Abstract Title:
Ameliorative effects of N-acetyl cysteine on diclofenac-induced renal injury in male rats based on serum biochemical parameters, oxidative biomarkers, and histopathological study.
Abstract:
Diclofenac (DIC) can cause nephrotoxicity in humans. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on DIC-induced nephrotoxicity. Rats were assigned to four groups. Group 1 was control group; group 2 administrated with DIC only; group 3 administrated with DIC plus NAC and group 4 was treated with DIC and silymarin. Then, the oxidative biomarkers in serum and kidney were evaluated. In group 2, DIC caused a remarkable elevation (p
