IN VIVO TOXICOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF ORGANOPHOSPHATE PESTICIDE ON FEMALE ALBINO MICE: THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF CURCUMIN
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) an Organophosphate insecticide was evaluated for its potential to produce reproductive toxicity in rats following oral exposure. In the present study mice were given CPF at the dose level of 10 mg/kg body weight by Gavage method for 14 and 21 days. Morphological alterations of ovary were examined under LM. Its oxidative stress levels were also evaluated by Lipid peroxidation lev...

OPTIMIZATION OF ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AMMI VISNAGA USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY
In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) conditions for obtaining the maximum yield and content of phenolic compounds of Ammi visnaga extracts (EAV). Three independent variables including ethanol concentration (%), extraction time (time) and solvent-to-material ration (mL/g) were studied. The results showed that the optimal UAE con...
