My lab (under my leadership) is currently doing research on several projects.
1. CCl₄ induced cirrhotic liver in rats.
2. 2K1C Goldblatt hypertensive rat model.
3. ISO induced cardiac remodeling in rats.
4. High fat diet induced obesity in rats and natural compounds.
we are currently using Red amaranth (Lal shak), Rice bran, Guava leaves as well as ramipril, sitagliptin, etorocoxib as therapeutic intervention for inflammation and oxidative stress on those experimental model.
