| Popis: | Objectives- This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of Ethanolic extract of Triticum aestivum (TAE) on different anxiety like behaviour induced by Chronic unpredictable stress in wistar albino rats. Materials and methods- Effect of TAE was studied on chronic unpredictable stress induced rats. The reference standard drug (Diazepam 1mg/kg po) and the test drug, TAE at doses of 150mg/kg and 200mg/kg b.w. were given to rats for 14 days. Anti-anxiety activity was assessed by using Light and Dark Box test. Then the locomotor activity of rats was assessed as indicator of anxiety. Animals were sacrificed at the end of this experiment..The adrenal and spleen weight, ulcer index as well as various biochemical parameters like Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) were assessed. Results- The stay in Light box was increased, rearing activity was increased to a significant level in both Diazepam and TAE-200 mg/kg treated rats and this effect was comparable to that of normal non-stressed vehicle treated rats. Chronic stress caused elevation of MDA and depression of SOD level which is reversed by Ethanolic extract of Triticum aestivum (TAE). |
