ABSTRACT
Cisplatin is known by its toxicity by disturbing electrolytes homeostasis. Thus we aimed to find out the role of herbal plant Cichorium intybus on Cisplatin - induced toxicity. 24 male Albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups Group I is termed as untreated control; Group II is Cisplatin control and received 3 mg/kg b.w.; i.p.; Group III received C. intybus ethanolic extract at a dose of 500 mg/kg b.w. orally for 10 consecutive days and Group IV is Cisplatin + C. intybus pretreated group. C. intybus is given 30 minutes prior to Cisplatin. Cisplatin-induced electrolytes disturbances is indicated by increase Intra-erythrocyte sodium content, decreased plasma magnesium, calcium and Intra-erythrocyte Na[+]-K[+]-ATPase which implicates the renal toxicity. At a dose of 500 mg/kg b.w. of C. Intybus pretreatment showed partial counter action on the electrolytes imbalances and Na[+]-K[+]-ATPase activity
