Implication

Biochemical evaluation shows NAS treatment reduces nephrotoxicity and aids renal function in cisplatin-exposed rats, suggesting therapeutic potential.

Key Points

  • To assess the protective effects of N-acetylserotonin against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in a rat model.
  • Conducted a biochemical and histopathological study using 35 Wistar Albino rats divided into five treatment groups.
  • Administered N-acetylserotonin and cisplatin to evaluate their effects on renal function and oxidative stress markers.
  • Measured serum urea, creatinine, and various oxidative stress markers in kidney tissue.
  • Performed histopathological evaluations to assess renal damage.
  • Cisplatin significantly increased serum creatinine levels, indicating renal injury.
  • NAS treatment reduced histopathological damage, including tubular and glomerular degeneration.
  • Treatment with NAS showed a trend toward biochemical recovery in oxidative stress markers, though not statistically significant.
