Nephroprotective Roles of L-Cysteine, Silymarin and Ursodeoxycholic acid, against Carbon Tetrachloride induced Nephrotoxicity in Male Albino Rats
The comparison of histopathological and biochemical effects of L-cysteine, silymarin and ursodeoxycholic acid which have a protective effect on kidney function against CCl4 induce nephrotoxicity were investigated in this study.

| Summary: | The comparison of histopathological and biochemical effects of L-cysteine, silymarin and
ursodeoxycholic acid which have a protective effect on kidney function against CCl4 induce
nephrotoxicity were investigated in this study. Twenty adult male rats were divided into 5 groups and
treated as follows, the control group was administrated 1.5 ml/kg. B.W physiological solution (0.9%)
orally, Carbon Tetrachloride group (CCl4 1.5 ml/kg. B.W), L-cysteine (100mg/kg B.W.) +CCl4 group,
ursodeoxycholic acid (50 ml/kg B.W.) +CCl4 group, and the last group was Silymarin 100 mg/kg. B.W with
CCl4, the experiment lasted 30 days. Oxidative stress caused by CCl4 caused increasing in Creatinine and
Urea levels in serum while decreasing the level of uric acid and albumin when compared with the control
group, L-cysteine, Silymarin and the drug presented ameliorating effect by decreasing creatinine, Urea,
and increasing the level of uric acid with albumin. Histopathological results showed that CCl4 caused
oxidative damage in kidney tubules in comparison with control group, while Silymarin, L-cysteine showed
nephroprotective effects |
