Asad Sultan¹, Sahal Ahmad¹, Sarzamin Khan¹, Rifat Ullah Khan^2,*, Naila Chand¹, Muhammad Tahir³ and Shakoor Ahmad²

...etary supplementation of silymarin (Silybum marianum) and zinc oxide (ZnO) in broilers during the finishing stage exposed to heat stress (HS). Two hundred and seventy broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 6 dietary groups: three dietary groups in thermoneutral temperature (TN) and three dietary groups under high temperature. One group of birds received a basal diet only (control group), second group of birds received a diet supplemented with

An In Vitro Assessment of the Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Potency of Silymarin and Silymarin Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles on Lung and Breast Cancer Cells

...ent of a different type, silymarin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles and investigation of its effectiveness on treatment of lung and breast cancers. In this respect, these nanoparticles and silymarin were elucidated by using MTT assay for cytotoxicity, annexin-V analyses for cell death mechanism and confocal and transmission electron microscopies for morphological and ultrastructural changes. Based upon our findings, it can b...

Antiviral Diversity of Compounds Derived From Silybum marianum

...amount of seven detected silymarin compounds using HPLC showed wide variations among varieties. They ranged from 9.2 to 34.78 mg/g fruits or 450.25 to 1250.25 mg/plant. The silymarin production has the same pattern of fruits yield. The methanolic solutions were extracted from milk thistle varieties then evaluated against HAV, HSV1 and COXB4 viruses. The cytotoxicity of different milk thistle methanolic extracts in Vero cells...

...oil (ETH + WO) and ETH + silymarin positive group (PC) groups significantly decreased, and the lesions of ethanol-induced liver injury were relieved compared with the ethanol (ETH) group. Walnut oil significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the liver of ALD. Walnut oil exerted the anti-inflammatory effects in the liver of ALD by decreasing the liver index, malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, and the...

Regulatory Effects of Garlic Extract (Allium sativum L.) on Hematobiochemical Markers in Rabbits Intoxicated with Paracetamol

...atoprotective medication silymarine (50 mg/kg body weight). When contrasted to toxic control rabbits, the highest dose of garlic aqueous extract i.e. 300 mg/kg b.w excellently decreased the high serum rates of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST). The outcomes of the extract-treated rabbits were comparable to those of the group of rabbits given silymarine. RBC, platelets, h...

Comparative Effectiveness of Silymarin and Choline Chloride (Liver Tonics) in Preventing the Effects of Aflatoxin B1 in Broiler Chicks

...) NC + 600 mg/kg diet of silymarin, (3) NC + 400 mg/kg diet of choline, (4) Positive control (PC) containing 1 mg AFB1/kg diet, (5) PC + 600 mg/kg diet of silymarin and (6) PC + 400 mg/kg diet of choline. The findings show that the AFB1-treated chicks’ growth characteristics dramatically decreased. While total antioxidant capacity (TAC) dropped as a result of AFB1, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspart...
