Hepatoprotective effects of silymarin on cyclophosphamide-induced hepatotoxicity in male rats
Abstract:Background: Cancer is the primary cause of mortality and a significant medical problem affecting life expectancy. Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressive medication that effectively treats cancers. Several side effects on the body, such as hepatotoxicity, limit its use. The study aims to assess the possible protective effect of silymarin on liver-induced hepatotoxicity caused by cyclophosphamide in rats. Materials and methods: 30 adult male albino rats were randomly divided into three… Show more
