Those two properties are likely to prevent methotrexate-induced nephrotoxicity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pos...
متن کاملCannabidiol Treatment Ameliorates Acetaminophen-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Mice
The possible therapeutic effect of cannabidiol, the major non-psychotropic Cannabis constituent, was investigated against acute hepatotoxicity induced by a single oral dose of acetaminophen (500mg/kg) in mice. Cannabidiol (two intraperitoneal injections, 5mg/kg, each) was given 1 hour and 12 hours following acetaminophen administration. Acetaminophen administration caused significant elevations...
