Effects of Aulosira fertilisima against Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity and Oxidative Stress in Rats

Oxidative stress due to abnormal production of reactive oxygen molecules (ROM) is believed to be involved in the etiology of toxicities of many xenobiotics. Evidence suggested that ROM is involved in the nephrotoxicity of a widely used synthetic anticancer drug cisplatin. The nephroprotective effects of ethanol extract of Aulosira fertilisima Ghose (EEA) was evaluated using cisplatin (5 mg/kg
