Background: Plant derived medicines are widely used in traditional culture all over the world. Objectives: To determine the effect of Celery Seed Extract (CSE) on uric acid levels in hyperuricemic rats and to compare the effect of allopurinol and CSE. Methods: It was an animal experimental research study. Group A served as negative control whereas Group B served as positive control. CSE was given orally to three groups of rats (C, D, and E). One hour prior to administration of CSE; potassium oxonate was injected intraperitoneally in all groups except negative control to induce hyperuricemia. Similarly, group F was given allopurinol one hour after injection of potassium oxonate. Blood samples were collected for uric acid estimation. Results: It was found that administration of both CSE (group C, D, E) and allopurinol (group F) significantly lowered serum uric acid levels (p<0.001) as compared to positive control (group B). Serum uric acid lowering effect of both drugs CSE and allopurinol was found to be statistically significant on day 3rd and day 7th and was almost comparable. Conclusions: Celery seed extract significantly reduces serum uric acid levels in potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic rats and its uric acid lowering effect was comparable with that of allopurinol.

Effects of GSE and vitamins C and E on aspirin- and ethanol-induced gastric ulcer and associated increases of lipid peroxidation in rats were compared. Two experiments were conducted. Rats were randomized into eight groups: a negative control and seven groups that received aspirin or ethanol for ulcer induction: one positive control (vehicle) and six with VC, VE, or GSE (25 and 250 mg/kg). Ulcer indexes and gastric levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were quantified. VC, VE, and GSE (25 and 250 mg/kg) decreased aspirin, and ethanol-induced ulcers and MDA values compared with positive control group. The magnitude of aspirin ulcer reduction was comparable for all treatments, and MDA decrease with GSE was higher than with VC and tended to be greater, albeit none significantly, than with VE. GSE was more effective than VC and VE for lowering the ethanol ulcers, while the decrease of MDA levels with GSE was greater than with VC, but comparable to that achieved with VE. GSE protected against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers more effectively than VC or VE, while its protection against aspirin ulcers was comparable for all treatments. GSE produced the greatest reductions of gastric MDA in both models.

This study investigated the hepatoprotective effect of methanol seed extract of Citrus tangerina on liver damage induced by paracetamol in laboratory rats. Wistar rats were used in this study and categorized into five groups. Groups 1 and 2 received 10 ml/kg normal saline orally, groups 3 and 4 were administered 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg respectively of Citrus tangerina seed extract orally, while silymarin 100 mg/kg served as standard drug treatment for group 5. Following six (6) days of pretreatment with the extract, hepatotoxicity was induced with paracetamol 3 g/kg (orally) in all the groups except the positive control group. At the end of the experiment (24 hours after induction), blood samples were collected under diethyl ether anaesthesia for biochemical markers of liver enzymes and antioxidative stress and the liver was harvested for histopathological studies. Both doses (200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg) of Citrus tangerina seed extract significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the liver enzymes level, but significantly (p < 0.05) increased antioxidant enzymes when compared with the negative control group. Liver histology showed that the Citrus tangerina seed extract prevented hepatic injury induced by paracetamol. The methanol seed extract of Citrus tangerina possesses antioxidative and hepatoprotective effects.

Abstract   Airway remodelling refers to the structural changes that occur in the airway wall in asthma.  These is  irreversible changes to the airway, with damage of bronchiolus epithelium because the  airway epithelium undergoes apoptosis  as one of its manifestations. Empirically black seed has been known as bronchial asthma therapy for many years ago. The purpose of the research is to test the effect of black seed (Nigella sativa L.) extract to apoptosis of bronchiolus epithelium and apoptosis of T lymphocytes the airway bronchial asthma on asthma mouse model. Female mice were used in the expeimental laboratory research and allergic mouse model was got by given ovalbumin twice within 3 weeks intraperitoneally and 3 times per week within 6 weeks by inhalation. Black seed extract is given in 3 different dose (0,024 cc/day, 0,048 cc/day and 0,096 cc/day) for 9 weeks. Sample was chosen randomly to share it within 5 group containing 6 mice in every group ; negative control group (without any treatment, n=6), positive control group (sensitizied with ovalbumin, n=6), JH1 group (sensitizied with ovalbumin and treating with first dose of black seed extract, n=6), JH2 group (sensitizied with ovalbumin and treating with second dose of black seed extract, n=6), JH3 group (sensitizied with ovalbumin and treating with third dose of black seed extract, n=6). The parametric that is used in this research is the change in the color of the nucleus of bronchiolus epithelium and T lymphocytes the airway bronchial asthma shown the occurrence of browning apoptosis. The result shown a significant increase of apoptosis of bronchiolus epithelium on  positive control group to compare with negative control group. The apoptosis of bronchiolus  epithelium on JH1 shown an increase compare with positive control group. For JH2 and JH3 groups shown a decrease the apoptosis of bronchial epithelium compare with positive control group. And the research indicate that the unsignificant aptosis decrease were happen on  a group with positive control instead of the group with negative control. Meanwhile, on JH1 group, apoptosis decrease were happening more significantly than the positive control group does, the aptosis increases were happen on JH2 and JH3 group, but its not capable to exceeding the positive control group apoptosis amount The conclusions is the black seed (Nigella sativa L.) extract can decrease apoptosis of bronchiolus epthelium on asthma mouse model in the third dose as the best result and the doses of black seed extract that were giving to the experiment mice can not increasing the apoptosis T Lymphocyte, thus requiring further research to figure out the perfect doses to increasing against respiratory tract apoptosis T Lymphocyte.   Keyword: asthma, black seed, the apoptosis of bronchiolus epithelium, apoptosis limfosit T.
