## Abstract The usefulness of doxorubicin (DXR) is limited by its cardiotoxicity. In order to improve future DXR therapy by using a new antioxidant agent, an experimental study was designed. This study was undertaken to determine whether DXR‐induced cardiotoxicity is prevented by erdosteine, a muco
The present study examined the effect of N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (PBN) on 3,4-methylenedioxmathamphetamine (MDMA)-induced depletion of serotonin in the CNS. Rats were treated with two concurrent injections of MDMA (20 mg/kg, s.c.), PBN (50-400 mg/kg dissolved in ethanol, 50 mg/ml of 25% eth
## Abstract Oral administration of a‐lipoic acid, a metavitamin, was investigated for its possible hepatoprotective effect in Wistar rats against chloroquine‐induced toxicity. Rats were treated orally with __α__‐lipoic acid (10, 30 and 100 mg kg^−1^ day^−1^) for 7 days before a single oral administ
## Abstract Acrylonitrile is a potent hepatotoxic, mutagen, and carcinogen. A role for free radical‐mediated lipid peroxidation in the toxicity of acrylonitrile has been suggested. The present study was designed to assess the hepatoprotective effect of quercetin against acrylonitrile‐induced hepato
Daucus carota commonly known as carrot, is widely used in European folk medicine for the treatment of jaundice and hepatic disorders. Oral administration of carrot extract (25 mL/kg/day) for 30 days produced significant hepatoprotection against lindane (20 mg/kg/day) induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
