Assesment of Hepatoprotective Activity of Roots and Barks of Achyranthes Aspera in Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats

Abstract

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a colorless liquid organic compound which is used for household work. Mainly liver and kidney of human are the major organs for CCl4 toxicity. Liver can damage after 24 hours of CCl4 ingestion and can cause severe fatal symptoms including painful swollen liver, hemorrhages, hepatic coma leading to death. We examined the effect of CCl4 on rat liver. Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and serum bilirubin levels are used as a biomarker for the hepatotoxicity. Our goal was to determine the effect of SGPT and bilirubin level by using methanolic extract of Achyranthes aspera (Amaranthaceae) roots and barks on CCl4 induced rats. After completing the fractionation process these extracts was induced in the rat's body in a dose dependent manner. Our result demonstrated that carbon tetrachloride caused the hepatotoxicity in rats where 1 ml/kg body weight of carbon tetrachloride significantly increased the SGPT and bilirubin level in one day treatment, while 0.25 ml/kg and 0.50 ml/ kg body weight of CCl4 on one day treatment did not have significant effect on SGPT and bilirubin level. But the low dose of CCl4 such as 0.5 ml/kg of body weight for longer period treatment caused the hepatotoxicity. CCl4 induced controlled group was treated with dexamethasone 2.0 mg/kg, 4mg/kg, 6.0 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg body weight to compare with plant extract activity. A significant result was found that the methanolic extract of root is responsive against CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity where the doses were 10mg/kg, 20mg/kg and 30 mg/kg.

Determination of environmental effects on production efficiency of agricultural demonstration zones

“…By integrating a large amount of modern human capital and science and technology to realize the unity of economic, social production efficiency using DEA, was made and "default production function" was replaced with "non-default production function" and studied with the agricultural productivity in the United Kingdom combined with the mathematical programming model (Farrell, 1957;Hanley and Oglethorpe, 1998). Subsequently, the DEA model was used to calculate the technical efficiency of Swedish dairy farms and Thai farms (Krasachat, 2009;Hasanov and Nomman, 2011;Fahim and Sathi, 2018). In other studies, DEA method was employed to analyze agricultural production efficiency and related influencing factors detailed of Uzbekistan, Indian states and Brazilian states (Theodoridis, 2014;Ray and Ghose, 2014;Souza and Gomes, 2015).…”

Effect of corn straw manure as dairy manure on productivity and profitability of wheat at huang-huai-hai plain

“…At corn harvest, yield monitor was taken by 5-point sampling method with each 2 point 1 m . The main indexes included ear number per unit, grain number per ear, and then calculated yield with those indexes (Weixing et al, 2011;Fahim and Sathi, 2018).…”

Doubling Effect of Anti-microtubule Herbicides on the Maize Haploid

“…However, few studies are about haploid doubling by treated with antimicrotubule herbicides in maize. In order to choose a low toxic and effective haploid doubling reagent, two kinds of anti-microtubules, AMP and Oryzalin, and colchicine were used to treat seeds, buds, and shoots of maize haploids in different concentrations at different growth time points (Howlader et al, 2018;H'ng et al, 2018;Fahim and Sathi, 2018). Moreover, the results of this study may provide the theory basis and feasible measure for improving the technology of haploid doubling in maize.…”
