Dietary zinc protects against methotrexate-induced neurotoxicity in rats via modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation and neuronal energy metabolism
Abstract:Background: Increasing incidence of cancers and cancer chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicities makes it imperative to research compounds with neuroprotective potential that can do not impede therapy. Objective: To examine the effect of dietary zinc supplementation on methotrexate-induced changes in neurobehaviour and neurochemistry and hippocampal morphology in rats. Methods: Adult male rats were assigned into five groups of twelve animals each. Group were normal control and methotrexate control fed standard rode… Show more
