Antioxidant and hepatopreventive effects of extract against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

The present study aimed to investigate the preventive effects of methanol fraction from leaf extract (MECA), associated with its phytochemical content, on CCl-induced hepatic toxicity in adult rats. In the controls, CCl induced an increase of serum biochemical parameters and triggered oxidative stress in the liver. MECA caused significant reductions in CCl-elevated levels of hepatic markers, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein and increased the level of high-density lipoprotein compared to the CCl group.

Protective effect of essential oil of bark on hepatic and renal toxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats.

The inner bark of cinnamon () is widely used as a spice. Cinnamon plants are also a valuable source of essential oil used for medicinal purposes. The present study aimed to investigate the composition and in vitro antioxidant activity of essential oil of bark (CvEO) and its protective effects in vivo on CCl-induced hepatic and renal toxicity in rats.

The preventive effect of aqueous extract of Rosemary () leaves against the nephrotoxicity of carbon tetrachloride in mice.

The present study aimed to evaluate the performance effect of aqueous extract of (AERO) against the kidney toxicity induced by CCl in mice. The results showed that the renal damage induced by CCl was associated with a rise in oxidative stress monitored by a significant increase of TBARS and PCO levels (+89% and +136% respectively,  < .001) and a significant decrease of GSH level (-68%,  < .

Tunisian Clematis flammula Essential Oil Enhances Wound Healing: GC-MS Analysis, Biochemical and Histological Assessment.

The aerial part of Clematis flammula (Ranunculaceae) has been traditionally used in the treatment of skin diseases including mycotic infection in the Tunisian traditional medicine. The study was undertaken to extract and determine the essential oil chemical composition of Clematis flammula aerial parts and to assess the potential of anemonin in wound healing on mechanically wounded wistar rats. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS.

Fermented camel milk prevents carbon tetrachloride induced acute injury in kidney of mice.

Fermented milk is known to possess potent antioxidant activity. The present study was undertaken to assess the preventive effect of fermented camel milk (FCM) prepared using lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris against CCl4 induced kidney damage in mice.

Protective effect of kombucha on rats fed a hypercholesterolemic diet is mediated by its antioxidant activity.

Context: Kombucha (KT) is claimed to have various beneficial effects on human health, but there is very little scientific evidence available in the literature.

Objective: The present study investigates the effects of Camellia sinensis (GT) Linn. (Theaceae) and KT, two natural drinks, on cholesterol and antioxidant status using a hypercholesterolemia rat model.
