abstract

in the present study, we investigated the effects of the aqueous extract of mucuna pruriens against gentamicin (100 mg kg -1 per day for six days) induced oxidative stress and nephrotoxicity in rats. administration of gentamicin to rats induced a marked renal failure, characterized by a significant increase in urine volume and serum creatinine and urea levels. there was a significant decrease in body weight, urinary creatinine level and creatinine clearance in gentamicin treated rats as compared to control. the animals treated with gentamicin also showed a significantly higher kidney lipid peroxides and lower superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione activities when compared with the control group. m. prureins seed extract at a dose of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg in addition to gentamicin caused a dose dependant decrease in serum urea and serum creatinine levels and an increase in creatinine clearance. m. pruriens also prevented gentamicin induced rise in lipid peroxides and the reduction of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione activities in a dose dependant manner. our data suggest that m. pruriens extract has protective potential against gentamicin induced oxidative stress and nephrotoxicity in rats.

Protective Effects of Descurainia sophia against Gentamicin Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats

Several studies have tried to find an efficient agent to prevent or reverse gentamicin (Gm) induced acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, we assessed the potential renal protective effects of Descurainia sophia (L.) Webb ex Prantl against Gm-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Thirty-five male Wistar rats were categorized in five groups (n = 7 per group). Control group was treated with...

Protective Effects of Cinnamon Bark Hydroalcoholic Extract on Gentamicin-induced Nephrotoxicity in Mature Rats

Background and Methodology: Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with restricted application in man and stock due to its side effects such as Nephrotoxicity and autotoxicity. Cinnamon bark has antioxidant properties. This is the first study on the protective effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of cinnamon on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity.Methods and Materials: Thirty-six mature femal...
