Abstract
Objectives: Thioacetamide (TAA) is an organosulfur, white crystalline compound having liver injury. However, it shows toxic effects on many organs. The reverts the oxidative stress created by TAA on the heart and kidney, and decreased lipid peroxide peroxidation back with antioxidant-properties nerolidol (NRL). This study hypothesized that NRL treatment a potential ameliorate nephrotoxicity and cardiotoxicity caused by TAA. Materials and Methods: every other day by gavages. (d) TAA and NRL-treated groups were assigned 200 mg/kg TAA and 100 mg/kg NRL for three weeks. Results: As a result of these dose administration thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels were detected. The results were shown that TAA leads to a significant rise in TBARS level and a significant decrease in GPx, CAT, SOD, and GSH levels in the heart and kidney tissue according to the control group. The finding of this study the NRL treatment reduced TBARS levels and increased antioxidant level. Administration of NRL prevents the biochemical and histopathological alterations induced by TAA. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that the antioxidant activity of NRL can protect against biochemical and histological damage caused by TAA in heart and kidney tissue.
