The selenium (Se) content of the diet and/or selenium supplements might have an ameliorating effect on arsenic (As) toxicity as recently shown by Wang et al., Yang et al., and as reviewed by Spallholz et al.. The underlying principles of the ameliorating effect is the complexation of Se with As

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vitro oxidation potential of lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4 naphthoquinone). Lawsone is a chemical present in henna, the crushed leaves of which are used worldwide as a cosmetic agent to stain the hair, skin, and nails. METHODS Venous blood from glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

The oral administration in varying doses of aqueous suspension of extract of L. alba, bark extract to rats for 10 days afforded good hepatoprotection against CCl4 induced elevation in serum marker enzymes, serum bilirubin, liver lipid peroxidation and reduction in total serum protein, liver

Henna leaf (Lawsonia inermis), commonly known as Mehndi is cultivated throughout India and is a very popular natural dye to color hand and hair. It is an integral part of indigenous culture, and is also known for its medicinal value. The effect of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight of 80% ethanolic

Background and Objective: Medicinal plants represent an important source of alternative medicine for the management of various diseases. The present study was undertaken to assess the potential of Lawsonia inermis ethanol (Li.Et) and chloroform (Li.Chf) extracts as memory-enhancing

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Lawsonia inermis total methanolic extract (LIE) and octreotide (OC) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, depending on somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR-2) and Alfa fetoprotein (AFP) perturbations. METHODS Sixty albino mice, divided into five groups

The hepatoprotective activity of the 50% ethanol extract of the bark of Lawsonia alba syn. L. inermis was investigated against the carbon tetrachloride-induced oxidative stress. Pretreatment of rats with doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg of the plant extract significantly (P < 0.001) lowered serum

This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant properties of different fractions obtained from the fruits of Lawsonia inermis, a widely used medicinal plant, against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced oxidative stress in rat liver. The results show that several fractions obtained from L. inermis

BACKGROUND Lawsonia inermis L. is a well-documented plant for cosmetic as well as medicinal properties. It is used by local communities in India and Nigeria for the treatment of many parasitic diseases, including malaria. UNASSIGNED Earlier studies on the plant's antiplasmodial activity were not

The number of consumer products containing nanoparticles (NPs) experienced a rapid increase during the past decades. However, most studies of nanosafety have been conducted using only pure NPs produced in the laboratory while the interactions with other ingredients in consumer products have rarely

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of the polyherbal formulation (PHF)containing Cajanus cajan (L.)Millsp., Lawsonia inermis L. Linn, Mimosa pudica L., Uraria picta (Jacq.)DC. and Operculina turpethum (L.)Silva Manso on carbon
