Popis: In this study, it was aimed to investigate Adropin levels in kidney tissues after Methotrexate (MTX) administration to identify potential changes following administration of agents with antioxidant/anti–inflammatory potential. Twenty four adult rats male albino Wistar rats were used in this study, and randomly divided into four groups. Control: These rats did not receive any treatment during the 14–day (d) experiment. N–acetylcysteine (NAC): These rats were administered 100 mg·kg-1·day-1 NAC intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 14 d. MTX: A single dose of 20 mg·kg-1 MTX was administered i.p. at the beginning of the study. MTX+ NAC: A single dose of 20 mg·kg-1 MTX was administered i.p. at the beginning of the study, and the rats were given 100 mg·kg-1·day-1 NAC i.p. for 14 d. Total antioxidant, and serum Adropin levels were found to be the lowest in the MTX group while the oxidant levels were significantly lower in the MTX group than in the MTX+NAC group (P
