Daucus carota commonly known as carrot, is widely used in European folk medicine for the treatment of jaundice and hepatic disorders. Oral administration of carrot extract (25 mL/kg/day) for 30 days produced significant hepatoprotection against lindane (20 mg/kg/day) induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
The present study investigated the anticonvulsant profile of Withania somnifera (W.s) in a lithium-pilocarpine model of status epilepticus (SE) in rats. Acute treatment with the root extract of W.s prolonged the latency to forelimb clonus but failed to protect against mortality. Acute pretreatment w
The mechanism by which taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) protects hepatocytes injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is not fully understood. In a previous study, we reported that cellular polyamines play an important role in this mechanism. The relationship between cellular glutathione (G
The effects of Fructus Schisandrae (Schizandra Chinensis, (FS) on cycloheximide (CXM)-induced amnesia by using a passive avoidance task were studied in rats. FS at 0.25 and 0.75 g/kg administered for 1 week significantly prolonged the CXM-shortened step-through latency (STL). Of the fractions (n-hex
