Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing area of scientific interest due to its wide applications in catalysis, solar energy, waste management, and sensing technology. Nanomaterials are efficiently used in the field of medicine for the purpose of drug delivery, diagnosis, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, wound healing, and development of antimicrobial agents. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Costus afer-AgNPs extract on the PCV level of male rats. In this experimental study, 18 adult male rats were used. The rats were randomly divided into six groups. The first group (control) adequately consumed compressed food and water without any restrictions during the experiment. The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth experimental groups respectively consumed 200mg, 400mg, 600mg, 800mg, and 1000mg Costus afer-AgNPs extract per kilogram body weight in a daily manner. Blood samples were taken from all groups after four weeks through anesthesia. PCV and Hb test was carried out using the blood serum. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS, ANOVA, and LSD tests. PCV levels significantly increased...

Background: The current study was conducted at the department of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology to assess the impact of Emblica officinalis on oxidative stress produced by sub-acute enrofloxacin exposure in albino rats. Methodology: Albino rats weighing 200-300 grams were given enrofloxacin and Emblica officinalis orally through gavage needle. Blood samples were taken via capillary tube on the 28th day of the experiment and analyzed using laboratory procedures. Result: Sub-acute treatment of enrofloxacin at doses of 5 mg/kg b.wt. and 10 mg/kg b.wt. generated oxidative stress in rats, as evidenced by substantial changes in oxidative parameters, and affected liver and kidney functions, as seen by changes in biochemical markers of liver and kidney function. Emblica officinalis aqueous extract (200 mg/kg b. wt.) effectively reduces oxidative stress and changes in hepatic and renal function caused by enrofloxacin. Conclusion: Emblica officinalis (Amla) has antioxidant properties and can reduce oxidative stress caused by enrofloxacin in albino rats following sub-acute...

Herbal medicines are widely used since time immemorial indicating that herbs are a growing part of modern, high-tech medicine. Current advancement in drug discovery technology and search for novel chemical diversity have intensified the efforts for exploring lead from “Ayurveda” the traditional system of medicine in India. Achyranthes aspera Linn. (Amaranthaceae) has been important coniferous plant in ayurvedic and indigenous medicinal systems. The medicinal plants are used for treatment of various diseases because of their safety and effectiveness. The problem of microbial resistance is growing and the outlook for the use of anti-microbial drugs in the future is still uncertain. The Clinical trials and animal research support the use of Achyranthes aspera for anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial, anti-ulcer genic, treatment of emotional stress and trauma, anti-microbial, insecticidal, fungicidal, asthma. Though almost all of its parts are used in traditional systems of medicines, seeds, roots and shoots are the most important parts which are used medicinally.
