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):

·       Clinical observation

·       Feed water consumption

·       Body Weight.

·       The heart and kidney will be isolated, weighed

·    Blood serum parameters: Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), Serum glutamic oxoleacetic transaminase.(SGOT), Lactate dehyrogenase (LDH), Creatinine phosphokinase(CPK), Serum urea, Total Protein / Albumin Concentration determination.

·       Electro cardiac changes.

·       Antioxidant-activity- SOD, GSH-px & Catalase level

·       Histopathology of Heart and Kidney tissues.

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.
