Article Synopsis
  • A study investigating the hepatoprotective effects of chamomile oil and olive leaf extracts aims to counteract the liver toxicity caused by ribociclib, a drug used for breast cancer treatment.
  • The experiment involved 40 male albino rats divided into four groups: a control group, a ribociclib-only group, a ribociclib plus chamomile oil group, and a ribociclib plus olive leaf extract group.
  • Results showed that both chamomile oil and olive leaf extract significantly reduced liver damage and improved lipid profiles, with chamomile oil also decreasing kidney urea levels, indicating a protective role against the toxic effects of ribociclib.
