| Abstract | AIM OF THE STUDY: Thladiantha dubia (Cucurbitaceae) has been used in Chinese manchu nationality folk medicine for treatment of various diseases, such as scrofula, carbuncle, lactation deficiency, etc. Its effects include softening hard masses, heat-clearing and detoxifying, reducing swelling, eliminating carbuncle, and promoting lactation. It has a history of use in the treatment of breast disorders and as an agent to increase lactation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-hyperplasia of mammary (HMG) effect of T. dubia root ethanol extract (TD-E) in estrogen combined with progestogen induced HMG rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty virgin female Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control, HMG model, Rupixiao Tablet (RPXT, positive control), and TD-E groups, 10 in each. Injection of estrogen and progestogen were given to establish rat models of HMG, RPXT and TD-E were given at the same time. Changes of nipple heights were measured; uterus and ovary index were calculated; sex hormone levels (LH, E(2), and P) in serum were estimated. Pathologic changes of MG in rats were also observed under light microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: TD-E could decrease the increased nipple height, reduce the numbers of MG lobules and relieve the pathologic changes of HMG in rats. It could also decrease E(2) and LH levels in serum compared with the control group, nipple height, uterus index, and the levels of E(2) and LH in the HMG model group increased significantly, the level of P decreased significantly. Compared with the HMG model group, nipple height, uterus index, and the levels of E(2) and LH in the TD-E group decreased, and no obvious effect on P content. The histopathological analysis suggested that TD-E obviously alleviated the degree of HMG. Those results suggest TD-E has protective and therapeutic effects on HMG rats induced by estrogen and progestogen. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
