Uncaria tomentosa (cat claw) Counteracts Chronic Fipronil-induced Endocrine Disruption Induced Insulin Resistance and Hepatic Damage in Male Albino Rats

The current study investigated the ability of Uncaria tomentosa (cat claw) to counteract fipronil (FIP) induced metabolic abnormalities.  A total of 20 male adult albino rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (5 rats each). Control rats received only dis. water, Uncaria group was treated by dietary Uncaria 5g/kg, fipronil group rats treated with 3.23 mg/kg of FIP, and fipronil and Uncaria co-treated group was given 3.23 mg/kg FIP with 5g/kg...
