Comparison of simvastatin with Eugenia Jambolana fruit pulp in their effects on alanine transferase, aspartate aminotransferase and creatinine phosphokinase levels of hyperlipidaemic rats.

Objectives: To compare the effects of Eugenia Jambolana fruit extract with simvastatin on liver enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transferase (ALT) and muscle enzyme creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) in diet induced hyperlipidaemic rats.

Methods: An experimental randomized control study was conducted on seventy five male albino rats, divided into five groups labelled A, B, C, D and E with fifteen rats in each group. Group A was kept as normal control, groups B, C, D and E were given hyperlipidaemic diet for six weeks.

Antihyperlipidaemic effects of Eugenia jambolana fruit in diet induced hyperlipidaemic rats.

Objective: To evaluate the antihyperlipidaemic effects of Eugenia jambolana fruit pulp in diet induced hyperlipidaemic rats and to compare them with Simvastatin.

Methods: An experimental randomised control study was conducted on seventy five male albino rats, divided into five groups labelled A, B, C, D and E with fifteen rats in each group. Group A was kept as normal control, groups B, C, D and E were given hyperlipidaemic diet for six weeks.

The reno-protective effect of aqueous extract of Carum carvi (black zeera) seeds in streptozotocin induced diabetic nephropathy in rodents.

To assess the effect of aqueous extract of Carum carvi seeds in experimentally induced diabetic nephropathy (DN) in rodents, we studied 48 adult male Wistar rats divided into 4 groups: normal controls (group A), diabetes positive control (group B), and experimental (groups C and D). They received Carum carvi extract as a renoprotective agent. Rats having fasting blood glucose levels over 280 mg/dL were included in this study.
