Popis: The aim of this study was focused on investigating the possible protective effect of NS against GS-induced nephrotoxicity. Twenty four Wistar-albino rats were divided into four equal groups as follows: control group, GS group (100mg/kg intraperitoneal - i.p.), NSL+GS group (0.2 ml/kg+100mg/kg i.p.) and NSH+GS group (0.4 ml/kg+100mg/kg i.p.). Plasma creatinine and urea levels significantly increased as a result of nephrotoxicity in the GS group. Also, creatinine and urea levels significantly decreased in NSL+GS and NSH+GS groups. In the GS group, plasma MDA and NO levels increased significantly (p
