Title :  HEPATOPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF GUDAPIPPALI, VASAGULUCHYADI ARKORN, PATOLAKATUROHINYADI ARKORN, DRAKSHADI ARKORN AND MADANTHA DECOCTION ON RATS - A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Abstract :      The effect of a few composite Ayurvedic preparations and a leaf decoction in reducing CC14 induced hepatic injury was studied in albino rats. Drug administration for 10 days could significantly reduce the elevated enzyme levels as well as reduce the wet liver weight. Various drugs tried were effective to varying degrees. Maximum reduction in serum and liver enzyme levels as well as serum bilirubin was brought about by PATOLAKATUROHINYADI ARKAM indicating its superiority over the other drugs and its potential for further exploitation in the treatment of hepatocellular damage.

(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...
