Potassium bromate (KBrO) modulates oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) - induced Crohn's colitis in Wistar rats.

Potassium bromate (KBrO) present in consumed ozonised water was recently documented to exacerbate experimental gastric ulcer. Information, however, is vague as regards its effects in the colon where water reabsorption occurs. In this study, we observed the possible effects of KBrO on oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) - induced Crohn's colitis (CC).

Aqueous extract of prevents Cadmium Chloride-induced testicular damage in Wistar Rats.

Objectives: The role of aqueous extract of was investigated against cadmium chloride-induced testicular damage in Wistar Rats.

Methods: Thirty (30) male Wistar Rats weighing (150-170) were divided into six groups (n=5). Group A served as control and received oral administration of phosphate buffer saline; group B received 800 mg/kg only; group C were injected intraperitoneally with single dose 2 mg/kg b.
