Susceptibility of sheep to oral administration of Citrullus colocynthis fruits, Nerium oleander leaves or their mixture is described in 12 sheep assigned as untreated controls, C. colocynthis-treated at 0.25g/kg/day, N. oleander-treated at 0.25g/kg and plant mixture-treated at 0.25g of C.

This case history describes clinical symptoms and pathological changes in a cat that are consistent with those of oleander intoxication. The clinical symptoms were characterized by vomiting, diarrhoea, and ventricular extrasystoles. On post-mortem examination focal degeneration and necrosis of the

Oleander poisoning has been reported in man and animals. The present experiments address the gross and microscopic changes due to oleander poisoning in cattle. Minimum lethal doses (50 mg/kg) of oleander leaves were orally administered to three calves in a single dose each of the other three animals

Toxic effects of yellow oleander (Thevetia neriifolia Juss) seed kernels were evaluated against the roof rat (Rattus rattus Linn). Crushed ground seed kernels were fed with bait at 20 and 30% concentrations. The bait was fed up to mortality or for a maximum of 10 d. Major signs of poisoning observed

Three horses died as a result of eating grass hay containing summer pheasant's eye (Adonis aestivalis L.), a plant containing cardenolides similar to oleander and foxglove. A 9-year-old thoroughbred gelding, a 20-year-old appaloosa gelding, and a 5-year-old quarter horse gelding initially presented

Ultrastructural changes in the integumentary cell walls of Nerium oleander L. were observed, starting with the beginning of nucellus degeneration. The cell walls in direct contact with the nucellus, followed in a regular progression by those of the next 2-3 cell layers, were seen to increase rapidly

Heteropneustes fossilis were subjected to 11.27 mg L(-1) (80% of 96 h LC50 ) and 2.81 mg L(-1) (20% of 96 h LC50 ) of Nerium indicum leaf extract for short-term and long-term, respectively. After sacrificing the fish, blood was collected on 24, 48, 72, and 96 h in short-term and after 7, 14, 21, and

Dried Nerium oleander leaves at single lethal dose of 110 mg/kg body weight were administered orally to six native male sheep. Clinical signs of toxicosis in sheep began to appear about 30 min after receiving the oleander and included decrease of the heart rate followed by cardiac pauses and

Nerium oleander is a plant that is frequently grown in gardens and public areas. N. oleander is distributed originally in subtropical Asia but is now growing in many parts of the world, such as the United States, Australia, China, and Middle East

Degeneration of neurons is a key problem in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and neuroprotection is a possible way to safeguard neurons from neurodegeneration. Polysaccharides isolated from Chinese medicinal herbs have been investigated extensively for their anti-tumor and immune stimulating effects. Yet,

Cases of poisoning by oleander (Nerium oleander) were observed in several species, except in goats. This study aimed to evaluate the pathological effects of oleander in goats. The experimental design used three goats per group: the control group, which did not receive oleander and the experimental

This study was aimed to find histological changes in the extrahepatic organs, hepatic iron deposition, and gene expression of some iron regulatory proteins in rats after sterile muscle abscess during the acute intoxication of Nerium oleander leaves decoction. 10 ml/kg of the leaves extract was

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common and debilitating degenerative disease resulting from massive degenerative loss of dopamine neurons, particularly in the substantia nigra. The most classic therapy for PD is levodopa administration, but the efficacy of levodopa treatment declines as the disease
