Ovarian hormone decline after menopause is linked to many pathophysiological reactions. Dyslipida... more Ovarian hormone decline after menopause is linked to many pathophysiological reactions. Dyslipidaemia is often seen in postmenopausal women and is characterized by an overall shift toward a more atherogenic lipid profile (Juliana et al., 2011; Rachon et al., 2008). Its incidence increases after menopause due to decreased oestrogen level, since oestrogens are involved in cholesterol metabolism by lowering LDL and increasing HDL concentrations in plasma (Juliana et al., 2011; El-Swefy et al., 2002). It is well known that oestrogens, acting as free radical scavengers, break the free radical chain formation produced from membrane oxidation processes and hence inhibit lipid and protein oxidation (Juliana et al., 2011; Akçay et al., 2000). Estrogens have antioxidant properties and can inhibit lipid peroxidation in vitro (Saeedeh et al., 2013; Arteaga et al., 2003). After menopause, the incidence of cardiovascular disease increases (Saeedeh et al., 2013; Castelao et al., 2008). As antioxid...

Four concentrations (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/ml) of each extracts were studied in activity, which involved the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worm. Piperazine citrate (15 mg/ml) was taken as a reference standard drug and distilled water as control. When the dose of extract gradually increased Murraya Koenigii shows gradual increase in anthelmintic activity characterized by paralysis of earthworm and its death. The ethanolic extract showed better anthelmintic activity as compared with petroleum ether extract. From the results of the present study, it concluded that the ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Murraya koenigii fruit possesses anthelmintic activity. The present study is further supported by isolation of two carbazole alkaloids from fruit extract which may be responsibl...

There are several factors involves in the pathogenesis of AD e.g. involvement of cholinesterase enzyme, oxidative free radicals and high cholesterol level promoting risk for and exacerbating AD pathology. In the light of this, the present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of petroleum ether extracts (300 and 500mg/kg p.o.) of Murraya koenigii leaves (MKL) on memory in aged mice. The study was also undertaken to evaluate for cholinesterase and cholesterol level. The result of the present study indicates that administration of MKL for 15 days produce significant dose dependant improvement of memory. The results also indicate to reduce the brain cholinesterase activity and total cholesterol levels respectively. Thus it concludes that the underlying mechanism of action for the observed nootropic effect may be attributed to anticholi...

The antioxidant actions are keys to preventing or reversing diabetes and its complications. Thus the aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant potential of ethanolic Murraya koenigii leaves (MKL) extract on Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) as index of lipid peroxidation and on the glycemic control in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Effect of oral administration of MKL (300 and 500 mg/kg) on the level of blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin, on TBARS and glycogen levels were estimated in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Glibenclamide was used as a standard drug. The elevated level of blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin, TBARS observed in diabetic rats were significantly altered compared to control but it not come to normal level after treatment with MKL for 15 days in diabetic rats. From the resul...

Barely sixty five percent of the students agreed with to use alternative of life animals like mice and rats for experimentation purpose in education, an overwhelming majority (seventy four percent) felt that the animal experiments involved needless pain and suffering to the animals. A large majority of students felt the need to reduce the number of animals by demonstrating the practical, to explore alternatives to the animal experiments, and to restrict animal experiments for research on life threatening diseases. More than half of the students were unaware of the government regulations on animal experiments. Students considered, underst...

Dyslipidaemia is often seen in postmenopausal women and is characterized by an overall shift toward a more atherogenic lipid profile (Juliana et al., 2011; Rachon et al., 2008). Its incidence increases after menopause due to decreased oestrogen level, since oestrogens are involved in cholesterol metabolism by lowering LDL and increasing HDL concentrations in plasma (Juliana et al., 2011; El-Swefy et al., 2002). It is well known that oestrogens, acting as free radical scavengers, break the free radical chain formation produced from membrane oxidation processes and hence inhibit lipid and protein oxidation (Juliana et al., 2011; Akçay et al., 2000). Estrogens have antioxidant properties and can inhibit lipid peroxidation in vitro (Saeedeh et al., 2013; Arteaga et al., 2003). After menopause, the incidence of cardiovascular disease increases (Saeedeh et al., 2013; Castelao et al., 2008). As antioxid...
