Peripheral blood and bone marrow responses under stress of cypermethrin in albino rats.

Pyrethroids, commercially available pesticides, are greatly in use these days, and thus they carry considerable chances of contaminating various ecosystems. Haematotoxicity of cypermethrin, a broadly used type II pyrethroid, has been assessed in the present study. Selected parameters included determination of total RBC count, haemoglobin concentration (Hb conc.

Biochemical and histological changes in rat liver caused by cypermethrin and beta-cyfluthrin.

Cypermethrin and beta-cyfluthrin are two most widely used multipurpose pyrethroids. After determining their oral LD50 (416.98 mg kg-1 and 354.

Effect of arsenic trioxide on renal functions and its modulation by Curcuma aromatica leaf extract in albino rat.

The protective effects of Curcuma aromatica leaf extract were studied on nehrotoxicity induced by arsenic trioxide in albino rats. LD50 estimated for arsenic trioxide was 14.98 mg kg(-1) body weight.

Oxidoreductases in early gestational monkey placenta during maternal malarial infection: histochemical localisation.

Background & Objectives: Early gestational malaria is more deleterious than late gestational infection. Still the pathophysiology of maternofoetal organ--the placenta in malaria remains almost unexplored during early gestation. Present study dealing with oxidoreductases in early gestational placenta during maternal malarial infection of Plasmodium cynomolgi bastianellii in rhesus monkeys was anticipated to provide a better insight into the functional impairment of this organ leading to foetal abnormalities.

Hydrolytic enzyme activity in rhesus monkey placenta during early gestational malaria: histochemical studies.

Background & Objectives: Early gestational malaria is found to be more fatal than late gestational infection but the pathophysiology of early gestational placenta, the maternofoetal organ responsible for maintenance of pregnancy, remains unexplored. Present study dealing with hydrolytic enzymes in early gestational placenta of rhesus monkeys during Plasmodium cynomolgi infection was anticipated to provide a better insight into the functional impairment of this organ during early gestational maternal malaria.

Methods: Experimental monkeys (Macaca multtta) at 2-2 1/2 months of pregnancy were inoculated with P.
