Abstract | ||||
This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of the ethanolic extract obtained from the seeds of phalaris canariensis, against nephro-toxicity induced by methotrexate (MTX). Toxicity was induced by a single dose of MTX (20 mg/kg) and ethanolic extract administered in three different doses (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) daily for 15 days. Urea and creatinine were measured in serum. In addition, malondialdehyde (MDA) and total nitrites, were measured in kidney tissues. At the same time, expression of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and expression of BCL2 in kidney were measured. The ethanolic extract showed dose-dependent reduction in urea, creatinine, renal MDA, renal total nitrites and expression of KIM-1, which were increased with MTX administration, however, the extract dose-dependently, increased BCL2 expression that was reduced with MTX administration. in conclusion, this study suggests that the seed extracts from P. canariensis exhibit protective potentials against MTX-induced nephro-toxicity and can be considered a potential therapeutic agent in prevention of MTX-induced toxicity. | ||||
