RESTORATION OF PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN KIDNEY TISSUES FROM DIET INDUCED OBESE RATS TREATED WITH RHINACANTHUS NASUTUS (LINN) KURZ LEAF EXTRACT
D. Sajeda*, L. Lakshaman Kumar, K. Peera and K. Thyaga Raju
ABSTRACT Obesity is an important cause of kidney diseases and it has close association with diabetes and hypertension and excess weight. The present study was designed to identify the kidney damage like vacuolisation in obesity induced rats and restoration of normaly after treatment with methanolic leaf extract of Rhinacanthus nasutus (R. nasutus). The methanolic leaf extract of R.nasutus (RNME) was orally administered to rats, 200mg/kg/day, while orilistat was administered of 25 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks before being sacrificed. The fat induced vacuolization, glomeruli atrophy of epithelial cells and dark pyknotic nuclei were restored to almost normal upon the treatment of rats with RNME. Keywords: Obesity, vacuolisation, RNME, glameruli atrophy, pyknotic nuclei, orilistat. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
