Water-soluble phenolics from fruits as potential reno-protective agent against cisplatin-induced toxicity: pre- and post-treatment strategies.

Nephrotoxicity is the major side effect of cisplatin, an effective platinum-based chemotherapeutic drug that is applicable in the treatment of several solid-tissue cancers. Studies have indicated that certain water-soluble phenolics offer renal protection. Thus, this study investigates the role of pre and post-treatment of rats with water-soluble phenolics from (PdP) against nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin.

Xylopia aethiopica suppresses markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death in the brain of Wistar rats exposed to glyphosate.

The herbicide "Roundup" is used extensively in agriculture to control weeds. However, by translocation, it can be deposited in plants, their proceeds, and the soil, thus provoking organ toxicities in exposed individuals. Neurotoxicity among others is one of the side effects of roundup which has led to an increasing global concern about the contamination of food by herbicides.

Attenuates Acetaminophen-Induced Hepatic Damage via NF-B Signaling Mechanism in Experimental Rat Model.

has been used to treat ulcer, diabetes, fever, and a variety of stress-related disorders. Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is the most common cause of drug-induced acute liver injury. In this study, we evaluated the hepatoprotective effect and antioxidant capacity of ethanolic extract of (EFE) on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats.

from Red Mushroom Attenuates Formaldehyde-Induced Liver Damage in Experimental Male Rat Model.

The majority of liver-related illnesses are caused by occupational and domestic exposure to toxic chemicals like formaldehyde (FA), which is widely common in Africa and the world at large. Hence, measures should be taken to protect humans from its hazardous effects. This study, therefore, examines the protective potential of (100 mg/kg body weight) on formaldehyde-induced (40%) liver oxido-inflammation in male rats.
