Abstract:Pancytopenia is a health condition in which there is a reduction in the amount of leucocytes, erythrocytes and thrombocytes. If more than one of the blood cells is low then the condition is called as bicytopenia. The pancytopenic condition is observed in treatment of diseased conditions like thalassemia and hepatitis C. Iatrogenically pancytopenia is caused by some antibiotics and anti-HCV drugs. Medical conditions like aplastic anaemia, lymphoma, copper deficiency, and so forth can also cause pancytopenia. Pancytopenia can in turn decrease the immunity of the person and thereby can be fatal. Current therapies for pancytopenia include bone marrow stimulant drugs, blood transfusion and bone marrow transplant. The current therapies are very excruciating and have long-term side-effects. Therefore, treating these condition using herbal drugs is very important. Herbs like wheatgrass, papaya leaves and garlic are effective in treating single lineage cytopenias. The present review is focused on the potential effects of natural herbs for the treatment of pancytopenia.

ABSTRACT… Objectives:To determine the effects of Allium sativum essential oil (ASEO) phytotherapy on serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDLc, LDLc and blood cell counts in albino rat model. Study design: Experimental study. Setting and Duration: Animal House, Sindh Agriculture University and Isra University Hyderabad from May 2014 to January 2015. Materials and Methods: 60 albino rats were divided into four groups. Controls were given Placebo. Experimental rat groups were given ASEO 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg orally for 30 days. Cardiac puncture was performed for blood sampling. Research variables were analyzed on Statistix 10.0 (USA). Results: Blood lipids showed significant reduction in various blood lipid fractions. Serum LDLc exhibited with a concomitant rise in serum HDLc (p =0.0001) in high ASEO treated rats. Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelet showed significant improvement ASEO fed rats (p=0.001). Conclusion: Allium sativum essential oil (ASEO) phytotherapy showed a rise in HDLc and a reduction in LDLc, triglycerides and total cholesterol with improvement in red blood cell counts. Key words:Allium sativum essential oil Blood lipids LDLc HDLc Blood cell counts Rats. Article Citation: Irshad F, Mawani H, Naz S.

“…Levels of the mean final serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) concentration in the atherosclerotic control rats increased by roughly 6 times than that in the normal controls ones. Ebrahimi et al deliberated on the male rats found higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) concentration (LDL) [36]. Ratios of the mean final serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) in the garlic treated rats was roughly 58% lower than that in the atherosclerotic control ones.…”
