چکیده

objective(s):to evaluate the effect of graptophyllum pictum on lipid peroxidation and tissue antioxidant enzymes in liver and kidney of gentamicin induced nephrotoxic rats. materials and methods: animals were grouped into 6: group 1 received gum acacia, group 2 received g. pictum ethanol extract (300 mg/kg), group 3 received gentamicin, groups 4, 5, 6 received gentamicin along with g. pictum at 300, 150, 75 mg/kg, respectively. nephroprotective activity was evaluated by measuring thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (tbars), biochemical markers  glutathione (gsh), glutathione-s transferase(gst), superoxide dismutase (sod), catalase (cat), serum urea and creatinine levels. results: results obtained showed that gentamicin induced nephrotoxic rats exhibited lower activities of biochemical markers and raised levels of tbars, serum creatinine and urea. remarkably, after treatment with g. pictum extract, anomalous levels of biochemical markers, lipid peroxidation and serum creatinine were returned to normal. conclusion: the results propose that g. pictum has nephroprotective effects, and can be a promising natural source against gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity.

Nephroprotective effect of astaxanthin against trivalent inorganic arsenic-induced renal injury in wistar rats

Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a toxic metalloid found ubiquitously in the environment. In humans, exposure to iAs can result in toxicity and cause toxicological manifestations. Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) has been used in the treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia. The kidney is the critical target organ of trivalent inorganic As (iAs(III)) toxicity. We examine if oral administration of astaxanth...

Lack of Nephroprotective Efficacy of Althaea Officinalis Flower Extract Against Gentamicin Renal Toxicity in Male Rats

BACKGROUND Gentamicin (GM) is used as antibiotic for Gram-negative infections, but its administration is limited due to a side-effect of nephrotoxicity. It was attempted to investigate the effect of Althaea officinalis flower extract (AOFE) against nephrotoxicity induced by GM in male rats. METHODS 30-year-old male Wistar rats were divided into five groups. Group 1 as a negative control group...
