ABSTRACT:
In the present study antistress activity was assessed against anoxia tolerance, swimming endurance and cold restraint stress models. In anoxia tolerance test, the mean time of appearing first convulsion in mice was taken as end point to determine the time of anoxia. In swimming endurance test the mean time of swimming performance was recorded.The end point taken was when the animals remained at the bottom of swimming tank for 10 sec. Biochemical estimation like glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and BUN and weight of organs were measured in cold restraint stress model.
