Neem (Azadirachta indica L.) leaf has been widely used in ayurvedic system of medicine for fertility regulation for a long time. The molecular mechanism by which neem leaf regulates female fertility remains poorly understood. Animal studies suggest that aqueous neem leaf extract (NLE) induces
Environmental deterioration due to crude oil contamination and abandoned drill sites is an ecological concern in Assam. To revive such contaminated sites, afield study was conducted to phytoremediate four crude oil abandoned drill sites of Assam (Gelakey, Amguri, Lakwa, and Borholla) with the aid of
The effects of Azadirachta indica leaves (500 mg/kg body weight, orally/day), testosterone (0.25 mg/kg body weight/day, intramuscularly) and a combination of these two were investigated as to whether Azadirachta indica leaves affect the morphology of Leydig cells and epididymal sperm and their
Azadirachta indica leaf powder, 0.05 mg testosterone, or combined leaf powder + testosterone was administered for 48 days to different groups of 3-month-old albino rats. Twenty-four hours after the final dose, the treated animals received mild ether anesthesia and the testes were dissected out and
The effects produced by the administration of aqueous suspensions of the green or dried leaves of Azadirachta indica, a common tropical plant, were investigated in goats and guinea pigs. At doses of 50 or 200 mg/kg given orally over a period of up to eight weeks, the plant produced a progressive
The present study reports the histopathological, ultrastructural changes and modulation of NF-kappaB, AP-1, and STAT 1 during skin carcinogenesis in LACA mice and its intervention with Azadirachta indica. Skin tumors were induced by topical application of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) (500
The male albino rat testis and liver showed tissue modification upon exposure to phenobarbitol (PB), 24 mg/100 g of body weight, for about 3 weeks and upon staining of their sections with hematoxylin and eosin. In this procedure, the control liver showed normal hepatocytes with centrally placed
Cytomorphological changes, by means of ultrastructural analyses, have been used to determine the effects of the biopesticide neem oil on the muscle fibers of the midgut of the predator Ceraeochrysa claveri. Insects, throughout the larval period, were fed eggs of Diatraea saccharalis treated with
Gasterophiline larvae are of veterinary and medical importance caused specific equine intestinal myiasis. Gasterophilus intestinalis (Botfly larvae) had a wide geographical distribution. The present study explores the prevalence rate of G. intestinalis 3rd stage
Applications of neem, Azadirachta indica (Meliaceae), to rice-fields were evaluated with the dual objective of controlling the culicine mosquito vectors of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and enhancing the grain yield. Since crude neem products deteriorate under improper storage conditions, a
Histological and biochemical changes in the testis of rats treated with the leaf powder of A. indica are reported. The pattern of recovery is also studied at 8, 16 and 24 day after withdrawal of the treatment. In the treated rats, a general reduction in the diameters of seminiferous tubule, nuclei
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether aqueous neem leaf extract (NLE) could induce degeneration of rat oocytes and, if so, whether apoptosis is involved during NLE-induced degeneration of oocytes cultured in vitro.
METHODS
A controlled prospective study.
METHODS
Laboratory research setting at Department of
Doxorubicin (DOX) treatment (12 microg/g body weight, once a week for 2 weeks) resulted in a significant decrease in the heart rate along with an increase in QRS, ST, and QT intervals. Histopathological studies showed cardiomyocyte degeneration, cytoplasmic vacuolation and macrophage infiltration in
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of CAG repeats in the coding area of huntingtin gene. In the HD brain, mutant huntingtin protein goes through proteolysis, and its amino-terminal portion consisting of polyglutamine repeats
The chloroformic extracts from dried fresh leaves ofAzadirachta indica A. Juss. and Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) showed marked inhibitory activity on epimastigotes growth of Trypanosoma cruzi, evidenced by 96-wells microtiter plate bioassay and radioactive thymidine incorporation experiment. Each
