protective effects of crocin against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure and oxidative stress in rats
Authors
abstract
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 were randomly divided into 5 groups (6 each). group one received normal saline (2 ml/day, i.p.). group two received a single dose of cisplatin (5mg/kg, i.p.). groups 3 to 5 received crocin (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, i.p., respectively, for 4 consecutive days one hour before a single dose of cisplatin (5 mg/kg) only at the first day. blood samples were taken out (on the fifth day) for measuring the level of urea and creatinine. the kidneys were removed for histopathological and biochemical examinations. furthermore, 24-hour urinary factors were measured. results. blood urea, creatinine and urinary glucose and protein concentrations in crocin-treated groups were significantly lower than those of cisplatin-treated group in a dose-dependent manner. histopathological studies showed a massive damage in s3 segment of proximal tubules in cisplatin-treated group. no damage was observed in crocin-treated groups. crocin treatment resulted in a significant and dose-dependent reduction in malondialdehyde concentration as compared to the cisplatin-treated group. moreover, crocin produced a significant elevation in total thiol and glutathione peroxidase concentrations, as compared with cisplatin-treated group. conclusion. the results of the present study suggest that crocin has a protective effect against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure and relative oxidative stress.

Background: Nephrotoxicity is an inherent of certain anticancer drugs. Aim: This study aimed to assess the protective effect of onion oil and selenium against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in male rats. Results: Cisplatin (5 mg/kg, i.p.) caused significant increases in serum sodium, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, total sodium and potassium excreted in urine, urine volume and lipid pe...

We investigated the protective effects of pine bark extract (pycnogenol®, PYC) against cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress in rats. Twenty-four male rats were divided into the following four groups: (1) vehicle control, (2) cisplatin (7.5 mg/kg), (3) cisplatin & PYC 10 (10 mg/kg/day), and (4) cisplatin & PYC 20 (20 mg/kg/day). A single intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin in...
full textUrinary maker for oxidative stress in kidneys in cisplatin-induced acute renal failure in rats
Background. Establishment of non-invasive urinary biomarkers for the prediction of acute renal failure (ARF) is important. We evaluated whether urinary oxidative stress markers reflect intrarenal oxidative stress in cisplatin (CDDP)-induced ARF, and whether these markers can be used for the prediction of future ARF. Methods. Urinary malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-20-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)...
