Cisplatin (Cis) is an effective cancer therapy commonly employed in many therapeutic regimens. However, treatment regimens that contain either a high dose or cumulative doses of Cis could trigger liver damage. A unique study demonstrated captopril (Cap) protects against Cis-induced toxicity, but only some function enzymes and antioxidant were investigated study. Our aims to elucidate the protective mechanism Cap toxicity. Acute toxicity was induced rats by injecting single (7.5 mg/kg) three...

The Food and Drug Administration recently warned of the fatal cardiovascular risks azithromycin in humans. In addition, a published study documented azithromycin‐induced cardiotoxicity rats. This aimed to justify exact events accompanying administration rats, focusing on electrocardiographic, biochemical, histopathological changes. underlying mechanisms were studied regarding reactive oxygen species production, cytokine release, apoptotic cell‐death. Finally, supposed protective effects both...

Antioxidants are one of the effective treatment lines in managing type 2 diabetes (typ2diab) and its complications. Nanoformulations could help ameliorating oral bioavailability biocompatibility properties. Ellagic acid (Ella) is a natural antioxidant compound commonly present fruits. This study examined effect Ella nanoparticles (Ella NPs) alone combined with metformin, standard antidiabetic drug, on controlling blood glucose typ2diab. Forty-eight adult Sprague-Dawley rats were used this...
