Protective and anti-inflammatory effects of silymarin on paraquat-induced nephrotoxicity in rats

Introduction: Paraquat is a quaternary nitrogen herbicide which induces kidney toxicity due to producing oxidative stress. We have investigated the potential protective effects of silymarin on paraquat-induced renal toxicity. Methods: Twenty-four male rats were divided into three groups, group 1, co...
