Summary, etc. |
<p><span>The objective of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of ethanolic extract of </span><em>Psidium guajava</em><span> L. leaves against doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Animals treated with doxorubicin (8mg/kg, i.p) once daily for 2 days significantly (P<0.05) increased Serum Urea, BUN, creatinine, total protein, LPO and significantly (</span><em>P</em><span><0.05) decreased CAT, SOD, GSH levels as compared to vehicle treated rats. Treatment with </span><em>P. guajava</em><span> (100 & 300 mg/kg, p.o) showed significant (</span><em>P</em><span><0.05) decrease in Serum Urea, BUN, creatinine, total protein, LPO and significant (</span><em>P</em><span><0.05) increase in CAT, SOD, GSH levels as compared to doxorubicin treated group. Histopathological examinations of kidney tissue showed that doxorubicin changed the renal architecture significantly which was less evident in </span><em>P. guajava</em><span> (100 mg/kg & 300 mg/kg) pre-treated rats. Results suggest that </span><em>P. guajava</em><span> extract has the potential to ameliorate doxorubicin induced nephrotoxicity and might serve as a novel combination agent with doxorubicin to limit renal damage.</span></p> |
