| Abstract:
|
The present investigation was designed to evaluate the ability of the 70% hydro-alcoholic extract of Cyanotis
fasciculata Var., fasciculata to combat nephrotoxicity in rats. Nephrotoxicity was induced in rats by administration of
gentamicin 100mg/kg/day (i.p.) for eight days. The protective ability of the test extract was verified at 200 and 400mg/kg
b.w. doses (p.o.). Where, the same demonstrated dose dependent decrement of elevated biochemical markers of
nephrotoxicity along with significant restoration of protective-GSH levels and suppression of lipid peroxidase levels in
tissues. Further, the remarkable renal-cellular rejuvenation found in histopathological studies was also enunciated the organ
protective activity of the test extract. Some of the polyphenolic compounds found during HPTLC analysis of the test extrct
might have contributed to the protection offered.
