THE ANTI-OXIDATIVE AND COGNITIVE PROPERTIES OF ZINGIBER OFFICINALE RHIZOME ETHANOL EXTRACT AND ITS DICHLOROMETHANE AND N-HEXANE FRACTIONS AGAINST ALUMINIUM CHLORIDE-INDUCED NEUROTOXICITY IN SWISS MICE
Aluminium neurotoxicity is implicated in Alzheimer's disease, this multifactorial disorder, with neurodegeneration and dementia as hallmarks. Aluminium toxicity is due to imbalances between free radicals and antioxidants formation, leading to oxidative stress. However, protection against aluminium toxicity is yet to be fully realized. Therefore, this study investigated Zingiber officinale (ZO) neu...

CELECOXIB, A SELECTIVE CYCLOOXYGENASE-2 INHIBITOR, IS ANTICONVULSIVE IN MES INDUCED SEIZURES BUT PROCONVULSIVE IN PTZ INDUCED SEIZURES IN MICE: A POSSIBLE ROLE OF EXCITATORY AMINO ACID IN THIS DIFFERENTIAL EFFECT
Epilepsy is an achronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. There is a positive feedback cycle between epileptogenesis and brain inflammation. It has been proved that COX 2 is expressed constitutively in certain parts of the CNS and is further induced as a result of seizurogenic activity. Of the various experimental models of epilepsy, one is the maximal electroshock (MES) m...

MEDICINAL VALUE OF MILLETS FOR HEALTHY LIFE
Millets are one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purposes. The Indian flatbread roti is made from ground millet seeds. In malice of all these extraordinary rates and capacities of millet husbandry systems, the area under millet products has been shrinking over the last five decades and swiftly after the green revolution period. The bit...

OPSONIZATION AS A LONG CIRCULATORY APPROACH: A CHALLENGE IN DRUG DELIVERY
Opsonisation is the process of coating infections with antibodies to make them more receptive to phagocyte ingestion. Opsonization is a crucial step in host defence that prepares particles or complexes for easy ingestion by phagocytic cells. It has been acknowledged that activated macrophages could proactively capture opsonized nanoparticles in the bloodstream and then accumulate in the reticulo...

TAU-PET IMAGING OF BRAIN DAMAGE IN HEAD INJURY
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been broadly used in the study of brain damage for a long time. However, PET has been mostly used for the assessment and detection of neural activity after brain damage. Tau proteins play a significant role in a variety of degenerative neurological conditions. Post-mortem neuropathology studies of victims of repeated and severe head trauma have define...
