Total phenolic contents and free radical scavenging activities of different extracts of seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) pomace without seeds.

In this study, 100% methanolic extract (ME), 70% aqua-methanolic extract (AME) and 100% aqueous extract of seabuckthorn byproduct were used to evaluate antioxidant activity. The total phenolic contents were high in AME (84.28 ± 1.

Immunoprotective Effect of Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) and Glucomannan on T-2 Toxin-Induced Immunodepression in Poultry.

The present investigation was undertaken to study the immunoprotective effect of seabuckthorn berries and glucomannan against T-2 toxin-induced immunodepression in 15-day-old chicks. T-2 toxin was produced in the laboratory by growing Fusarium sporotrichioides MTCC 2081 on wheat. T-2 toxin was fed to birds at 1 ppm level of the diet.

Effect of trikatu pretreatment on the pharmacokinetics of pefloxacin administered orally in mountain Gaddi goats.

The pharmacokinetics of orally administered pefloxacin were studied to evaluate the bio-enhancing effect of the herbal bio-enhancer, trikatu, in mountain Gaddi goats (n = 6). The findings of the study revealed a decreased plasma concentration (p > 0.05) of pefloxacin following trikatu administration during the absorption phase (10, 15, 20 min post pefloxacin administration).

Alteration of pharmacokinetics of oxytetracycline following oral administration of Piper longum in hens.

The pharmacokinetic profile of orally administered oxytetracycline (10 mg/kg body weight) was studied 7 days post oral treatment of Piper longum (15 mg equivalent/kg) in White Leghorn hens (2-2.8 kg). On the day 8, oxytetracycline (OTC) was administered orally and blood samples were collected from the wing vein in heparinised vials for plasma separation at 0 (pre-treatment), 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360, 480 and 600 minutes post OTC administration.

Neuropharmacological effects of ivermectin in mice.

Neuropharmacological effects (Spontaneous locomotor activity, forced locomotor activity and anticonvulsant activity) of invermectin were studied at 400, 800 and 1600 micrograms/kg (administered, subcutaneously). Spontaneous locomotor activity was reduced at all the dose levels but forced locomotor activity was slightly reduced at 800 and 1600 micrograms/kg. The drug did not exhibit any anticonvulsant potential at any of the dose levels studied.

Pharmacodynamic interactions of cypermethrin and centrally acting drugs in mice.

Cypermethrin a widely used insecticide of Pyrethroids (type II) group, was administered in mice at two dose levels (1/10 of LD50 i.e. 2.

Immunotoxic responses of cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide in rats.

The study was undertaken to evaluate immunotoxic effects of cypermethrin administered orally (in ground nut oil) to male albino rats at dose levels (mg/kg) of 0 (control), 5, 10, 20 and 40 once daily for 90 days. Cypermethrin administration produced a significant leucopenia at 40 mg/kg on day 90. A dose dependent decrease (P greater than 0.

Effect of dietary malathion on hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing systems of Gallus domesticus.

White leghorn cockerels were fed a diet containing 0, 400, 800 and 1600 ppm of malathion for 90 days. Malathion O,O-dimethyl S-(1,2-dicarbethoxy) ethyl phosphorodithioate) at 800 and 1600 ppm caused a significant decrease in body weights. There was a significant increase in liver/body weight ratio.
