Hepatoprotective activity of the roots of Decalepis hamiltonii (Wight and Arn) was studied using carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) induced liver injury model in albino rats. The hepatotoxicity produced by acute CCl(4) administration was found to be inhibited by pretreating the rats with crude methanolic
OBJECTIVE
Decalepis hamiltonii roots are traditionally consumed as general vitalizer and used in ayurvedic medicine preparations. We have isolated/characterized potent antioxidants from the aqueous extract of the root of this plant. In this study, we examined the antioxidant potential of the aqueous
BACKGROUND
Cyclophosphamide (CP), one of the most widely used antineoplastic drugs, causes toxic side effects on vital organs including brain. In this study, we have investigated neuroprotective potential of the aqueous extract of the roots of Decalepis hamiltonii (DHA) against CP-induced oxidative
Hepatoprotective potential of the aqueous extract of the roots of Decalepis hamiltonii (DHA) against cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced oxidative stress has been investigated in mice. Administration of CP (25mg/kg b.w., i.p) for 10 days induced hepatic damage as indicated by the serum marker enzymes
