This review outlines the general aspects … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 17 Aug 2020 · 7,831 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 8,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Flaxseed Supplementation on Lipid Metabolism, Oxidative Balance and Genetic Damage in GoatsMaria Eugenia Cecchini, Dardo Roma, Franco Magnago et al.Epidemiological evidence indicates that flaxseed reduces oxidative stress and cholesterol levels in blood. In this study we evaluated the lipid profile, oxidation of plasma lipids and genetic damage in goats fed on a diet supplemented with flaxseed. Thirteen adult male goats were split in two experimental groups; one of them was fed on a conventional diet of alfalfa and ground … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 7,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploration of Antidiabetic and Hypolipidemic Activity of Roots of Croton ZambesicusPrakash Kumar, Rahul Kumar, Manoj Kumar Rastogi, Krishna MurtiThe aim of this study was to investigate the potential antidiabetic and hypolipidaemic effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of roots of Croton zambesicus in alloxan induced diabetic models to ascertain its pharmacological applicability. The roots of Croton zambesicus were collected, dried and extracted. The phytochemical screening as well as Median Lethal Dose determination (LD50) was done. The ethanolic extract … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Jun 2017 · 7,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effect of Galactomannan Extracted from Iraqi Lycium barbarum L. Fruits against Alloxan-Induced Diabetes in RatsAdnan J.M. Al-FartosyLycium barbarum L. (Solanaceae) is widely used in Iraqi Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The present investigation was done to evaluate the effects of polysaccharide (galactomannan) from Lycium barbarum L. Fruits (GLBF) on serum blood glucose, serum lipid profile and lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defence system in liver and kidney of alloxan-induced diabetic rats. GLBF was found … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 15 Dec 2014 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractGLUTATHIONE: A POSSIBLE LINK TO AUTOPHAGY IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUSDilip Shah, Swapan K. NathIncreased free radical formation and altered redox state are of fundamental importance in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including Systemic Lupus Erythematos (SLE). Free radicals are mainly derived from oxygen (Reactive Oxygen Species/ROS) and nitrogen (Reactive Nitrogen Species/RNS) at mitochondria, cellular membranes and the endoplasmic reticulum membrane as physiological responses to a variety of internal and external stress (Shah et … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 12,773 accessesView PDFCite
