abstract

background: gallic acid (ga) is an endogenous plant phenol known to have antioxidant, free radical scavenging ability, anti‑inflammatory, anti‑cancer, and anti‑fungal properties. the aim of this study was to assess the protective effect of ga on cyclophosphamide (cpa)‑induced hepatotoxicity in male wistar rats. methods: sixty rats were grouped into six groups of 10 rats per group. group 1 received distilled water. group 2 received cpa at 200 mg/kg single dose intraperitoneally on day 1. groups 3 and 4 received a single dose of cpa (200 mg/kg) intraperitoneally on day 1 and then were treated with ga at 60 and 120 mg/kg body weight for 14 days, respectively. rats in groups 5 and 6 only received ga at 60 and 120 mg/kg body weight for 14 days, respectively. ga was administered orally. results: cpa induced hepatic damage as indicated by significant elevation (p < 0.05) in aspartate aminotransferase, organ weight, and evidence by the histological study. cpa also induced hepatic oxidative stress as indicated by significant elevation (p < 0.05) in malondialdehyde content, hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) generation, nitrite level, and the level of glutathione (gsh) peroxidase crashed in the cpa‑treated group. ga enhanced the antioxidant defense system as indicated by significant elevation (p < 0.05) in gsh level, catalase activity, and gsh‑s‑transferase activity. conclusions: taken together, the result of this present study shows that ga has a protective effect on cpa‑induced hepatotoxicity.

Gallic Acid Ameliorates Bisphenol A-Induced Toxicity in Wistar Rats

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) has received attention in environmental and toxicological research due to its widespread effects in biological systems. While several anti-oxidants have been used in ameliorating BPA-induced toxicities in experimental animals, there is the scarcity of research information on the use of Gallic acid (GA) in protecting against BPA-induced toxicity. This study investig...

Potential Hepatoprotective Effect and Antioxidant Role of Methanol Extract of Oldenlandia Umbellata in Carbon Tetrachloride Induced Hepatotoxicity in Wistar Rats

The present work examines the protective mechanisms of methanol extract of Oldenlandia umbellata (MEOU) in carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rats. Rats were treated with carbon tetrachloride at the dose of 1 ml/kg body weight intraperitonially once in every 72 hrs for 16 days. The hepatoprotective activity of methanol extract of Oldenlandia umbellata was evaluated by measuring levels of serum ma...
