Investigation of 2, 4-D Hepatotoxicity and Lepidium sativum Antitoxicity on Rat Tissue using FT-IR Spectroscopy
Abstract: Pesticides have been proven to induce various toxicities in animals, plants and humans. The current study aimed to apply FTIR spectroscopy for the investigation of the antitoxic effect of the medicinal plant Lepidium sativum (LS) against the pesticide 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) hepatotoxicity. Twelve male albino Wister rats were divided into four groups (control, protective, curative and LS only) and were treated for 4 weeks. Results indicated that the …

In-Vitro and In-Vivo Anti-Adipogenecity Activity of Two Plants using Rat Models
Abstract: This study examines how extracts of plant affect the dyslipidaemic state of fatty acid induced rats. Eight days following induction for differentiation with C-DMEM and simultaneously tested with the extracts of plant (day 8), our study found significantly reduced (p < 0.05) intracellular lipid accumulations in white muscle cells in the rats. This compared positively against the smaller reduction in accumulation found in the standard drug streptozotosin (STZ). This suppressing …
