The hexane extract of Coleus forskohlii (CFHE) was evaluated for its effect on liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride, paracetamol or thioacetamide. The CFHE was given in two different doses (27.5mg/kg p.o. and 55mg/kg p.o.). Silymarin, a known hepatoprotective agent was used as standard. The lower dose of CFHE (27.5mg/kg p.o.) significantly reduced the elevated levels of serum marker enzymes and prevented the increase in liver weight in all three models of liver injury, while the higher dose showed mild hepatoprotective activity. The hepatoprotective effect of lower dose of CFHE was supported by changes in histopathology. It was concluded that hexane extract of CFHE in lower doses possess hepatoprotective activity.Keywords

Purpose: The incidence of obesity around the world continues to increase and is considered a major cause of morbidity and mortality through various diseases. Various animal models can be used for the study of various compounds for the discovery of a novel treatment for the obesity. It can range from food intake studies in lean rodents to studies in obese animals due to high fat diet. The use of these animals helps us to determine whether the weight loss is due to fat loss or due to changes in other parameters. Various behavioral models can be used to study the food intake pattern and the effect of the drug on that pattern. These animal models have very good predictive validity as the effect of the drug on the animal models form the basis for the effect of the drug in humans. The drug induced weight loss in humans can be predicted to an extent from the studies carried out on these animal models.
Approach: The published articles from Pubmed and other standard resources are used to study, review and compile the overview on screening methods used in Anti-obesity activity.
Findings: The animal models of obesity can be used to study about the effects of parameters like insulin level, resistance and leptin levels in obesity. Acute and chronic feeding studies can be carried out. While studying about anti-obesity drugs the factors that lead to weight gain has to be considered.
Conclusion: The obesity can be genetic or may be due to some other reason. The common cause for obesity is food intake with high calories and fat. So diet induced obese animal models are an important part of the studies. The animal models for the drug induced weight gain helps in the study of the effect of antiobesity drugs on the drug induced weight gain. All these models have been found to have utility in predicting the weight loss in obesity in man.

Purpose: Anxiety disorders have turned out to be the most common mental health conditions prevailing all over the world. The symptoms of anxiety are very common in the community, not only affecting the younger generations but also the elderly. There have been a number of advances in the pharmacotherapy of anxiety disorders in recent decades. Normal anxiety is a kind of emotion that mainly helps to face the threats and problems awaiting an individual. But when this emotion exceeds a certain limit, it causes harm to the same individual. Thus, this paper gives an overall review on what exactly anxiety is, how is it caused and the different treatment methods used so far for anxiety. Apart from this the future aspects has also been covered in this paper.
Approaches: The data were collected from various sources like journal articles, textbooks, internet, related materials in library and databases such as pubmed, google scholar and so on.
Findings: New developments are forthcoming in the field of alternative strategies for managing anxiety and for treatment-resistant cases.
Conclusion: As a word, anxiety may seem very small to read but when it comes to a person's life it can be life threatening. There are varieties of conventional treatment methods available for anxiety and many promising therapies are yet to come.

Purpose:To study the potential effect of Asparagus racemosus extract on experimental anemic and thrombocytopenic condition in rats.Approach: The anti-anemic and anti-thrombocytopenic activities of chloroform:methanol (2:1) extract of Asparagus racemosus was studied using phenylhydrazine and heparin-induced models, respectively. Three doses of Asparagus racemosus viz., 250, 500 and 750 mg/kg (p.o, daily for 10 days) were tested in rats, and observations such as levels of RBC count, haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), WBC, bleeding time and clotting time were recorded. Ferrous sulphate and prednisolone were used as standard agents for anti-anemic and anti-thrombocytopenic activities, respectively.
Finding: The anti-anemic study indicated that Asparagus racemosusextract at 750 mg/kg (p<0.01) increase significantly the number of RBC, Hb and significantly decrease (p<0.01) MCH and WBC when compared with anaemic group. In anti-thrombocytopenic study, extract at 750 mg/kg decreased significantly (p<0.01) bleeding time and clotting time compared to heparin group. Our observations indicated that ischolar_main extract of Asparagus racemosuspossess exhibited anti-anemic and antithrombocytopenic properties and these could be related to the phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, saponins, phytosterols, triterpenoids, polyphenols, carbohydrate, flavonoids, glycosides, phenolic compounds and tannins present in the extract.
Originality: The present study is the first time evaluation of the anti-anemic and anti-thrombocytopenic effect of Asparagus racemosus.
Conclusion: from our study Asparagus racemosus possess exhibited anti-anemic and anti-thrombocytopenic properties.

The aim of the present study is to study the preventive nature of Kigelia pinnata methanolic extract (MEKP)during DiEthyl Nitros Amine (DENA) induced hepatocellular carcinoma in rats. Phytochemical screening for the methanolic extract of Kigelia pinnata was carried out. The methanolic extract of the fruits was tested for antioxidant property by in vitro DPPH radical scavenging assay and reducing power assay and also anticancer activity of methanolic extract of Kigelia pinnata was evaluated in DENA induced Sprague Dawley rats at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight orally and both doses were administered for 14 weeks. After 24 h of the last dose, the rats were sacrificed and antitumor effect of KMPE extract was assessed by evaluating biochemical parameters such as AFP, AST, ALT, ALP and LDH to evaluate anticancer activity of the extract. MDA and SOD levels in the liver tissue of each group were estimated for determining in vivo antioxidant activity of the plant. Histopathological studies were carried out. MEKP showed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, reducing sugars and phenolic compounds. MEKP showed concentration dependent free radical scavenging activity and increase in reducing power activity. Comparative analysis on the KPME treatment groups revealed that high dose (500mg/kg body weight showed significant reduction in the serum level of enzymes. Also, there was dose dependent effect of MEKP in the MDA and SOD level in the liver tissue. Histopathological studies showed the decrease in the damages to the liver tissue in the MEKP treatment groups. Hence the methanolic extract of Kigelia pinnata possesses anti-hepatocellular activity which may be due to its hepatoprotective action. This may be due to the presence of flavonoids. Further studies can be carried out to elucidate the exact mechanism of its activity as an antioxidant and anticancer agent.
