Sublethal Toxic Effect of Paraquat Dichloride on Tissue Biochemical Markers in Labeo rohita
Abstract: The present study investigated the sublethal toxic effect of the commercial grade herbicide, Paraquat dichloride (24% SL), on Labeo rohita stressing the importance on biochemical parameters. Fishes were exposed to the sublethal concentrations of paraquat dichloride (5 μg/l and 10 μg/l) for 24 h in treated groups. Treated groups showed highly changed biochemical parameters on their exposure to the herbicide paraquat, when compared to the control. Tissues such as brain, …

Effects of Plasticizer DI-(2 Ethylhexyl) Phthalate on Liver Enzymes of Adult Male Albino Rats
Abstract: AbstractDi-(2 Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) is a common plasticizer used to make the plastic products more flexible. It is quite harmful as tested on other animal models and is carcinogenic too. The liver is the major organ for detoxification in body and is therefore affected first due to intake of any toxicant. The liver enzymes are good parameter to assess any such hepatic damage. In the present study, the acute toxicity …

Hepatoprotective Efficiency of Nigella sativa L. Extract on D-Galactosamine Induced Toxicity
Abstract: The Protective role of Nigella Sativa L. alcoholic extract (NSE) was investigated on D-Galactosamine (DGalN) induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Twenty four adult wistar albino rats were divided into four groups viz Control, D-Galatosamine induced hepatotoxicity, Nigella sativa alcoholic extract and Nigella Sativa alcoholic extract pretreatment prior to the administration of D-Galactosamine. After treatment, the rats were sacrificed, blood and liver samples were collected for determination of Serum Aspartate transaminase (AST), …

The role of Ethylacetate fractions of Parkinsonia aculeata and Newbouldia laevis against Carbon Tetrachloride Toxicity in Rats
Abstract: This research work studied the preventive effect of ethylacetate fractions of Parkinsonia aculeata and Newbouldia laevis using carbontetrachloride (CCl 4 ) model to induce toxication in rats. Increased (p<0.05) serum concentrations of enzymes and non-enzymes biochemicalparameters such as lactate dehydrogenase, gamma glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, alanine and aspartate transaminases andtotal bilirubin, were seen in group of rats administered only carbon tetrachloride. However, groups that received 100 to 200mg/kg of thetwo …

Seroprevalence of Hepatitis E Virus and Serum Level of Serum Aspartate Transaminase (AST) and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Among Jaundice Patients in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
Abstract: Hepatitis E is an acute disease caused by hepatitis E virus that usually manifest as acute jaundice. It is a waterborne infection and occurs sporadically or as epidemic outbreaks. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus with a 7.2 kb genome with three open reading frames In this study we report the seroprevalence of HEV in different categories of jaundice patients along with their elevation of serum bilirubin, …
