“…The Mean±SD AST value of group-1,2,3 and 4 was 72.06 ± 5.623, 169. 26 Analysis of renal function tests (RFT) showed higher values when compared with control. The mean±SD values of blood urea (mg/dl) in group-1,2, 3 and 4 were 20.76 ± 2.965; 39.98 ± 4.977, 66.040 ± 5.038 and 89.88 ± 1.532 respectively.…”

Parkinson's disease has been a challenging neurodegenerative disorder for researchers and clinicians alike for decades. Though L-dopa has changed the management of PD to a considerable extent, effective solutions remain elusive since L-dopa, after a few years, partly loses its efficacy and develops dyskinesias as a complication, incapacitating the patient. Also, existing PD animal models using MPTP, rotenone, paraquet, etc cause significant suffering to the animals and also require a minimum of 22-25 days for induction. Hence, a better PD animal model was conceived considering the synergistic oxidative stress lipids, and rotenone induce on striatal neurons. The experiment compared the existing rotenone induction with combined rotenone and high-fat diet induction, carefully watching for motor and behavioural symptoms of PD in the Wistar rats in addition to measuring the biochemical profiles for toxicity, strictly following the ARRIVE guidelines for animal research. This study found that using HFD+Rot for induction not only shortened the duration of induction to a mean of 14 days but also reduced the suffering by reducing the number of intraperitoneal injections needed without significant derangement of safety biochemical parameters. This study also proves the effectiveness by demonstrating the reduced dopamine, serotonin levels in striatal neurons and increased oxidative stress parameters. To the best of our knowledge, no animal study shows a better PD model with all the neurobehavioural and biochemical features of PD with less time for induction. This new HFD+Rot model can therefore be employed to test therapeutics and neurobehavioural studies.

Bacterial infections are the most common cause of death in developing countries due to improper hygiene and consumption of contaminated food. Although, there are plethora of antibiotics available but the side effects of their use and problem of antibiotic resistance provoke the scientific community to find alternative options. In recent years, the trend of antibacterial research has bended towards the natural compounds, extracts and essential oil due to their promising efficacy and less toxicity. We therefore, in the present study isolated the essential oil from the seed of Z. armatum commonly known as Timur plant which has been used in traditional setting to treat various ailments. The isolated essential oil was screened out for its chemical composition and anti-bacterial activity. The results of GC-MS analysis revealed that linalool (32.53%), limonene (27.15%) and trans-Methyl cinnamate (19.32%) were the predominant active component together with other components. Furthermore, we conducted zone of inhibition and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays to assess the antibacterial properties of essential oil extracted from Timur seeds against four different bacteria strains: E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and B. cereus. The results of our research clearly indicate that Timur seed essential oil exhibits a robust and potent antibacterial effect against all of the tested bacterial strains. Based on our findings, we propose that Timur seed essential oil has the potential to be employed as an effective antibacterial agent. This suggests promising prospects for its utilization in various applications related to combating bacterial infections.
