Background: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy each play important roles in hepatocyte cell injury. We hypothesized that gene expression of C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) and the BH3 proteins Bcl2-interacting mediator of cell death (BIM) and BH3-interacting domain death agonist (BID) are involved in a complex interplay that regulates ER stress-induced autophagy and cell death.

Materials And Methods: Hepatocytes were cultured from lean Zucker rats.

Bacopa monniera is a rejuvenating herb for brain cells enhancing learning and cognitive ability. In the present investigation, the ameliorative effects of Bacopa monniera were examined against lead-induced oxidative stress in different regions of rat brain. Male rats were divided into five groups: control (1000 ppm sodium acetate) and exposed (1000 ppm lead acetate) for 4 weeks; DMSA (Meso-2,3-Dimercaptosuccinic acid)-treated (90 mg/kg body weight/day); Bacopa monniera-treated (BM) (10 mg/kg body weight/day) and a combination of BM + DMSA for seven consecutive days after 4 weeks of lead exposure.
