Objectives: To observe the effects of Moringa Oleifera leaves extract on BPA induced changes (Diameter of hepatocytes and vacuolization) in liver of rats. Study Design: Experimental study, conducted at Post Graduate Medical Institute. Methodology: This study was performed on 32 adult rats for seven weeks. They were divided into 4 equal groups A, B, C and D. Group A was control received corn oil only. Group B, received BPA only 50mg/kg/bw. Group C and D received BPA 50mg/kg along with MoLE 250mg and 500mg. Liver was removed and was fixed in 10% formalin. To observe the effect of BPA and MoLE, slides were prepared for histological examination. For Hepatocytes, diameter and vacuolization was observed. The statistical analysis of results was done by using SPSS 21. Result: In group B, vacuolization (87.5% of animals) and statistical significant increase in mean diameter (19.7±1.3) of hepatocytes was seen. Presence of vacuoles has presumably lead to an increase in diameter . However in Groups C 50% of animals showed vacuolization and mean mean hepatocyte diameter was 17.0±1.1. In Group D 25% of animals showed vacuolization and mean mean hepatocyte diameter decreased to14.6±1 after administration of MoLE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
