The Role of Artemisia Herba-Alba in Treatment of Kidney Disorders that Induced by Cell Wall of Enterobacter Cloacae Rats
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current work was aimed to exhibited the role of A. herba-alba to enhance the antioxidant state after treated the rats with cell wall of E. cloacae. The work utilized 20 rats that distributed to five groups (each group consist 5 rats); control group that received normal saline, rat received (orally) with 50u/ml of cell wall extract. rat received (orally) 50u/ml of cell wall extract and treated with 50mg/kg of leaves extract. Rat received (orally) with 50u/ml of cell wall extract and treated with 100mg/kg of leaves extract. The findings revealed significant (P < 0.05) elevate in MDA with reduce in levels GSH and catalase in rat received (orally) with 50u/ml of cell wall extract compare with control rat. The findings of treated rats exhibited non-significant (P < 0.05) changes oxidative state compare with control rat. Histological, kidney slides exhibited thickening wall of blood vessels, hemorrhage with fibrosis in kidney of rat received (orally) with 50u/ml of cell wall extract. After treatment with leaves extract, kidney back to semi-normal state. It was concluded that A. herba-alba has antioxidant activities.
