Phytochemical characterization and bioactivity of Lycium europaeum: A focus on antioxidant, antinociceptive, hepatoprotective and nephroprotective effects.
MouseChemical/toxinMalePretreatment, before carbon tetrachloride administration
Model: Carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic and renal injury in mice; analgesia assessed by hot-plate and acetic acid writhing tests
Carbon tetrachloride raised serum liver and renal biomarkers and tissue malondialdehyde, and pretreatment with the Lycium europaeum methanol fraction or quercetin significantly restored most of these parameters towards normal with improvement in histopathology. The methanol fraction also reduced ac…
