argemone gracilenta/glutathione

Several incidences of adverse effects on human health have been reported in many countries, due to consumption of edible oil adulterated with argemone oil (AO). The clinical manifestation of the disease is commonly referred to as epidemic dropsy. In the present study, we determined the relationship

Sanguinarine (SANG) has been suggested to be one of the principle constituents responsible for the toxicity of Argemone mexicana seed oil. In this study, we focused on the possible mechanism of SANG-induced hepatotoxicity. The serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT),

Consumption of adulterated mustard oil (Brassica nigra) with argemone oil (Argemone mexicana) even for a short duration leads to a clinical condition referred as epidemic dropsy. In humans, argemone oil contained in adulterated mustard oil causes oxidative stress and death of red blood cells via

Consumption of edible oils contaminated with Argemone mexicana seed oil is known to cause various clinical manifestations. In the present study, the effect of dietary intake of argemone oil on histopathological changes, haematological indices and selected marker parameters of toxicity was

In recent times, a higher incidence of gall bladder carcinoma in the Indo-Gangetic basin has been linked with the consumption of contaminated mustard oil. Consumption of mustard oil contaminated with argemone oil (AO) is well known to cause clinical manifestation referred to as "epidemic dropsy."

Oxidative damage of biomolecules and antioxidant status in erythrocytes of humans from an outbreak of argemone oil (AO) poisoning in Kannauj (India) and AO intoxicated experimental animals was investigated. Erythrocytes of the dropsy patients and AO treated rats were found to be more susceptible to

In the present study, the role of ROS and RNS in activation of inflammatory response and associated molecular events during apoptosis of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) in patients from an outbreak of argemone oil (AO) poisoning leading to epidemic dropsy in Lucknow, India was undertaken. It was

The in vivo effect of argemone oil on hepatic xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes was investigated in albino rats following either a single (10 ml kg-1 body wt.) or multiple intraparenteral doses (5 ml kg-1 body wt.) for three days. Animals sacrificed 72 h after a single intraparenteral dose of argemone

The role of antioxidants and scavengers on argemone oil-induced enzymatic and non-enzymatic hepatic lipid peroxidation was investigated in rats. Multiple treatment of argemone oil caused a significant stimulation of NADPH-dependent enzymatic or FeSO4 or FeSO4/ADP-or ascorbic acid-dependent

Since bioantioxidants in plasma of Epidemic Dropsy patients [a condition caused by consumption of adulterated mustard oil with argemone oil (AO)] were found to be significantly decreased, the beneficial effect of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and α-tocopherol (TOCO) against AO- or sanguinarine

In the present study, the tick isolates were collected from Assam state, of northeastern region (NER) and characterized using in vitro bioassay, biochemical and molecular assays. Comparing LC₅₀ value of susceptible IVRI-I and larvae of field isolates, revealed that RF against deltamethrin
