EVALUATION OF ANTIEPILEPTIC ACTIVITY OF THE ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF BARK OF ELAEOCARPUS GANITRUS BY USING MAXIMAL ELECTRO SHOCK INDUCED CONVULSION AND PENTYLENETETRAZOLE INDUCED CONVULSION IN MICE
The ethnic minorities of Rajasthan use the bark of E. ganitrus as a traditional medicine for curing epilepsy. This study was performed to explore the protective effect of E. ganitrus in epileptic mice. Swiss mice were fed with the different doses (1, 10, 100, 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg) of ethanolic extract of E. ganitrus and assessed for toxicity parameters for acute toxicity study. Psychomotor act...

HEPATOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY OF A POLYHERBAL FORMULATION IN PARACETAMOL INDUCED HEPATOTOXICITY ALBINO RATS: A TOXICITY SCREENING APPROACH
This research investigated the hepatoprotective activity role of polyherbal formulation in paracetamol-induced hepatotoxic male albino rats, including assessement of acute toxicity evaluation. Divided into five classes (n=6) were albino rats (200-250g). The paracetamol (PCM) was diluted with saline (vehicle) before oral administration (o.p). Antioxidant enzyme activities, for example lipid peroxid...

NEPHROPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF CLITORIA TERNATEA L. LEAVES AGAINST DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY INDUCED BY STREPTOZOTOCIN
Diabetic nephropathy is a long-term complication of diabetic mellitus. Many experimental evidences suggest that persistent hyperglycemia generates intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is involved of free radicals in the pathogenesis of diabetes and more importantly in the development of diabetic complications. The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the antidiabeti...

EVALUATION OF PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF METHANOLIC EXTRACT OF LUFFA ECHINATA ROXB. FRUIT IN ACETIC ACID INDUCED INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE MODEL IN MICE
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes two major inflammatory disorders of gastrointestinal tract, Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The present study was designed to evaluate protective effect of methanolic extract of Luffa echinata Roxb. (MELE) fruit by using acetic acid induced IBD model in mice. Acute toxicity study was performed for MELE in Wistar rats. No signs of toxic...
