A diet rich in cocoa attenuates N-nitrosodiethylamine-induced liver injury in rats.
The effects of cocoa feeding against N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN)-induced liver injury were studied in rats. Animals were divided into five groups. Groups 1 and 2 were fed with standard and cocoa-diet, respectively. Groups 3 and 4 were injected with DEN at 2 and 4 weeks, and fed with standard and cocoa-diet, respectively. Group 5 was treated with DEN, received the standard diet for 4 weeks and t...
متن کاملOperculina turpethum attenuates N-nitrosodimethylamine induced toxic liver injury and clastogenicity in rats.
The root extract of Operculina turpethum (OTE) has been used as an anti-inflammatory, purgative, and hepato-protective agent. N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a potent hepatotoxin that induces fibrosis of the liver. In the present study, we examined the therapeutic effects of OTE root extract against NDMA-induced hepatotoxicity and clastogenicity in rats. Hepatic fibrosis was induced in adult m...
متن کاملEthanolic extract of Iris songarica rhizome attenuates methotrexate-induced liver and kidney damages in rats
Objective: The long-term sequelae of methotrexate (MTX) remain the major cause of concern for both patients and therapists. Therefore, new approaches to decrease MTX side effects are needed. The study was carried out to evaluate the effects of Iris songarica Schrenk (IS) rhizome extract against MTX-induced hepatic and renal injuries in rats. Materials and...
متن کاملFatty liver induced in Zucker "fatty" (ff) rats by a semisynthetic diet rich in sucrose.
A new fatty liver model is described in which heredity plays a major role. A marked fatty liver develops when the homozygous mutant Zucker rat (ff or "fatty") is fed a semi-synthetic diet enriched in sucrose. Lean littermates do not develop fatty livers on this experimental diet. Even old ff rats do not develop fatty livers on chow; the experimental diet is required. The fatty liver is describe...
متن کاملExploring the Protective Effects of Abrus precatorius in HepG2 and N-Nitrosodiethylamine-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Swiss Albino Rats
This study was designed to explore the protective effects of Abrus precatorius L. (Leguminosae) (AP) in HepG2 cells and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) induced hepatocellular carcinoma in Swiss albino rats. The effects of aqueous/ethanolic (50%) extract of AP on hepatic markers, haematological and histopathological parameters, and antioxidant enzymes were evaluated in NDEA ...
