Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitive-Enhancing and Antioxidant Activities of Quercetin Liposomes in Animal Model of Alzheimer's DiseaseTerdthai Tong-un, Panakaporn Wannanon, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Wathita PhachonpaiProblem statement: Recent findings demonstrated the crucial role of oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Antioxidant intake is beneficial to delay or inhibit the progression of this disease. Quercetin, a bioflavonoid in fruits and vegetables, has a powerful antioxidant activity both in vitro and in vivo. Claims that quercetin has many biological activities. However, quercetin is rapidly … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,884 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of S-Nitroso-N-Acetylpenicillamine and S-Nitroso-Captopril Co-Administered with Cysteine on Blood Glucose Concentration in an Animal ModelSacha Campbell, Ruby Alexander-Lindo, Tara Dasgupta et al.The study sought to test the hypothesis that co-administration of SNAP and cysteine or CapSNO and cysteine in normoglycaemic rats may further reduce glucose tolerance. An oral glucose tolerance was carried out and the plasma nitrite concentrations were measured and taken as the biochemical markers of in vivo NO formation. The results showed blood glucose levels were significantly elevated at … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,223 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Antidiabetic Efficacy of Combined Extracts from Two Continental Plants: Azadirachta indica (A. Juss) (Neem) and Vernonia amygdalina (Del.) (African Bitter Leaf)Patrick Ekong Ebong, Item Justin Atangwho, Eyong Ubana Eyong, Godwin Eneji EgbungPolyherbal therapy is said to be a current pharmacological principle having the advantage of producing maximum therapeutic efficacy with minimum side effects. We assessed the antidiabetic efficacy and hence the impact on biochemical indices of toxicity by a combination of extracts from neem and bitterleaf. Thirty rats, 25 diabetic and 5 non-diabetic rats, were used for the study. The diabetic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Aug 2008 · 14,404 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSesame Oil As A Protective Agent Against Doxorubicin Induced Cardio Toxicity In RatKaneez F. Shad, Suhail Al-Salam, Alaaeldin A. HamzaThe therapeutic value of doxorubicin (DXO) as anticancer antibiotic is limited by its cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of sesame oil against DXO-induced cardiotoxicity and oxidative stress. The administration of DXO (20 mg/kg) to Wister male rats, increased serum aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase activities (as cardiotoxicity indices) as well as cardiac malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,672 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInefficacy of Topical Diclofenac in Arthritic HorsesNicolás F. Villarino, Tomas J. Vispo, Marcos et al.The objective of the present study was test the anti-inflammatory efficacy of diclofenac dietilamine, applied epicutaneously at a dose rate of 0.44 mg kg-1, in a model of acute arthritis in horses. Four clinical end-points, as well as two biochemical markers, were used as surrogate markers of the required clinical response (analgesia, anti-inflammatory). Low diclofenac concentrations were measured in blood … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,612 accessesView PDF Cite
