Ferulic acid modulates fluoride-induced oxidative hepatotoxicity in male Wistar rats.

The present study is aimed to evaluate the protective effect of ferulic acid (FA) on fluoride-induced oxidative hepatotoxicity in male Wistar rats. Fluoride (25 mg/L) was given orally to induce hepatotoxicity for 12 weeks. Hepatic damage were assessed using status of pathophysiological markers like serum marker enzymes like aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin, lipid profile, total protein content levels, and histopathological studies.

The present scenario of cervical cancer control and HPV epidemiology in India: an outline.

Objective: To give a clear picture with epidemiological evidence about the present scenario of cervical cancer control and HPV in India.

Design: Review of published studies, concentrating on recent systematic reviews, meta-analyses and large prospective studies.

Conclusions And Recommendations: Cervical cancer is unique among cancers in that it can largely be prevented through screening and removal of precursor lesions.
