Background: Drug-induced organ toxicity is a significant health concern, with gentamicin known for its effective antibacterial properties but also severe side effects, particularly cytotoxicity in liver and kidney tissues. This current study observed the preventive role of baicalein and bergenin against hepatic and renal injuries caused by gentamicin in rats.
Methods: Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups, namely, control, gentamicin (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day), baicalein (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day + baicalein 100 mg/kg/day) and bergenin (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day + bergenin 100 mg/kg/day).

Background: Drug-induced hepatotoxicity, particularly from ethanol and acetaminophen (APAP), is a pressing global health challenge. This damage arises from oxidative stress and inflammation, manifesting as elevated liver enzymes and structural liver alterations. Resveratrol and silymarin, recognized for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, offer potential hepatoprotective benefits.

Background: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), as a new type of targeted drug, have been widely used in breast cancer patients in recent years. However, while achieving better efficacy, its hepatotoxicity should not be ignored.
Objectives: To clarify the incidence of hepatotoxicity associated with ADCs and compare the incidence of hepatotoxicity of ADCs with different drugs.

Objectives: Hepatotoxicity is a severe outcome of methotrexate (MTX) therapy, limiting its clinical use and contributing to its related morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the hepatoprotective effects of nitazoxanide (NTZ), an antiprotozoal drug, against MTX-induced hepatotoxicity and whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-modulation underlies the expected beneficial effects of NTZ.
Methods: Thirty-six rats were allocated to six groups, one control group and five MTX groups, where induction of hepatotoxicity was achieved via injecting MTX (20 mg/kg).

is well-established as one of the most poisonous mushrooms; toxicity from ingestion was reported as early as the first century. Although native to Europe, this ectomycorrhizal fungus has been widely spread and is responsible for liver toxicity in many parts of the world. Toxicity is characterized by delayed gastrointestinal symptoms mimicking acute gastroenteritis followed by severe hepatotoxicity and liver failure with consequent multi-organ failure.
