Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate Chicory leaf extract for its potential activity on CKD model in STZ induced diabetic nephropathy in Wistar albino rats. Diabetic nephropathy was by administering STZ (35 mg/kg) for a period of seven days, which was confirmed by estimating the blood glucose levels (> 250 mg/dl). After the successful model establishment, the rats were allowed a progression period to CKD for 3 weeks and confirmed by estimating the serum creatinine levels. Thereafter, the rats were treated with chicory leaf extract for a period of 6 weeks at the doses 25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg. Changes in renal function related parameters in serum and urine were estimated along with histopathological studies. CKD rats exhibited renal dysfunction, as evidenced by reduced serum creatinine, increased blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen and proteinuria, along with alterations in the antioxidant parameters like SOD, CAT, GSH and MDA, that were reversed by Chicory leaf extract. Chicory leaf extract was also found to markedly improve the histopathological alteration sin the CKD effected kidneys. Chicory leaf extract was found to be beneficial in rats with chronic kidney disease seen by the reversion of the altered parameters to almost normal range.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Traditional Medicine (ADTM) is an international and peer-reviewed journal and publishes a variety of articles including original researches, reviews, short communications, and case-reports. ADTM aims to bridging the gap between Traditional knowledge and medical advances. The journal focuses on publishing valid, relevant, and rigorous experimental research and clinical applications of Traditidnal Medicine as well as medical classics. At the same time, the journal is devoted to communication among basic researcher and medical clinician interested in the advancement of Traditional Medicine. Topics covered by the journal are: Medical Classics & History; Biomedical Research; Pharmacology & Toxicology of Natural Products; Acupuncture & Moxibustion; Sasang Constitutional Medicine; Diagnostics and Instrumental Development; Clinical Research. ADTM is published four times yearly. The publication date of this journal is 30th March, June, September, and December.
