Flutamide-induced Lipid Peroxidation: Protective Role of Water extract of Spirulina platensis
نویسنده
چکیده
The present study deals with exploration of lipid peroxidation induction capacity of flutamide, an anticancer drug, and in vitro evaluation of water extract of Spirulina platensis as a suppressor of flutamide-induced lipid peroxidation. Goat liver homogenate has been used as the lipid source. This evaluation was done by measuring the malondialdehyde and reduced glutathione content of the tissue as markers of lipid peroxidation. The study revealed that water extract of the Spirulina platensis could suppress the flutamide-induced lipid peroxidation to a significant extent.

Considering drug-induced lipid peroxidation as a possible mediator of drug-induced toxicity and exploiting the free radical scavenging action of antioxidants, the present study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of ascorbic acid (AA) and water extract of Spirulina plantesis (SP) to minimize 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced lipid peroxidation. The study has been performed in vitro usin...
متن کاملProtective Role of Spirulina platensis against Acute Deltamethrin-Induced Toxicity in Rats
Deltamethrin is a broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroid insecticide and acaricide widely used for agricultural and veterinary purposes. However, its human and animal exposure leads to hepatonephrotoxicity. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to examine the hepatonephroprotective and antioxidant potential of Spirulina platensis against deltamethrin toxicity in male Wistar albino rats. Delt...
