Journal ArticleDOI

Antihypercholesterolaemic effect of ginger rhizome ( Zingiber officinale ) in rats

TL;DR: The results revealed that the hypercholesterolaemic rats treated with aqueous ginger infusion in the three doses used after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment induce significant decrease in all lipid profile parameters which were measured and improved the risk ratio.

Effect of Boswellia serrata on Alzheimer's disease induced in rats

TL;DR: The treatment of AD-induced rats with aqueous infusions of B. serrata significantly ameliorates the neurodegenerative characteristics of ADs in rats, consistent with the histopathological findings in brain tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of insulin resistance in D-galactose-induced age-related dementia in rats: Protective role of metformin and saxagliptin

TL;DR: The findings suggest that D-gal model of aging results in a diminishing of learning and memory function by producing a state of impaired insulin signaling that causes a cascade of deleterious events like oxidative stress, inflammation, and tau hyper-phosphorylation, and reversed by the use of insulin-sensitizing drugs like Met and Saxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue distribution and efficacy of gold nanorods coupled with laser induced photoplasmonic therapy in ehrlich carcinoma solid tumor model.

TL;DR: The concentration of GNR achieved within tumors microregions after I.V.T. administration was sufficient to elicit tumoral growth arrest when coupled with laser-aided photoplasmonic treatment, and tissue distribution of PEGylated GNRs was similar to intratumoral administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-depressant effect of hesperidin in diabetic rats

TL;DR: Hsp exerted anti-depressant effect in diabetic rats, which may have been partly mediated by its amelioration of hyperglycaemia as well as its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, the enhancement of neurogenesis, and changes in the levels of monoamines in the brain.
