Abstract
Abstract Effect of Medicago sativa (MS) hydro-ethanolic extract against the cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced toxicity was evaluated in rats grouped as: Control; CP (100 mg/kg subcutaneous, day 1–3); and CP+ MS100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day, orally for 14 days. Hematologic, lipid, hepatic and oxidative stress markers were analyzed. Platelet, WBC, RBC, Hb and Hct in the CP group were lower than the control. The MS200 and MS400 groups had lower lipids, liver enzymes, nitrite and malondialdehyde levels but higher platelet, WBC, thiol, superoxide dismutase and catalase levels than the CP group. MS ameliorated CP-induced thrombocytopenia, oxidative stress, and increases in serum lipids and hepatic enzymes.
期刊介绍:
Toxin Reviews provides an international forum for publishing state-of-the-art reviews and guest-edited single topic special issues covering the multidisciplinary research in the area of toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms. Our aim is to publish reviews that are of broad interest and importance to the toxinology as well as other life science communities. Toxin Reviews aims to encourage scientists to highlight the contribution of toxins as research tools in deciphering molecular and cellular mechanisms, and as prototypes of therapeutic agents. Reviews should emphasize the role of toxins in enhancing our fundamental understanding of life sciences, protein chemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, clinical toxinology and evolution. Prominence will be given to reviews that propose new ideas or approaches and further the knowledge of toxinology.
