Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Properties and Dose-Dependent Effects of Monkey Fruits (Artocarpus lakoocha) against Paracetamol-Induced Hepato-Renal Toxicity in RatsMd. Yousuf Ali, Md. Reaz Morshed, Md. Sakib Hossen et al.In this study, the antioxidant potentials and protective effect of ethanolic extract of monkey fruits (Artocarpus lakoocha) (AL) was investigated against paracetamol-induced toxicity in rats. AL which contains high concentration of polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins and protein, exhibited high radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Administration of paracetamol (500 mg/kg) for seven consecutive days caused severe oxidative stress in … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2018 · 8,341 accessesView PDFCite

Thirty rats of average weight 150g divided into six groups of 5 rats each were used for the study. Group one (control) received water and paraffin for ten days. Group two (treatment control) received water only, group 3 (standard control), received … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 17 Dec 2017 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcute Phase Proteins, Lipid Profile and Proinflammatory Cytokines in Healthy and Bronchopneumonic Water Buffalo CalvesSabry M. El-Bahr, Wael M. EL-DeebThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of Acute Phase Proteins (APP), lipid profiles and proinflammatory cytokines in healthy and bronchopneumonic water buffalo calves. Therefore, sixty water buffalo calves (9±1 month old, 175±15 kg) were divided into two equal groups, the first group represented healthy, control, calves whereas calves of the second group were affected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,417 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRELATIONSHIPS AMONG INDICATORS OF FITNESS, FATNESS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN ADOLESCENTSRobert Malina, Stephen-Mark Cooper, John Young et al.In adults, fatness and low cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a higher prevalence of chronic disease risk and mortality. The association between measures of physical fitness and fatness upon cardiovascular risk in youth, however, is less clear. The effects of adiposity and physical fitness upon cardiovascular disease risk factors in youth are receiving increasing attention but studies that have examined … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2012 · 8,118 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Hyypoglycemic and Hypolipidemic Activity of Nyctanthes Arbortristis Linn against Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic RatsKrishna Murti, Manish Kaushik, Aditi KaushikProblem statement: The present study was aimed to explore the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activity of Nyctanthes arbortristis linn roots against Streptozotocin (STZ) induced experimental rats. Approach: Ethanolic extract of roots of Nyctanthes arbortristis was administered to streptozotocin induced rats.Glibenclamide was used as a standard drug.
