Purpose: This research delves into the procedure in the pathogenesis of Cisplatin (CIS)-caused liver and kidney impairment and check the defensive effect of shen-qi-di-huang decoction (SQDH). Methods: It divides adult male Wistar rats into four groups of eight animals each: Regulation; SQDH; CIS and SQDH+CIS group. They performed multiple analysis to dissect the mechanisms constraining the implements of SQDH. Results: The stems display that pretreatment with SQDH protects the rats from CIS-induced experience and kidney trauma, as disclosed by diminished degrees of serum ALT, AST, BUN and creatinine, improved histopathological damage in thriving and courage. SQDH significantly reverses CIS-induced dysregulation of apoptotic proteins in liver and kidney. In supplement, SQDH induces the activations of PI3K/AKT in kidney and p38/MAPK in liver, individually. Conclusion: We confirm that SQDH protects against CIS-induced nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, which is probably correlated with the activation of p38/MAPK in liver and PI3K/AKT in kidney.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
