ABSTRACT
The present study aims to demonstrate the efficiency of pycnogenol as a protector in male mice against hazards effect in kidney functions induced by glycerol. Mice were received i.m. injection 50% glycerol [8ml/ kg b.wt] 30 minutes prior to glycerol administration, other group received orally pycnogenol [400mg/ kg b.wt] over a period of 12 hours. Lipid peroxidation products [MDA, PC], non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidant [GSH, CAT, SOD] were estimated, in addition serum protein, urea, createnine concentration as well as serum Na, K levels were determined. It seems that rhabdomyolysis effect caused by glycerol can be controlled to some extent by pycnogenol administration
