To investigate the protective effect of ?-Tocopherol (?-TP) in monosodium glutamate (MSG) induced liver injury in albino rat model. Experimental/Analytical study Place and Duration: Animal House, Isra University Hyderabad from February to September 2013.Subjects and Methods: Sixty albino rats were divided into three groups; Group 1. Controls received 0.9% isotonic saline, Group 2. received MSG orally (3mg/kg), and Group 3. received the MSG orally (3mg/kg) + ?-TP (0.2 mg/kg). Blood samples were collected for liver biochemical assays. The animals were sacrificed, liver tissue, after fixation in 4% formaldehyde, was embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections of 5? thickness were subjected to haematoxylin and eosin staining and were assessed by light microscopy. The data was analyzed on SPSS 21.0 using appropriate statistical tests. A p-value of ? 0.05 was taken statistically significant.Results: The liver biochemical and histological findings reveal statistically significant differences among the controls, MSG and MSG+ ?-TP groups (p=0.0001). Liver enzymes and histology was deranged significantly in MSG group compared to controls and MSG+?-TP group (p=0.0001). The MSG+?-TP group shows less elevation of liver enzymes and derangement in liver histology when compared to MSG group (p=0.001). The histological findings of congestion, inflammatory cell infiltrate, vacuolar degeneration and necrosis were found prominently in MSG group animal. The monosodium glutamate has deleterious effects on liver. It is important to reconsider the monosodium glutamate as a food flavor additive. ?-tocopherol protects against monosodium glutamate induced liver injury.

In this paper we introduced the concepts of fuzzy generalized super continuous mappings and explore some of its basic properties in fuzzy topological spaces.

To investigate hepatoprotective effect of concentrated prune juice extract (CPJ) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver injury in albino rat model. Animal House, Isra University Hyderabad from May to December 2012. Subjects and Methods: Forty five albino rats were divided into three groups; Group1. Controls received 0.9% isotonic saline, Group 2. Received CCl4 orally (1.9mg/kg) mixed in olive oil, and Group 3. received the CCl4+CPJ. Blood samples were collected for liver biochemical assays. The animals were sacrificed, liver tissue, after fixation in 4% formaldehyde, was embedded in paraffin. Tissue sections of 5? thickness were subjected to haematoxylin and eosin staining and were assessed by light microscopy. The data was analyzed on Statistix 8.1 using one-way analysis of variance and post hoc test. A p-value of ? 0.05 was taken statistically significant. The liver biochemical and histological findings reveal statistically significant differences among the controls, CCl4 and CCl4+CPJ groups (p=0.0001). Liver enzymes and histology was deranged significantly in CCl4 group compared to controls and CCl4+CPJ group (p=0.0001).The CCl4+CPJ group shows less elevation of liver enzymes and derangement in liver histology when compared to CCl4 group (p=0.001). The histological findings of congestion, inflammatory cell infiltrate, vacuolar degeneration and necrosis are found prominent in CCl4 group. The present study concludes that Concentrated Prune Juice extract showed hepatoprotective effect against carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury.
