Nephroprotective effect of Costus pictus extract against doxorubicin-induced toxicity on Wistar rat
The present study was conducted to evaluate the nephroprotective effect of a medicinal herb Costus pictus against doxorubicin-induced toxicity. Rats were divided into six groups and treated with doxorubicin and ethanol extract of the C. pictus. Doxorubicin was administered intraperitoneally with a single dose (4 mg/kg) per week for three weeks. The extract (200 or 400 mg/kg) was administered orally for 4 weeks to two doxorubicin groups. Significant changes of the serum kidney markers, albumin, urea, uric acid and creatinine, and glutathione peroxidase, glutathione–S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione and lipid peroxides in the kidney of doxorubicin-treated rat were observed. Histological features were also severely affected. However, biochemical and histological changes in the extract-treated rat were non-significant, showing that the herb is nephroprotective. The effects were comparable to the anti-oxidant vitamin E.
期刊介绍:
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology (Bangladesh J Pharmacol) is an open access, video component, peer-reviewed journal of the Bangladesh Pharmacological Society (BDPS).
A scholarly publication is defined ''open access'' when there are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing it. Anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print or use it in educational purpose within the legal agreements.
Peer review of a manuscript means the evaluation of research work by one or more people with similar competences. It can be open or blind. We do the single-blind peer review.
Our readers want to know the methodology used by the researchers which is very important to get the results. The video clip of one of the methodologies is prepared by the authors and submit it to publish.
