In vitro. Hence work has been carried out in Acacia catechu seeds to explore the anticancer effects. Acacia catechu seeds were investigated against HepG2 (Human hepatocellular carcinoma) cell lines. Treatment exhibited potent cytotoxic activity in a dose dependent manner with an IC50 of 77. 0 µg/mL. The cytotoxic activity was associated with an increase in ROS(reactive oxygen species) generation and decrease in the activity of Super oxide dismutase and reduced glutathion content.

additional effect of exercise upon uptake into muscle was also investigated. 2. Low doses (1 g of creatine monohydrate or less in water) produced only a modest rise in the plasma creatine concentration‚ whereas 5 g resulted in a mean peak after 1 h of 795 (sd 104) μmol/l in three subjects weighing 76–87 kg. Repeated dosing with 5 g every 2 h sustained the plasma concentration at around 1000 μmol/l. A single 5 g dose corresponds to the creatine content of 1.1 kg of fresh‚ uncooked steak. 3.
