Modulatory Effects of Berberine Chloride on Lipid Profile, Oxidant Status and Insulin Signaling Molecules in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Rats.

The goal of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Berberine chloride (BC) on lipid profile, oxidant status and insulin signaling molecules in Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rat model. Diabetes was induced in rats by a single dose of intraperitoneal administration of STZ (40 mg/kg b.w).

Cadmium treatment induces echinocytosis, DNA damage, inflammation, and apoptosis in cardiac tissue of albino Wistar rats.

Cadmium (Cd), a potent carcinogen present in almost all foods, poses a major health risk to humans. Major routes of exposure to Cd for humans are occupation, diet, and tobacco use. Cd elicits various deleterious effects on cellular molecules mainly by causing oxidant-antioxidant imbalance.

Effects of Berberine chloride on the liver of streptozotocin-induced diabetes in albino Wistar rats.

The goal of the present study is to evaluate the effect of Berberine chloride (BC) on the liver of streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rat. Diabetic rats were treated with BC (50 mg/kg b.w) or glibenclamide (6 mg/kg b.

Berberine chloride ameliorates oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in the pancreas of Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.

Berberine chloride (BC) has been widely used as an unprescribed oral drug in China for the treatment of various diseases, and it is an active ingredient in many traditionally used medicinal plants. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the beneficial effects of BC on oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in the pancreas of Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in the male Wistar albino rats using a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ of 40mg/kg b.

The ameliorating effect of Centella asiatica ethanolic extract on albino rats treated with isoniazid.

Background: Isoniazid, also called isonicotinyl hydrazine (INH), is a commonly used drug for treating tuberculosis. The main drawback is its toxic side effects. Centella asiatica has long been used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine owing to its wide medicinal properties.
