R-(-)-α-Methyl Histamine and Clobenpropit (H1R-H4R-Agonists, Respectively) in Rabbit Experimental ModelTrivendra Tripathi, Aijaz Ahmed Khan, Mohammad Shahid et al.Problem statement: Since in vivo studies looking for toxicological impact of histamine receptors-agonists in experimental models are fragmentary, the present study was designed to delineate the histopathological and biochemical changes in livers of rabbits treated with histamine receptors (H1R-H4R)-agonists. Approach: The cohort comprised of six groups (Group I control and Group II-VI treated) containing five rabbits each. Control-group received vehicle … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,899 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropharmacological Assessment of an Aqueous Bark Extract of Antiaris toxicaria (Pers.) Lesch. (Moraceae) in RodentsPriscilla K. Mante, Donatus W. Adongo, Kennedy K.E. Kukuia et al.Antiaris toxicaria is a plant traditionally used in Ghana for the treatment of various neurological conditions such as epilepsy and pain. This present study therefore seeks to screen for the neuropharmacological activities of the aqueous extract of Antiaris toxicaria (AAE) stem bark. The effect of Antiaris extract on pentobarbital-induced sleeping time, tail immersion test, spontaneous locomotor activity, motor coordination, PTZ-induced … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2012 · 7,794 accessesView PDF Cite
