Abstract: Lime squash is often used as a herbal remedy for gastritis, even though it is acidic. It contains citric acid and vitamin C which in certain doses can be irritant to the stomach. Nevertheless, lime squash also contains antioxidants such as limonene, flavonoids, and vitamin C, that play certain roles in improving the protection of the stomach and the ability of cell regeneration, and as anti-inflammatory agents. This study aimed to reveal the histopathological features of the gaster of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) treated with lime squash. This was an experimental laboratory study using 15 adult Wistar rats divided into three groups (five rats in each group). Group A (negative control) was given no treatment; group B and C were treated with lime squash 0.5 and 1.56 ml/day, respectively. Lime squash was given in a single dose for seven consecutive days. Rats were terminated on day eight. The results revealed that the gaster of Wistar rats in group A were similar to that of the normal gaster, while group B and C showed no signs of inflammation and the gastric gland cells appeared enlarged and dense. Conclusion: Histopathological features of the gaster of Wistar rats, treated with either low or high dose (three-fold) lime squash, showed no signs of abnormalities such as inflammation, however, there were enlarged glandular cells which might be related to increased gastric mucosal defence.Keywords: lime, gastric histopathological features, inflammatory cells, gastric glands Abstrak: Air perasan jeruk nipis sering digunakan sebagai obat herbal terhadap gastritis, meskipun bersifat asam.

Abstract: Androgenic-anabolic steroids (AAS) are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone endogenous testosterone that stimulates anabolic (protein synthesis) and androgenic effects (masculinization). Long-term usage of AAS can result in liver damage. However, physiological concentrations of testosterone can stimulate protein synthesis which lead to an increase in muscle size, body mass, and endurance. This study aimed to determine the histopathology of liver and skeletal muscles of wistar rats that were given low dose and high dose injection of AAS. Subjects were 21 wistar rats divided into 7 groups. Group A was given standard pellets for 56 days (negative control), terminated on days 29,43, and 57. Group B was treated with low-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 28 days, terminated on day 29. Group C was treated with low-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 42 days, terminated on day 43. Group D was treated with low-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 56 days, terminated on day 57. Group E was treated with high-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 28 days, terminated on day 29. Group F was treated with high-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 42 days, terminated on day 43. Group G was treated with high-dose AAS injection and standard pellets for 56 days, terminated on day 57. The results showed that the histopathology of liver and muscles in group A was still normal. In group B, the architecture of liver was still normal with a few inflammatory cells around the Kiernan triangle while in muscle the ratio of myofibril diameter was 1.28:1. In group C and group D, there were widening of the hepatic artery, bile duct, and portal vein containing blood fibrin, and inflammatory cells around the Kiernan triangle. The ratio of myofibril diameter was 1.43:1 in group C and 2.14:1 in group D. In group E, F and G, there were micro-vesicular fatty cells in the peripheral part of the liver meanwhile the myofibril diameter ratio of the muscles in group E was 1.43:1, group F 2.1:1, and group G 2.28:1. Conclusion: Administration of AAS injection of low dose and high dose for less than 4 weeks could result in inflammation, dilation of the portal vein, hepatic artery and bile duct meanwhile administration of AAS for over 4 weeks could ressult in focal fatty liver (steatosis). The administration of AAS injection of low dose and high dose for 4,6 and 8 weeks reslutid in enlargement of skeletal muscle (muscle hypertrophy).Keywords: androgenic-anabolic steroids, liver, skeletal muscleAbstrak: Anabolik Androgenik Steroid (AAS) adalah derivat sintetis dari hormon sex testosteron endogen pria, yang merangsang efek anabolik (sintesis protein) dan androgenik (maskulinisasi).

Background: Cadmium is a human carcinogen element and one of the most toxic pollutants in the environment. Present study aims at histomorphological study of some of the effects of Moringa oleifera oil and cashew (Anarcardium occidentale) nuts oil on Cadmium-induced liver damage in wistar rats. Methods: Thirty-five Wistar rats (80-180 g) were randomly selected and divided into seven groups of five rats each after acclimatization for two weeks. Group A which served as control received phosphate buffer, Group B received Cadmium only (3.5 mg/kg body weight). Group C received Vitamin C and Vitamin E; Group D received Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Cadmium. Group E received Cadmium and Moringa oleifera oil, Group F received Cadmium and Cashew nut oil and Group G received Cadmium (3.5 mg/kg body weight) and Moringa oleifera oil and Cashew (Anarcardium occidentale) nut oil. Results: Histological examination revealed normal histo-architecture of the liver, the central vein and the hepatocytes were seen clearly and there was orderly arrangement of the hepatocytes in Group A (control group). In group B, there was enlarged portal vein and there was distorted arrangement of the hepatocytes. In group C, the hepatocytes and the central vein were seen. In group D, the central vein and hepatocytes were seen though not orderly arranged. In groups E, F and G, there was restoration of the hepatocytes and the central vein was seen. Conclusion: This therefore suggests that Moringa oleifera oil and Cashew (Anarcardium occidentale) nut oil have ameliorative effects which led to the restoration of the damaged and distorted hepatocytes.

Abstract: Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a traditional plant, which is known to treat liver disease. The effect of moringa is related to the antioxidant activity of its compounds such as quercetin and flavonoid silymarin which are useful as liver protector. Carbon tetraclorida is a hepatotoxic substance that is usually used as an inducer of liver damage in studies related to hepatoprotector activity of a substance. This study aimed to describe liver histopathological features of Wistar rats fed with moringa leaf extract after CCl4 induction. This was an experimental study using 24 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) which were divided into 4 groups. Group A, the negative control, was terminated at day 6th, and the other groups (B, C, and D) were induced with CCl4 0.05 cc/day for 5 days. After CCl4 induction, group B were terminated at day 6th; group C was treated with moringa leaf extract 100 mg/day for 5 days and was terminated at day 11th; group D received no treatment for 5 days and was terminated at day 11th. The results showed that groups induced with CCl4 for 5 days showed the presence of inflammatory cells and fatty cells. The groups treated with moringa leaf extract 100mg/day for 5 days after CCl4 induction 0.05 cc/day exhibited regeneration of liver cells in nearly all lobules.
