Protection of arsenic-induced hepatic disorder by arjunolic acid
(BLACKWELL, 2007-11)Arsenic is one of the ubiquitous environmental pollutants, which affects nearly all organ systems. The present study has been carried out to investigate the hepatoprotective role of arjunolic acid, a triterpenoid saponin, ... -
A 43 kD protein isolated from the herb Cajanus indicus L attenuates sodium fluoride-induced hepatic and renal disorders in vivo
(SPRINGER, 2007-05-31)The herb, Cajanus indicus L, is well known for its hepatoprotective action. A 43 kD protein has been isolated, purified and partially sequenced from the leaves of this herb. A number of in vivo and in vitro studies carried ... -
Attenuation of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo and in vitro by a 43-kD protein isolated from the herb Cajanus indicus L
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2007-08)The aim of this study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective role of a 43-kD protein (Hp-P) isolated from the leaves of Cajanus indicus L. against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced toxicity in mouse liver and in isolated hepatocytes. ... -
Phytomedicinal activity of Terminalia arjuna against carbon tetrachloride induced cardiac oxidative stress.
(ELSEVIER, 2007-10)Chronic and acute overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a positive role in the development of cardiovascular diseases under pathophysiological conditions. However, very little is known about carbon tetrachloride ... -
Attenuation of cadmium chloride induced cytotoxicity in murine hepatocytes by a protein isolated from the leaves of the herb Cajanus indicus L.
(SPRINGER, 2007-06)Cadmium has been recognized as a strong environmental pollutant. Exposure to this heavy metal occurs through the intake of foodstuffs, drinking water and also via the inhalation of air. Present study was conducted to ... -
Taurine, a conditionally essential amino acid, ameliorates arsenic-induced cytotoxicity in murine hepatocytes
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER, 2007-12)Arsenic is a potent environmental toxin. Present study has been designed to evaluate the protective role of taurine (2-aminoethane-sulfonic acid) against arsenic induced cytotoxicity in murine hepatocytes. Sodium arsenite ... -
Anti-oxidative effect of a protein from Cajanus indicus L against acetaminophen-induced hepato-nephro toxicity
(SPRINGER SINGAPORE, 2007-11-30)Overdoses of acetaminophen cause hepato-renal oxidative stress. The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect of a 43 kDa protein isolated from the herb Cajanus indicus, against acetaminophen-induced ... -
Arjunolic acid, a triterpenoid saponin, ameliorates arsenic-induced cyto-toxicity in hepatocytes
(ELSEVIER, 2007-12-15)Arsenic is a well-established environmental toxin, which damages various organs of the body. A triterpenoid saponin, arjunolic acid (AA) has been isolated from the bark of Terminalia arjuna. The present study was conducted ... -
Hepatocytes are protected by herb Phyllanthus niruri protein isolate against thioacetamide toxicity.
(ELSEVIER, 2007-10)The herb, Phyllanthus niruri has been known to possess protective activity against various drugs and toxins induced hepatic disorders. Present study was conducted to evaluate the role of the protein isolate of the herb ... -
Protective effect of arjunolic acid against arsenic-induced oxidative stress in mouse brain
(JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2008)Arsenic, a notoriously poisonous metalloid, is ubiquitous in the environment, and it affects nearly all organ systems of animals including humans. The present study was designed to investigate the preventive role of a ... -
Arsenic-induced oxidative myocardial injury: protective role of arjunolic acid
(SPRINGER, 2008-03)Arsenic, one of the most harmful metalloids, is ubiquitous in the environment. The present study has been carried out to investigate the protective role of a triterpenoid saponin, arjunolic acid (AA) against arsenic-induced ... -
Protection of arsenic-induced testicular oxidative stress by arjunolic acid
(MANEY PUBLISHING, 2008-04)Arsenic-induced tissue damage is a major concern to the human population. An impaired antioxidant defense mechanism followed by oxidative stress is the major cause of arsenic-induced toxicity, which can lead to reproductive ... -
Terminalia arjuna Protects Mouse Hearts Against Sodium Fluoride-Induced Oxidative Stress
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2008-12)Fluoride is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. In the current study we have investigated the antioxidative properties of an ethanol extract of the bark of Terminalia arjuna (T. arjuna ethanol extract [TAEE]) against ... -
Taurine protects the antioxidant defense system in the erythrocytes of cadmium treated mice
(KOREAN SOCIETY BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 2008-09-30)The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective role of taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) against cadmium (Cd) induced oxidative stress in murine erythrocytes. Cadmium chloride (CdCl2) was chosen as the ... -
Cadmium-induced neurological disorders: prophylactic role of taurine
(JOHN WILEY & SONS, 2008-11)The present study was conducted to investigate whether the conditionally essential amino acid taurine could play any protective role against the potent neurotoxin cadmium (Cd)-induced oxidative impairment in mice brain. ... -
Arjunolic acid attenuates arsenic-induced nephrotoxicity
(ELSEVIER, 2008-10)Arsenic is highly toxic naturally occurring element that affects numerous organ systems in humans. Present study was designed to investigate the preventive role of a triterpenoid saponin, arjunolic acid (AA) against ... -
