Nephroprotective Potential of Lyophilized Powder Against Renal Biomarkers and Inflammation In Vivo.

Phalsa () fruit is known for its rich nutritional profile and diverse pharmacological properties such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer, making it a promising contender for preventive measures against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in living organisms. In the present study, rats were provided with different levels of lyophilized 200, 300, and 400 mg/kg body weight along with control, fed on the basal diet. After trial completion, blood serum samples of rats subjected to renal biomarkers, hematology, and liver function tests, interleukin-6 (IL-6), whereas enzymes (alanine aminotransferase (ALT); sodium oxide dismutase, and glutathione) for kidney tissues along with photomicrographs for kidney tissue damage were measured. The findings revealed that lyophilized provision effectively reduced renal biomarkers, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine with AKI in the rats as well as treatments demonstrated significant improvements in antioxidant activity by reducing malonaldehyde levels and increasing the activity of glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase in groups treated with dosages of 300 and 400 mg/kg powder. exhibited remarkable hepatoprotective properties by decreasing ALT and displayed anti-inflammatory properties, as evidenced by a substantial decrease in interleukin-6 serum levels. The study findings also added valuable insight into the multiform nephroprotective reverberation of lyophilized phalsa powder, emphasizing its plausible protective use in reducing cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
