Ameliorative Role of fenugreek Oil Against Lead Acetate Trihydrate-Induced Hepatic, Renal and Testicular Injury in Wistar Albino Rats: Insights into Bcl-2 Expression and sodium/potassium balance.

Concurrent administration of fenugreek seed oil may attenuate PbAc-induced hepatic, renal and testicular histopathological damage in rats, and this protectivity effect was associated with the restoration of sodium/potassium balance, and upregulation of Bcl-2 expression.

Protective Effects of Ethyl Acetate Extract of Persea americana Seed against Acetaminophen-Induced Hepatorenal Toxicity and Antioxidant Activity in Male Wistar Rats

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is associated with oxidative stress and injury to the liver and kidney. This study evaluated the antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and nephroprotective effects of an ethyl acetate extract of Persea americana seed in male Wistar rats. Thirty adult male rats were randomly assigned to six groups...
