Abstract

Several studies have been focused on identifying alternative medicines for the treatment of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the impact of B-Glucans extract (BG) against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) induced toxicity and tissue damage in kidney. A total of 40 mice were assigned randomly to four groups (G1, control; G2, B-Glucans (75 mg/kg bw/day) orally for 2 weeks; G3, EAC and G4, EAC + BG). Current results revealed, EAC induced significant elevation in urea, creatinine, potassium (k+), chloride (Cl-) ions, kidney injury and significant decrease in sodium (Na+) and calcium (Ca++) ions when compared to B-glucans and control groups. Conversely, EAC + B-glucans modulate these changes and improved the renal functions and structure. EAC induced renal dysfunction and B-Glucans has the ability to improve renal functions. We can conclude that; BG could be used as an adjuvant therapy for kidney in ascites of hepatocellular carcinoma, Schistosoma and hepatitis.
