Amelioration of Mercuric Chloride Induced Nephrotoxicity and Oxidative Stress by Garlic Extract
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effect of Garlic against mercuric chloride induced toxicity in albino rats was studied. Oral administration of mercuric chloride (100mg/kg/p.o) for 30 days resulted in significant increase in LPO Basal level and LPO FeSO(4) induced and significant decrease in GSH (Glutathione) and Vit C as compared to the normal and control group. Simultaneous administration of Garlic along with Mercuric chloride, produced a pronounced neproprotective effect against mercuric chloride induced toxicity in rats by restoring the normal levels of biochemical parameters.

Prevention of methotrexate-induced nephrotoxicity by concomitant administration of garlic aqueous extract in rat.
BACKGROUND/AIM Methotrexate (MTX) has been widely used for treatment of cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, but its use has been limited by its nephrotoxicity. This study was carried out to determine whether garlic exerts a protective effect against MTX-induced nephrotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nephrotoxicity was induced in rats after a single i.p. injection of MTX (20 mg/kg). Garlic extract...
