FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING ACTIVITY OF EVOLVULUS ALSINOIDES ON GLUTAMATE INDUCED NEURODEGENERATION
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The whole plant extract of evolvulus alsinoides was evaluated for its antioxidant activity in glutamate induced neurodegeneration. The extract was given orally in to two different doses (200mg/kg and 400 mg/kg) for 7 days .Simultaneously rats were treated with monosodium glutamate (5mg/kg; i.p) and for comparison purpose NMDA antagonist memantine (5mg/kg) was used as a standard drug. Parameters under study were TBAR, SOD, Nitrates and protein. The orally administrated extracts and memantine (5mg/kg; i.p) significantly decrease nitrates, TBAR levels and significantly increase the SOD levels in glutamate treated groups. But the extract and memantine did not alter protein level in glutamate treated rats.
