Title :  HEPATO PROTECTIVE ACTIVITY OF ETHYL ACETATE EXTRACT OF  ACACIA CATECHU
Abstract :      Hepatoprotective activity of ethyl acetate extract of Acacia catechu (Khadira)  (katha)  is  studied in rats. The  accute  liver  damage in albino rats is induced by a single subcutanious administration of 4 ml/kg dose of 50% v/v carbon tetrachloride in olive oil  and the chronic liver damage by 2 ml/kg twice a week for 14 days. The hapatoprotective   activity   was  monitered   biochemically   by estimating serum transminase, serum alkaline phosphstase and seum bilirubin  in both the cases after intraperitoneal  injection  of ethyl  acetate  extract  of  ‘katha’ (250mg/kg).  The histopathological  changes  of liver samples were  compared  with that  of  control.  The extract of  katha  inhibited  the  carbon tetrachloride induced liver damage in albino rats at 20mg/kg b.w. as assessed by the biochemical and histopathological values.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON HYPOCHOLESTEROLAEMIC EFFECT OF ALLICIN, WHOLE GERMINATED SEEDS OF BENGAL GRAM AND GUGGULIPID OF GUM GUGGLU

Abstract no :  4-1..4-DG-205 Author(s) :  Ghorai, M.; Mandal, S.C.; Pal, M.; Pal, S.P.; Saha, B.P Address :  (Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jadavpur University, Calcutta 700 032, WB, India) Source :  Phytotherapy Research, v. 14(3): p. 200-202, 2000 Title :  A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON HYPOCHOLESTEROLAEMIC EFFECT OF ALLICIN, WHOLE GERMINATED SEEDS OF BENGAL GRAM AND GUGGULIPID OF GUM GUGGLU Abstract :      The daily use of allicin (active principle from Allium sativum (LASUNA)) and whole germinated Bengal gram (Cicer arietinum (CHANAKA)) seeds for 8 weeks led to a significant decrease in serum cholesterol levels in normal volunteers with no side effects. Guggulipid (gum of Commiphora mukul (GUGGULU)) therapy, significantly (p less than 0.001) reduced the mean serum cholesterol level. Allicin treatment significantly reduced the mean serum cholesterol level. The serum cholesterol value was reduced d...

GERMINATED BARLEY FOODSTUFF IMPROVES CONSTIPATION INDUCED BY LOPERAMIDE IN RATS.

Author(s) :  . (Applied Bioresearch Center, Corporate Research and Development Division Kirin Brewery Company Limited, Miyaharacho 3, Takasaki, Gunma  370-1295, Japan), Address :  Kannuchi,0.; Hitomi, Y.; Agata, K.; Nakamura, T.; Fushiki, T Source :   Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, v. 62(9): p. 1788-1790, 1998 Title :  GERMINATED BARLEY FOODSTUFF IMPROVES CONSTIPATION INDUCED BY LOPERAMIDE IN RATS. Abstract :      The effects of germinated barley (YAVA) foodstuff (GBF) derived from the aleurone and scutellum fractions of germinated barley low-lignified hemicellulose were examined in Sprague-Dawley rats with constipation induced by Loperamide by addition to the diet (2 mg/kg body weight). Bowel movements were higher in the GBF-fed rats than in the cellulose-fed rats used as control. Fecal water content was also higher in the GBF-fed rats. The concentration of short chain fatty acids in cecal content, especially butyrate, was signi...
