Cardio-protective effects of leaves and fruit extract in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy in rats.

Background: The cardio-protective effects of and are well-recognized in Ayurveda for its antimicrobial, antidiabetic and antioxidant potentials. The present study evaluates the effects of leaves (Tct.LE) and fruits (Tce.

Staphylococcus pasteuri (BCVME2) Resident in Buffalo Cervical Vaginal Mucus: A Potential Source of Estrus-Specific Sex Pheromone(s).

Mammals have microbes resident in their reproductive tract, some of which can be pathogenic while others may play a role in protecting the tract from infection. Volatile compounds play a role as sex pheromones that attract males for coitus during female estrus or heat. It is likely that these compounds themselves are secondary metabolites of bacterial flora resident in the vagina.

Acute toxicity studies and protective effects of bark extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

The medicinal properties of () bark have been reported for their clinical importance for many diseases including diabetes. However, there is no clear evidence so far regarding dose selection for its hepato- and nephroprotective effect in diabetic condition. Hence, the present study aims at evaluating antioxidant activity, the acute toxicity, and dose fixation of bark for their effective medicinal values in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced rats.

Anti-diabetic and hypolipidemic effects of bark extracts: an , , and approach.

The present investigation was aimed to study the anti-diabetic and hypolipidemic potential of (Lauraceae family) bark in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The preliminary phytochemical analysis (hexane, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethanol, methanol, and aqueous extracts), GC-MS analysis (ethanol), (aqueous, ethanol and methanol), (ethanol) and anti-diabetic activity with hypolipidemic effect of bark was analysed. The ethanolic extract of the bark has a fine inhibitory activity than the aqueous and methanolic extract.

Leaf Extracts and Their Quercetin Protect HepG2 Cell Lines Against CCL Induced Cytotoxicity.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro cytoprotective effects of and their isolated quercetin fraction to reduce the CCl (carbon tetrachloride) induced toxicity in HepG2 cell lines (Hepatocellular carcinoma G2). Silymarin was used as a standard drug to compare the protective effects of plant extracts in infected cell lines. MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) assay, cell viability assay, leakage parameters [Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)], lipid peroxidation and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were used to find out the protection of human derived HepG2 cells against CCl-induced damage.
