[ 1 ] - Vitamin E protection against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats: a biochemical and histopathologic study
The specificity of gentamicin for vitamin E deficiency-associated oxidative stresses in the renal proximal convoluted tubules is apparently related to its ability to increasingly facilitate generation of radical species in mitochondria. To determine the ways in which vitamin E manage the currently processes, we conducted a prospective study aimed to investigate the tubular preserving effect of ...
