Synergistic Renoprotective Effects of Green Tea Extract and Gemigliptin against Tacrolimus-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Mice

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: Although tacrolimus (TAC) significantly reduces allograft rejection incidence in solid-organ transplantation, its long-term use is associated with an increased risk of TAC-induced nephrotoxicity. In this study, we investigated the renoprotective effects of green tea extract (GTE) with or without...

Protective Effects and Mechanisms of Huangqi Decoction Against Radiation-Induced Bystander Effects

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: The 12C6+ heavy ion beam irradiation can cause bystander effects. The inflammatory cytokines, endocrine hormones and apoptotic proteins may be involved in 12C6+ irradiation-induced bystander effects. This study characterized the protective effects and mechanisms of Huangqi decoction (HQD) agains...

Investigation of the protective effect of boric acid against hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic injury induced by acrylamide in rats

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: To investigate if the administration of boric acid (BA) would exert any protective effect against possible nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity induced by the exposure to acrylamide (ACR) in rats. In our study, we used a total of 28 rats that were divided into four equal groups. Group 1: the contro...

Protective effect of linoleic acid on liver toxicity induced by methotrexate

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: We aimed to investigate the protective effect of linoleic acid on liver toxicity induced by methotrexate. The study was carried out in partnership with the Department of Anatomy and Department of Medical Pharmacology of Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine, using the laboratory facilities of...

Immunohistochemical evidence of melatonin protection on lung tissue during chemotherapy

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: The present study investigated the possible protective effects of melatonin on Bleomycin, Cisplatin and etoposide (BEP) chemotherapy regimens using immunohistochemistry. Forty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups of ten as; group 1 as untreated control; group 2 as BEP group which recei...

Quercetin and resveratrol are associated with the downregulation of TNFalpha/NF-kB/inos axis-mediated acute liver injury in rats induced by paracetamol poisoning

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: Paracetamol (known as acetaminophen, or APAP) poisoning causes acute liver damage that can lead to organ failure and death. We sought to determine that APAP overdose can augment tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)/ nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB)/induced nitic oxide synthase (iNOS) axis-medi...

Protective effect of polysaccharides isolated from the seeds of Cuscuta chinensis Lam. on 5-fluorouracil-induced intestinal mucositis in mice

Acta cir. bras; 37 (2), 2022
Purpose: To evaluate the protective effect of Cuscuta chinensis Lam. polysaccharides (PCCL) on 5-fluorouracil-(5-FU)-induced intestinal mucositis (IM) in mice. Methods: PCCL was orally administered at a dose of 20 mg·kg–1 for 7 days and its protective effect on 5-FU-induced IM (5-FU, 50 mg·kg–1 fo...

The protective effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum supplementation on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in rats

Acta cir. bras; 37 (9), 2022
Purpose: This study investigated the effects of oral administration of Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) on inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut flora in rats with hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIRI). Methods: The rats from C. butyricum group were given C. butyricum for 5 days. Then, hepati...

Alleviation of diabetes-induced hepatotoxicity by date palm hydroalcoholic extract in rat model; a biochemical, immunohistochemical and stereological study

Int. j. morphol; 39 (3), 2021
SUMMARY: The present study was aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of date palm hydroalcoholic extract (DP)in diabetic rats using biochemical and histopathological approaches. Diabetes was induced by administration of 60 mg/kg of streptozotocin intraperitoneally. In this analysis 32 adult r...

Silymarin's defensive role against hepatotoxicity induced by amiodarone in albino rats

Int. j. morphol; 39 (2), 2021
SUMMARY: Amiodarone (AMD), an orally powerful antidysrhythmic medication that has caused hepatotoxicity on long-term administration, is commonly used across the world. Silymarin ameliorative effects (SLM); this research elucidated the magnitude of the damage to the liver tissue in AMD. We divided 24 albi...
