<p class="Abstract">Uricosuric activity of different extracts of <em>Tinospora cordifolia</em> was studied in hyperuricemia induced in albino Wistar rat using potassium oxonate. The uric acid level in serum and urine were measured. Uricosuric activity was also evaluated using phenol red dye excretion model. Phenol red levels were measured in blood. In potassium oxonate induced hyperuricemia, probenecid, aqueous, hydro-alcoholic, dichloromethane extract and galo satwa (starch of <em>T. cordifolia</em>) significantly lowered the serum uric acid levels. All the extracts increased uric acid excretion and decreased the elevated serum uric acid levels induced due to potassium oxonate. Probenecid, aqueous extract and galo satwa significantly increased fractional excretion of uric acid and phenol red levels in blood indicating uricosuria. Polysaccharides in aqueous extract and galo satwa may be responsible for uricosuric action.</p><p class="Abstract"> </p><p class="Abstract"><strong>Video Clips</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/t7ok0iHx8pM">Preparation of extracts</a> 4 min 22 sec</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/jUyQMEa8rBg">Prepared extracts</a> 26 sec </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/cnxmo69V550">Potassium oxonate induced hyperurecimia</a> 1 min 46 sec</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/A4s8bdqVrls">Injection of red phenol into tail vein</a> 52 sec</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/aZf3jyKDMUM">Collection of blood</a> 16 sec</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/TVbBi-B7xPk">Estimation of uric acid</a> 1 min 44 sec</p><p> </p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
