Popis: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the protective effect of Resveratrol, which has a strong antioxidant effect on kidney tissues of rats experimentally induced with carbon tetrachloride with nephrotoxicity, by kidney function tests and histopathology. For this purpose, 32 male Wistar Albino rats were used. The subjects were randomly selected, 1stgroup control, 2ndgroup CCl4, 3rdgroup Resveratrol. The 4thgroup was divided into 4 groups as CCl4 + Resveratrol. At the end of the experiment, animals were sacrificed under anesthesia and kidney samples were taken in 10% formalin solution for histopathological analysis. In the histopathological examination, it was found that the rats in the control and Resveratrol groups had normal kidney histological structure. In CCI4group, severe hydropic degeneration in tubules epithelium, mild coagulation necrosis in tubules epithelium and severe hyperemia in the vessels were observed. When kidney tissues of rats were examined in CCI4+ Resveratrol group, mild hydropic degeneration in tubules epithelium and mild hyperemia in vessels were observed. When the kidney tissues of the rats in the Resveratrol group were examined, it was observed that they had a normal histological appearance. As a result, it was determined that Resveratrol has a protective effect on kidney damage caused by CCI4.
