Article Synopsis
- 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is an effective chemotherapy drug but can cause liver damage, necessitating research into protective agents like thymol, a compound found in thyme.
- Administration of thymol alongside 5-FU in rats showed it could reduce liver injury by boosting antioxidant levels and improving apoptotic markers.
- The study demonstrated, for the first time, thymol's ability to protect the liver by potentially modulating key signaling pathways involved in oxidative stress and apoptosis.
