3.0 METHOD:
·
Group
- 1, 3, 5 and 6 pretreated with Herbal extract
orally for 7 days. On the 7th day adriamycin is injected intra
peritoneal to 4, 5, 6, groups of animals.
·
On
the 10th day, six animals from each group will be used for the
evaluation of ECG and subjected to decapitation.
·
Blood
samples and heart specimens were collected for the estimation of various
biomarkers in serum as will as heart.
·
Formalin
fixed heart specimens were used for histopathological examination.
·
Similarly
the above group of the remaining six animals daily treated with herbal extract
for 30 days, after administration of adriamycin injection.
·
Animals
will be subjected to decapitation, Blood samples and kidney specimens are collected
for the estimation of various biomarkers in serum as will as kidney. Formalin
fixed heart specimens were used for histopathological examination.
4.0 END POINT PARAMETER(S):

5.0 MOA : Adriamycin –
induced cardio toxicity and nephrotoxicity have been supposed to be mediated
through different mechanism like inducing semiquinone free radical formation, ion
dependent oxidative damage to biological macromolecules and membrane lipid
peroxidation. Tissue with less developed activities of anti- oxidant enzymes
like super oxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxide (GHS-px)
have been reported in adriamycin induced cardiac and nephrotoxicity.
