TL;DR: Picroliv, a standardised glycoside fraction of Picrorhiza kurroa, in doses of 12.5 and 25 mg/kg prevented most of the biochemical changes induced by thioacetamide in liver and serum and was comparable with that of silymarin, a known hepatoprotective agent obtained from seeds of Silybum marianum.
Abstract: Thioacetamide (100 mg/kg), when administered to normal rats, caused a significant increase in the activities of 5'-nucleotidase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and a decrease in the activities of glucose 6-phosphatase and succinate dehydrogenase enzymes in the liver. DNA, RNA, and proteins were increased while the cytochrome P450 in the microsomal fraction and the glycogen content in the liver were decreased significantly. Elevations in the activities of GOT, GPT, and alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin content in serum were also observed. Picroliv, a standardised glycoside fraction of Picrorhiza kurroa, in doses of 12.5 and 25 mg/kg prevented most of the biochemical changes induced by thioacetamide in liver and serum. The hepatoprotective activity of Picroliv was comparable with that of silymarin, a known hepatoprotective agent obtained from seeds of Silybum marianum.

TL;DR: Enhanced neuroinflammation (increased Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) & nuclear factor kappa‐light‐chain‐enhancer of activated B cells (NF&kgr;B) and diminished insulin signaling was observed in this study in both neurogenic areas, however the extent to which they may have negative impact on neurogenes is yet to be explored.

TL;DR: Hexane extract of the seeds of Nigella sativa L. prevented pregnancy in Sprague-Dawley rats treated orally at 2 g/kg daily dose on days 1-10 post-coitum and was devoid of any estrogenicity in the immature rat bioassay.
Abstract: Hexane extract of the seeds of Nigella sativa L. prevented pregnancy in Sprague-Dawley rats treated orally at 2 g/kg daily dose on days 1-10 post-coitum. Significant antifertility activity was also observed in its column fractions and subfractions. At contraceptive dose, the active hexane extract exhibited only mild uterotrophic activity comparable almost to 0.002 mg/kg dose of 17 varies; is directly proportional to-Ethinylestradiol, but was devoid of any estrogenicity in the immature rat bioassay.

TL;DR: The results suggest that these newer formulations (plain and ligand appended emulsomes) are a promising alternative to the conventional AmB-Doc formulation for the treatment of VL.
Abstract: Amphotericin B (AmB) was formulated in trilaurin-based emulsomes (nanosize lipid particles) stabilized by soya phosphatidylcholine (PC), as a new delivery system for macrophage targeting for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Emulsomes were modified by coating them with macrophage-specific ligand (O-palmitoyl mannan, OPM). The antileishmanial activity of AmB-deoxycholate (AmB-Doc) and emulsome entrapped AmB was tested in vitro in Leishmania donovani infected macrophage-amastigote system (J774A.1 cells), which showed higher efficacy of OPM grafted AmB emulsomes (TLEs-OPM) over plain AmB emulsomes (TLEs) and AmB-Doc. The in vivo antileishmanial activity of the AmB (0.5 mg/kg) was tested in AmB-Doc, TLEs and TLEs-OPM forms against VL in L. donovani infected hamsters. Formulation TLEs-OPM eliminated intracellular amastigotes of L. donovani within splenic macrophages more efficiently (73.7 ± 6.7% parasite inhibition) than the formulation TLEs (51.7 ± 5.4% parasite inhibition) (P < 0.01) or AmB-Doc (...
