Cyclophosphamide-induced hepatotoxicity in wistar rats: The modulatory role of gallic acid as a hepatoprotective and chemopreventive phytochemical

Abstract: Background:Gallic acid (GA) is an endogenous plant phenol known to have antioxidant, free radical scavenging ability, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-fungal properties. The aim of this study was to assess the protective effect of GA on cyclophosphamide (CPA)-induced hepatotoxicity in male Wistar rats.Methods:Sixty rats were grouped into six groups of 10 rats per group. Group 1 received distilled water. Group 2 received CPA at 200 mg/kg single dose intraperitoneally on day 1. Groups 3 and 4 received a … Show more

“…Further studies confirm typical liver damage associated with CP administration [48][49][50]. Moreover, this was confirmed by other recent histopathological studies [47,[51][52][53], in which major CP induced histopathological alterations in liver tissue were periportal inflammation, inflammatory cells infiltration, hemorrhage, congestion of blood vessels, hepatocyte necrosis around the central veins, pyknosis of nuclei, cellular disintegration, and distortion.…”
