One of the major complications in cancer chemotherapy is the development of resistance, and cisplatin, as one of the important medicines in treatment regimens of different cancers is not excluded. One of the most described cellular defense mechanisms involved in resistance is glutathione (GSH) and in this study, the effects of cisplatin on the total intracellular GSH level (GSHi) in some sensit...

Introduction: Cisplatin is used as a chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of human ovarian and testicular cancers. This study was designed to investigate the protective role of taurine against cisplatin-induced kidney injury. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (n=8) (1) saline-treated group (2) cisplatin-treated group (10 mg/kg, i.p.), (3) group that received taurine (2...

background. the major side effect of cisplatin, used in some tumours, is nephrotoxicity. reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage are the most important factors in cisplatin-induced acute renal failure. the main purpose of this study is to investigate the protective effects of crocin against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure and oxidative stress in rat. methods. in this study, animals w...

Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutics against a wide range of cancers. However, it causes significant nausea and vomiting which limit its usefulness. In the present study, the effects of methanolic root extract of Pluchea lanceolata (DC.) C. B. Clarke , asteraceae ( MPL ) was investigated against cisplatin-induced nausea using a rat pica model. In rat pica model, rats react to cispla...

  Although cisplatin is one of the most effective cancer drugs which is widely used in the treatment of various neoplasms, its side effects, especially vomiting may limit its use. It has been demonstrated that cytotoxic drugs lead to a sudden release of serotonin (5-HT). The following study was performed to determine the possible interactions of cisplatin with 5-HT receptors. In this study, the...

introduction: the principal dose-limiting factor in the use of cisplatin as an antineoplastic drug is its hepatic toxicity. this study was designed to investigate the protective role of taurine against cisplatin-induced hepatic injury. methods: male albino rats (180-220 g) were divided in to 4 groups (n=8) as follows: (1) saline-treated group (2): cisplatin-treated group (10 mg/kg ip) (3): grou...

Background and objectives: A key aspect of cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity is oxidative stress. The current study was conducted to show, for the first time, the restoring and synergistic effects of morin and hesperidin against oxidative stress in hepatotoxicity. Methods: Fourty-two Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into seven groups: group A (control), ...
