| Popis: | The present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the protective effects of Bombyx mori , quercetin and benazepril on doxorubicin (DXR) induced cardiotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats. B. mori , quercetin and benazepril were administered for 7 days, and a single intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg body weight of DXR on day five. The animals were sacrificed 48 h after DXR administration. DXR produced a significant elevation in the malondialdehyde (MDA) level and significantly inhibited the activity of glutathione (GSH) in the heart and the kidney followed by the activity of catalase (CAT) in the heart tissue with a significant rise in the serum levels of aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine and a reduction in serum GSH levels indicating acute cardiac toxicity. B. mori , quercetin and benazepril pretreatment significantly reduced the MDA concentration and ameliorated the inhibition of cardiac GSH and CAT activity. B. mori , quercetin and benazepril also significantly improved the serum levels of AST, LDH, BUN, creatinine and GSH in DXR-treated rats. Furthermore, histological examination of the heart sections confirmed the myocardial injury with DXR administration, and the near normal pattern with B. mori , quercetin and benazepril pretreatment. The results provide clear evidence that the B. mori , quercetin and benazepril pretreatments offer significant protection against DXR-induced enzymatic changes in serum, cardiac and renal tissue damage. |
