Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Cancer is one of the significant problem from health perspective, every year many females are diagnosed with breast cancer out of which many die because of this disease worldwide. Oxidative stress in human body is a result of imbalance between free radical production and antioxidant defense which may result in carcinogenesis. Primary defense Primary defenses rely on the direct scavenging and inactivation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) which includes …

Eugenol Prevents Sodium Nitrate-induced Altered Antioxidant Status of Spermatozoa: An In Vitro Study
Abstract: Background: High level of nitrate (NO3) induces oxidative stress which affects the male and female reproductive system. In this regard, there is a great concern for the prevention of NO3-induced oxidative stress in the reproductive system by using herbal products. Eugenol is one such natural product found in clove extracted from cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) and is known for its antioxidant, anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. Aim and Objectives: The present …

Antioxidant Status and Lipid Peroxidation in Erythrocyte of Dog Infested with Demodex canis
Abstract: The study was conducted on fifteen dogs (n = 8 demodicosis, n = 7 healthy) brought to Veterinary Clinics, Bihar Veterinary College Clinics to determine Antioxidant Status and Lipid Peroxidation in erythrocyte of Demodex canis infested dog. Activity of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration were estimated in erythrocytes of dogs.Activity of CAT, SOD and TBARS concentration were higher …

Hepatoprotective Role of Exogenous Melatonin and Insulin Plant (Costus IgneousNak.) Extract against the Streptozotocin Induced Diabetes in Rats
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to compare hepatoprotective efficacy of exogenous melatonin and insulin plant extract against streptozotocin induced hepatic complications. To induce diabetes adult female rat were administrated with STZ (15mg/kg) for consecutive six days. The confirmation of diabetic model was analyzed by blood glucose test. Following confirmation diabetic rat model were treated with exogenous MEL intraperitoneally and plant extract was administered orally. Administration of MEL and …

Neuroprotective Role of Exogenous Melatonin and Insulin Plant (Costus igneus Nak.) Extract on Brain in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes in Female Rat
Abstract: Brain is the one of the most important coordinating and controlling system of the body, which regulates different muscular and neuromuscular activities. The current study was undertaken to explore the neuroprotective role of exogenous melatonin and insulin plant extract in diabetic female rats. Administration of melatonin and plant extract to Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat showed a significant decrease of lipid peroxidation (TBARS) in brain tissue comparable to the control group …

Anti-ulcer Properties of Methanol Extract and its Solvent Fractions of Stem Bark of Lannea acida on Indomethacin Induced Gastric Ulcer in Albino Rats
Abstract: Lannea acida is use in Nigeria for the treatment of Peptic ulcers. The methanol and its solvent fractions (hexane, ethylacetate and butanol) of the stem bark of Lannea acida were evaluated for antiulcerogenic activity using indomethacin model. The anti-ulcerogenic mechanisms of the plant using the model employed in this study were done by estimation of Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione (GSH), Catalase (CAT), Vitamins A, C and E, and Malondialdehyde (MDA). …
