TL;DR: Boerhaavia diffusa, Linn (Fam: Nyctagenaceae), is widely used for the treatment of Jaundice in various parts of India and cancer chemopreventive property of B. diffusa was evaluated on 7,12-dimethyl benz(a)anthracene (DMBA) induced skin papillomagenesis in male Swiss albino mice.
Abstract: Boerhaavia diffusa, Linn (Fam: Nyctagenaceae), is widely used for the treatment of Jaundice in various parts of India. In the present study, cancer chemopreventive property of B. diffusa was evaluated on 7,12-dimethyl benz(a)anthracene (DMBA) induced skin papillomagenesis in male Swiss albino mice (6-7 weeks old). A single topical application of 7,12-dimethyl benz(a)anthracene (50 microg/50 microl of acetone), followed 2 weeks later by repeated application of croton oil (1% in acetone three times a week) and continued till the end of the experiment exhibited 100% tumor incidence. In contrast, mice treated topically on the shaven backs with the Boerhaavia diffusa extract at either the peri-initiational phase (i.e. 7 days before and 7 days after the application of DMBA; Group II), post initiational phase (i.e. from the day of start of croton oil treatment and continued till the end of the experiment; Group III) or continuously at the peri- and post-initiational stages (i.e. 7 days prior to DMBA application and continued till the end of the experiment; Group IV), a significant reduction in the values of tumor incidence (Group II - 65%; Group III - 30%; Group IV - 25%), average number of tumors per tumor bearing mouse (Group II - 2.8; Group III - 0.75; Group IV - 0.35) and papillomas per papilloma bearing mouse (Group II - 3.1; Group III - 2.5; Group IV - 1.2) were observed.

TL;DR: There was no significant effect was noticed on the addition of the peppermint to the diet on blood traits (PCV%, RBC, Hb% and WBC) , unless liver weight shows that were significant between treatments compared with control.
Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed diets supplemented with dry peppermint (Mentha piperita L.),which are among the alternative growth promoters. A total of 200 (Hubbard ) broiler chicks were used in this study Five levels of whole peppermint, 0.00%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% were incorporated into the basal diet for six weeks . The feeding period for all groups lasted for 42 days. The results have appeared that there is an improvement in performance traits for all treated groups compared with the control group. However, the chicks feed with 0.50 % peppermint performed better than those fed with 1.5% peppermint concerning weekly body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and dressing percent, there was no significant effect was noticed on the addition of the peppermint to the diet on blood traits (PCV% , RBC , Hb% and WBC) , unless liver weight shows that were significant between treatments compared with control. For the H/L ratio shows significant difference between treatments compared with control.

TL;DR: A role of the opioid system in the antidiarrhoeal activity of the Albizzia lebbeck seeds extract is indicated, which strengthens the earlier use of the seeds in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery.
Abstract: The antidiarrhoeal activity of the seed extract of Albizzia lebbeck (Benth.) was investigated employing conventional rodent models of diarrhoea, i.e. castor oil-induced diarrhoea, upper gastrointestinal transit (u.g.t.) and fluid secretion. It was found that the aqueous methanol extract of Albizzia lebbeck seeds (2.5-5 mg/kg i.p.) possessed antidiarrhoeal activity which strengthens the earlier use of the seeds in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery. The antidiarrhoeal dose of the extract was at least 10-30 times less than the LD(50) dose. The extract (2.5-5 mg/kg i.p.) potentiated the antidiarrhoeal activity of loperamide (1 mg/kg i.p.). Nalaxone (0.5 mg/kg i.p.) significantly inhibited the antidiarrhoeal activity of the extract as well as loperamide, thus indicating a role of the opioid system in the antidiarrhoeal activity of the extract.
