Amelorative action of different solvent extractions of Tribulus terrestris (Linn.) extract on blood transaminase activities of mercuric chloride poisoned mice, Mus musculus (Linn.)

Haematological parameters are considered as promising indicators of the physiological status of the animal.  The present study was carried out on the influence of different solvent extractions of Tribulus terrestris extract on mercuric chloride (1.2 mg/kg body weight) intoxicated mice.  An enhanced level of  aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) activities and bilirubin content were noticed in mercury intoxicated animal. The increased in the enzymatic activity may be due to the damage to the cells of liver caused by the heavy metal. But, the mercury intoxicated mice were treated with different solvent extraction of Tribulus terrestris  showed the restoration of haematological parameters

ANTIDOTAL RECOVERY IN CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM OF MERCURY INTOXICATED MICE, MUS MUSCULUS (LINN.)

Penicillamine is also one of the antidote for heavy metal poisoning. The sub-lethal dose of mercuric chloride on carbohydrate metabolism in mice results in an initial increase and concomitant decrease of glycogen content in brain and liver tissues respectively. The glucose content shows decreased level in all tissues (brain, liver, muscle and kidney) to meet extra energy demand due to mercury toxicity. Antidote shows a remarkable recovery on carbohydrate metabolism in mercury toxicated mice

SCREENING OF RESPONSES OF ADULT KHAPRA BEETLE, TROGODERMA GRANARIUM E. ON TEN PLANTS SPECIES FOR POSSIBLE REPELLENT ACTION

Penicillamine is also one of the antidote for heavy metal poisoning.

The glucose content shows decreased level in all tissues (brain, liver, muscle and kidney) to meet extra energy demand due to mercury toxicity.
