Cisplatin (CDDP)-induced nephrotoxicity is mediated via oxidative stress and may be alleviated using antioxidant activity. Although megadose of vitamin C may cause oxalate nephropathy and apoptosis, the antioxidant effect of vitamin C may be beneficial when given along with CDDP. The objective of this study was to investigate the renoprotective effects of megadose vitamin C on rats receiving CDDP. Rats were divided into 4 groups: group 1, control rats (CONT); group 2, vitamin C-treated rats (VIT C); group 3, CDDP-treated rats (CDDP) and group 4, CDDP + vitamin C-treated rats (CDDP + VIT C). Vitamin C (1000 mg/kg) was given …

Cigarette smoke is free radicals superoxide resources that contains, hydrogen peroxide, hidrosil and peroksil. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzymatic antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress by catalyzing superoxide dismutase (O2 *) into O2 and H2O2 . This study aims to determine the potential of ethanolic extract petai leaves against plasma SOD enzyme activity in animals exposed by cigarette smoke. The simplicia extracted by maseration using ethanol 96%. Thirty-six rats Sprague Dawley strain were divided into six groups: normal group was not given treatment, negative group received 10% CMC-Na, positive control group received vitamin E, and treatment group received …

Background/aim: The aim of this study is to scrutinize the effects of crocin on obesity and type-2 diabetes, with an approach that takes oxidative stress and inflammatory parameters into account. Materials and methods: The experimental obesity model was created by utilizing a 10-week-long high-fat diet (HFD). An experimental type-2 diabetes model was created by injecting multiple low-dose streptozocin (STZ) injections into rats that were fed with the HFD. The treatment groups were administered a daily crocin dose of 150 mg/kg for 6 weeks via gavage. Results: Findings of the study demonstrated that crocin could be effective in relieving the symptoms …
